Qualcomm reported fiscal Q3 2026 results on July 29, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $2.21, below the $2.23 estimate by 1.02%. Revenue was $9.9 billion, 2.6% above the $9.7 billion consensus. Compared with Q3 2025, EPS fell about 20% from $2.77 and revenue fell about 4.8% from $10.4 billion. It was the only EPS miss in the table.

The longer record has moved in a wide range. Annual EPS dropped from $12.53 in fiscal 2022 to $8.41 in fiscal 2023, then recovered to $10.21 in 2024 and $12.03 in 2025. Annual revenue followed a similar path, falling from $44.2 billion to $35.9 billion and returning to $44.2 billion. The first three quarters of fiscal 2026 add up to $8.36 per share, about 7.4% less than the same period a year earlier, on nearly flat revenue. Q1 2026 set the highs in the table at $3.50 per share and $12.3 billion. Over the last 20 quarters, Qualcomm topped the EPS estimate 19 times.

Qualcomm reported fiscal Q4 between November 1 and November 6 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report, which will close out fiscal 2026.
