If you believe QCOM can sustain its faster revenue growth while keeping margins near current levels, then the stock looks attractive relative to AAPL because it trades at much lower P/S and EV/EBITDA multiples despite solid balance-sheet quality.
QCOM's current price of $147.61 sits well below AAPL-implied price of $182.58, implying 23.7% upside. The discount is especially pronounced on revenue and EBITDA-based multiples, suggesting the market is assigning QCOM a much lower quality/growth profile than AAPL.
