QCOM QUALCOMM INC/DE
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Multiple insiders at QUALCOMM sold shares in the past week, including CFO Akash Palkhiwala and Chief Accounting Officer Patricia Grech, with total open-market sales amounting to approximately $306,500. Several directors also exercised stock options and disposed of shares to cover taxes, representing routine post-exercise transactions rather than open-market selling.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The sales are small in absolute and relative terms and consistent with routine, pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plans or tax-related dispositions. No immediate concern for traders, but continued monitoring of insider activity is warranted if selling accelerates ahead of earnings or strategic announcements.
Key Facts
- CFO Akash Palkhiwala sold $125,922 worth of shares in an open-market transaction on March 12, 2026.
- SVP Patricia Grech sold $77,564 in shares on March 12, 2026, also via open-market sale.

- Total open-market and issuer-disposed sales in the cluster: ~$306,500.
- All transactions occurred within a 7-day window, with no buy activity reported.
Financial Impact
$306,500 in total insider sales over 7 days, representing less than 0.001% of Qualcomm's $139.9B market cap
