What the numbers say

Qualcomm is a semiconductors name in the information technology sector. Over the past year it returned +4.0%, against -16.9% over three months and -6.7% over one. It sits 3.3% below its 200-day average, close enough that the trend is genuinely undecided. Annualized volatility of 52.2% is very high — position sizing matters more here than the ranking does.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -41.0%, and it has traded a median $3.0B a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.51 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it follows the index loosely.
