GM will be launching the Ultra Cruise driving assistance feature on its luxury Cadillac sedan in 2023.

Of course, it is assuming that QCOM can ensure enough supply, given the current global shortage gating its revenues.

The handset segment also accounted for the majority of its revenue at 55.8%. It is evident that the company offers cutting-edge 5G technology, given its partnership with multiple smartphones, tablets, and laptop makers, including Samsung, Asus, and Sony.

It is also evident that consensus projects QCOM to continuously improve its gross margins over time. In addition, in its last earnings call, the company guided FQ2&#39;22 revenues in the range of $10.2B to $11B, representing an excellent increase of 2.7% QoQ and 38.5% YoY.
