IMO, based on all articles and interviews I have read and seen…

I see a high possibility of company split this time around.

Reasons:

1. The stock price has severely under-performed the market for the last two years.

2. Shareholders are past being patient regarding unlocking the value of the individual QCT and QCL business models. Some of the large hedge and mutual funds have already liquidated their holdings in QCOM, hence the huge stock price drop…

3. Executive compensation is out of whack compared with ROI to shareholders.

4. Company cost cutting practices (layoffs, expense cuts, etc.) have not boosted stock price.
