Qualcomm's 0.08% Gain on $1.02B Volume Ranks 124th Amid 5G/AI Momentum and Antitrust Scrutiny

On October 1, 2025, Qualcomm (QCOM) closed with a 0.08% gain, trading volume reaching $1.02 billion, ranking 124th in market activity for the day. The stock’s performance reflected a mixed session amid evolving industry dynamics and regulatory updates.

Recent developments highlighted Qualcomm’s strategic positioning in 5G infrastructure and AI-driven semiconductor demand. Analysts noted that ongoing partnerships with major smartphone manufacturers and chipmakers reinforced the company’s near-term revenue visibility. However, potential headwinds from antitrust litigation in key markets remained a watchpoint for investors.

To run this back-test accurately we need to nail down a few practical details that aren’t fully specified yet: 1. Universe • Which market(s) should we draw the “top-500 by daily volume” from? 2. Weighting & execution rules • Should the 500 names be held in equal weights, or do you prefer volume-weighted / market-cap-weighted positions? 3. Practical data limits • My current toolset can back-test a portfolio of many tickers, but to fetch trading-volume rankings each day we must define the universe up front. If the above defaults (U.S. listed stocks, equal-weight, buy today’s close / sell next day’s close, zero costs) work for you, just say “go ahead” and I’ll start building the data pipeline; otherwise let me know your preferred adjustments.
