Qualcomm is trading 4.76% down now at ARS 22620.00 as surging government bond yields pressure semiconductor stocks.
- Reuters says higher yields reduce the present value of future profits, while chipmakers broadly declined amid renewed U.S.-Iran tensions.
- No fresh Qualcomm-specific announcement on August 18, 2026 clearly explains the move.
- Recent earnings weakness and smartphone pressures remain background concerns, not a confirmed trigger for this session.
