Analyst Ratings Synthesis

The supplied consensus is Hold across 27 analysts. Its target summary lists a low of $168.85, a mean of $180 and a high of $168.85; because the stated high equals the low while exceeding neither the mean, that dataset cannot establish a valid range or target clustering. Separate forecast pages show $193.65 at Public.com, $200.64 at TipRanks and $205.83 at MarketBeat, but these are aggregator figures rather than a consistent, dated analyst set. No named analyst is identified as the most or least bullish, and the evidence gives no attributable rating actions or target revisions from the past week. The substantive disagreement is over handset execution and earnings durability versus potential growth from Qualcomm’s expanding AI footprint.
