--- title: "Qualcomm: Competitors" description: "Qualcomm compared with companies that share its SEC industry classification: revenue, growth and margins from SEC filings, and how the peer group is chosen." canonical: https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/qualcomm/competitors/ source: "Swoopr Investment: https://www.getswoopr.com" --- # Qualcomm: Competitors & Industry Structure ## Direct Answer SEC EDGAR classifies Qualcomm under SIC code 3663 (Radio & Tv Broadcasting & Communications Equipment). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 14 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Qualcomm ranks 1 of 15. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does Qualcomm Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Qualcomm (QCOM)** | $44.3 billion FY2025 | 13.7% | 27.9% | 12.5% | | [Motorola Solutions (MSI)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/motorola-solutions/) | $11.7 billion FY2025 | 8.0% | 25.6% | 18.4% | | [Ubiquiti Inc.

Select the chart to open it full size.* ## How Does Qualcomm Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code? 15 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 3663 (Radio & Tv Broadcasting & Communications Equipment), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | Qualcomm | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $44.3 billion | $107 million | 1 of 15 | | Revenue growth | 13.7% | 12.5% | 7 of 15 | | Operating margin | 27.9% | -27.8% | 2 of 15 | | Net margin | 12.5% | -12.4% | 5 of 15 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Qualcomm reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000804328-25-000085 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are Qualcomm's competitors?

(VISN), Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL), Aviat Networks Inc. (AVNW). Its 10-K names the competitors it considers most relevant. ### How does Qualcomm compare with its peers on margins? Qualcomm's fiscal 2025 operating margin was 27.9%, against a peer median of -29.4%. ### How are these peers chosen? By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code. Classification codes are broad, so read the peer list as a screen, not a verdict. ### How does Qualcomm rank among all companies in its SEC industry?
