Motorola $18 billion. QUALCOMM $29 billion.
7 October 2002 QUALCOMM achieved parity with Motorola.
Now, only 4 months later, QCOM is $10bn bigger. That's 50% more. At $27bn, Texas Instruments has fallen behind [after TXN being $25bn vs QCOM $23bn in October].
Nokia hanging in there at $67bn but just over double QCOM instead of being nearly 3x QCOM in October.
Siemens is now only $35bn, so the gap has closed a long way there.
Sony $36bn is in sight too.
What was once upon a mighty AT&T is now only $14bn.
Ebay is doing nicely at $23bn.
Whooops, the 20th century dwindles; General Motors $20bn
Ford only $16bn.
QCOM is now hunting big game:
J P Morgan $46bn,
Nokia $67bn,
Cisco $95bn,
Intel $103bn,
Verizon $105bn,
IBM $130bn,
Citigroup $170bn,
GE $229bn,
Microsoft $259bn.
QCOM has pulled clear of the herd of has-beens [Sun, Ericy, Lucent, Nortel, Wcom, Nextel, etc, etc, etc...].
THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
