Significance 5/10

CTO Thompson sold 8,000 QCOM shares at $172.09; stock now $163.41, -28.0% from 52-week high.

Chief Technology Officer James H. Thompson sold 8,000 shares at $172.09 on 2024-11-08, reducing his holdings by -3.6% to 211,321 shares. The stock has declined to $163.41 since the sale, down 3.9% in 30 days and -28.0% from its 52-week high of $227.09. Looking at Thompson's prior trades at QCOM specifically, he has executed 5 sales over the past months with mixed timing outcomes: one 90-day result (-14.7% on the July 1 sale) was well-timed, but two others showed positive 90-day returns (+5.2%, +1.4%), indicating 33.3% well-timed rate at this ticker. The company's recent fundamentals show $9.4B quarterly revenue with +8.8% annual growth and a P/E of 15.62, suggesting the stock trades at reasonable valuation despite the recent decline. The sale occurred at a price meaningfully above the current level ($172.09 vs $163.41), which represents a favorable execution relative to today's market, though insufficient context in this filing alone indicates whether the timing relative to subsequent price action will prove prescient or opportunistic.

Significance 5/10

CTO James H Thompson sold 8,000 QCOM shares at $169.80 on 2024-10-01; stock now $168.32, down 25.9% from 52-week high.

Thompson sold 8,000 shares (3.5% of his holdings) at $169.80 on 2024-10-01, with QUALCOMM trading at $168.32 today—near the transaction price but down 4.0% over 30 days and 17.4% over 90 days. His same-ticker history at QCOM shows 2 prior measurable 90-day outcomes, both well-timed sells: -14.7% and -16.4%, suggesting he has historically exited before declines at this stock. However, cross-ticker his track record shows average 90-day returns of 6.9%, indicating his sells are typically followed by gains overall. The contrast between his strong same-ticker timing (2 of 2 well-timed at 90 days) and weaker cross-ticker average return (+6.9%) suggests he may have specific insight into QCOM's trajectory relative to the broader market. QUALCOMM's annual revenue is down 19.0%, which provides macro context for recent weakness, though the P/E of 21.52 and $187.5B market cap remain structurally substantial.

Significance 5/10

CTO Thompson sells 8,000 QCOM shares at $171.72; stock now -27.2% from 52-week high at $165.33.

Thompson James H, Chief Technology Officer, sold 8,000 shares ($1.4M) on 2024-09-03 at $171.72, reducing holdings to 221.4K shares. The transaction occurred while QCOM was 27.2% below its 52-week high of $227.09, amid a 90-day decline of -21.1% offsetting modest 30-day gains of +4.7%. At QCOM specifically, his prior 2 completed 90-day outcomes (2024-06-03 and 2024-05-03 sales) split: one yielded -16.4% (well-timed) and one -9.9% (well-timed), indicating success in selling before declines on this ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells with 33.33% well-timed at the 90-day mark (average 90d return +10.5%), a performance below reliable prediction thresholds. The company posted -19.0% annual revenue growth and trades at P/E 21.14, signaling both margin pressure and valuation context at a $184.2B market cap.

Significance 6/10

CTO James H Thompson sells entire 4.5K QCOM position for $746.2K on 2024-08-08; stock down 27.6% from 52-week high.

James H Thompson, the Chief Technology Officer, liquidated his complete QCOM holding of 4,539 shares for $746,211.60 at $164.40 on 2024-08-08. This represents a 100.0% reduction in his QCOM position. The timing coincides with material stock weakness: QCOM is currently -27.6% from its 52-week high of $227.09 and down 21.2% over the past 30 days, while the company faces annual revenue decline of -19.0%. Thompson's cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed sell rate of 20.00%, but his prior five trades at QCOM specifically show mixed timing, with just 1 of 2 measurable 90-day outcomes being well-timed. The complete exit removes all equity exposure at a materially depressed valuation relative to recent history.

Significance 5/10

CTO James H Thompson sold 8,000 QCOM shares at $160.50; stock down -30.4% from 52-week high, -23.2% in 30 days

Thompson sold 8,000 shares (3.4% of pre-transaction holdings) on 2024-08-02 at $160.50, just as QCOM entered a steep decline: the stock has fallen -23.2% in the 30 days since and now trades -30.4% from its 52-week high of $227.09. At Thompson's cross-ticker level, his prior 7 sells averaged +1.5% return in 30 days and posted a 20% well-timed rate over 90 days—suggesting modest historical precision. However, at QCOM specifically, Thompson's track record is mixed: 1 of 5 prior same-ticker sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his two most recent QCOM sells (2024-07-01 and 2024-06-03) showed -9.3% and -2.8% 30-day returns respectively, indicating recent sales came before further weakness. The timing of this August sale relative to the company's -19.0% annual revenue decline warrants examination of whether operational headwinds informed the decision.

Significance 5/10

CTO Thompson sells 8,000 QCOM shares at $199.47; holds 237,893 post-sale amid 90-day rally of +17.0%

Chief Technology Officer James H Thompson sold 8,000 shares of QUALCOMM on 2024-07-01 at $199.47, retaining 237,893 shares and reducing his position by -3.3%. The sale occurred in the context of a significant 90-day recovery (+17.0%), though the stock currently trades -11.9% below its 52-week high of $227.09. Thompson's same-ticker history shows 5 prior sales at QCOM, with a 0% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark—none of his previous three measurable QCOM sales were followed by stock declines. His cross-ticker track record reports an average 90-day return of +22.3% after his six prior sells across all tickers, also with a 0% well-timed rate, indicating his historical sales have preceded gains rather than declines. Annual revenue growth is negative at -19.0% and the P/E stands at 26.64, suggesting the stock may be pricing in recovery expectations despite near-term revenue headwinds.
