Qualcomm Surprises, Again (QCOM)

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) is seeing a very positive reaction this morning after the company raised guidance. 

The company sees earnings at $0.54 to $0.55 EPS, above its prior targets of $0.50 to $0.52 EPS.  Its Revenues are now expected to be above its earlier estimates of $2.5 to $2.7 Billion.  On last look, First Call had estimates at $0.52 EPS on $2.61 Billion in revenues.

The CDMA chip royalty company now sees Q3 results to be better than anticipated on increased demand for its next-generation cell phones and other devices now that it shipped 86 million Mobile Station Modem chips.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today.  Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.

 

Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
