With strong hedge fund interest and a low price-to-earnings ratio, QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) secures a place on our list of the 10 Most Undervalued Value Stocks to Buy Now.

On July 31, 2025, Benchmark reaffirmed its ‘Buy’ rating and $200 price target on QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM). This reiteration comes despite a dip in after-hours trading. The bullish stance is attributed to the company’s strong quarterly results, where the Automotive segment recorded 21% year-over-year growth. The IoT segment climbed 24%, while the Handsets segment recorded a 7% growth, thanks to strong Snapdragon 8 Elite demand in premium devices.

Despite the eventual loss of Apple business, the investment firm highlighted QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM)’s diversification strategy, which resulted in the Automotive segment’s quarterly contribution of $1 billion and the IoT segment’s contribution of $1.7 billion. The analyst believes the after-hours dip was due to the company’s EPS guidance, which failed to surpass Street’s estimates.

Operating across Chipset, Technology Licensing, and Strategic Investment segments, QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) delivers foundational wireless technologies. It is included in our list of the most undervalued value stocks to buy.
