That sounds like a terrible scenario. If you feel that way, why would you own the stock? And if you don’t own the stock, why would you be here complaining?

You’re sayin’ that Q sucked the last 10 years especially compared to the major indices. Technically you may be correct. However, some or many here will remember the term “Quillionaire”. I think there’s some Quillionares laying around here still. I’ve been transparent. I sold most of my Q several months ago @167. Much of the appreciation was in that 10 year period you mentioned. Not a Quillionaire but got a good part of the way there. So it’s hard to sell the story to me and I’m sure some others here that Q sucks.

Over the past 10 years (2015 to 2025) the compounded annual growth rate in earnings for Qcom was 8.8%. It was 8.9% for the S&P 500. Qcom likey paid 50% or more in Dividends over the S&P during that same time period given an equal investment in each. So can’t really say Qualcomm underperformed the S&P from a business performance perspective. The advantage of Qualcomm over the S&P is its valuation. That valuation hurt investors over the past 10 years in terms of stock performance but sets it up for outperformance going forward which is the only thing that matters when allocating your next $ of investment capital.
