With Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) gradually shifting to its own chips, investors are closely monitoring Qualcomm's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) position in the semiconductor industry. Several ETFs have significant exposure to Qualcomm, making them noteworthy for those tracking developments in the sector:
VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMHX#NASDAQ">SMHX</a>): This ETF provides exposure to major fabless semiconductor firms that are key players in wireless communication and AI-driven processing. The fund holds 5.35% of its assets in Qualcomm currently.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): One of the most popular semiconductor ETFs, SOXX holds a diversified portfolio of leading chipmakers, including Qualcomm, in which it currently invests 6.45% of its assets.
Invesco Semiconductors ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSI#NYSE">PSI</a>): This ETF invests in semiconductor firms with strong growth potential. Qualcomm is one of its top three holdings, with 5.18% weightage.
Why is the exposure to Qualcomm the talk of town right now? Let&#8217;s see.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Qualcomm About To Lose A Key Customer?</h3>
Apple has leapt toward self-reliance with the introduction of its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43820197/apple-unveils-iphone-16e-with-a18-chip-ai-features-599-price-tag"> first custom-designed modem chip</a>. Revealed on Feb. 19, this chip will power the newly launched iPhone 16e, a $599 model in Apple&#8217;s latest smartphone lineup. This move could signal a major shift in Apple&#8217;s relationship with Qualcomm, its long-time modem supplier.
For years, Apple has depended on Qualcomm for modem chips that connect iPhones to wireless networks. Qualcomm also supplies modems for Android smartphones and Windows laptops, making it a dominant player in the industry. However, Apple has been working on reducing its dependence on third-party suppliers and took a major leap with the development of the C1 subsystem—a collection of components that now includes Apple&#8217;s in-house modem chip.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43840286/apples-iphone-16e-to-drive-revenue-growth-for-tim-cooks-company-says-top-analyst">Apple&#8217;s iPhone 16e To Drive Revenue Growth For Tim Cook&#8217;s Company, Says Top Analyst</a>
Creating a modem chip isn't easy. It must be compatible with networks worldwide and work seamlessly with hundreds of carriers. Only a handful of companies, including Samsung, MediaTek, and Huawei, have successfully developed their own modem chips.
Apple itself struggled in the past to move away from Qualcomm. It even had a legal battle with the chip giant before settling in 2019 and signing new supply agreements. But now, Apple believes it has cracked the code with its advanced C1 chip, which it plans to refine and expand across its devices in the coming years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Qualcomm?</h3>
Qualcomm faces a significant challenge as Apple moves away from its modem business. The transition could result in a revenue hit to Qualcomm's annual revenue. Management at Qualcomm has already <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/qualcomm-inks-deal-with-apple-to-supply-iphone-chips-through-2026-4d7890a4">projected </a>that it will supply only 20% of Apple&#8217;s modem chips by 2026, according to a September 2023 Wall Street Journal report.
Qualcomm has been preparing for Apple's departure for years, but it still relies on the iPhone maker for over 10% of its total revenue, according to its annual filing for 2024.
With Apple gradually shifting to its own chips, Qualcomm could eventually lose one of its biggest customers. While Apple hasn't given a timeline for a complete transition, this development raises concerns for Qualcomm's future revenue from iPhone modems.
On the flip side, it is still too early to say whether Apple&#8217;s modem chip is successful. Let&#8217;s say if the phone does not perform as well as iPhones with Qualcomm chips, it will bolster investors&#8217; faith in Qualcomm. For now, investors can only keep an eye on the developments and tap ETFs carrying semiconductor companies including Qualcomm.

Nvidia, AMD, Taiwan Semi Gain As Broadcom's Q4 Performance Sparks Sector-Wide Surge

China responded swiftly on Tuesday to new U.S. restrictions on semiconductor technology exports by imposing tighter controls on critical minerals used in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">chip manufacturing</a>.
The move targets gallium, germanium, and antimony — essential materials for advanced electronics and defense applications, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/china-tightens-curbs-on-exports-of-materials-with-chip-making-applications-to-u-s-4348a02c?mod=latest_headlines">reports</a>.
What Happened: A day after the U.S. blacklisted 140 Chinese entities and restricted exports of memory chips vital to artificial intelligence, Beijing retaliated with export bans and reviews for U.S.-bound shipments of these minerals. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce justified the measures as necessary for national security.
China also cautioned its businesses against purchasing American chips due to reliability and safety concerns. 
The restricted minerals are critical to the U.S. economy and defense supply chains, with Beijing accounting for a significant portion of imports between 2019 and 2022. For instance, the U.S. relied on China for 80% of its antimony needs during this period, WSJ reports.

The new U.S. export controls, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">took effect Monday</a>, primarily target Chinese firms such as Naura Technology Group, Huawei-linked companies and equipment manufacturers. These measures also extend restrictions to non-U.S. chip suppliers reliant on American technologies, sparking concern among global players like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Why It Matters: The clash underscores the fragility of global supply chains and the geopolitical stakes tied to semiconductor dominance. With China tightening its grip on critical materials, the U.S. faces mounting pressure to diversify its supply sources. 
Experts warn these developments could reshape the global semiconductor landscape as companies and governments navigate new trade barriers. U.S. firms such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) may feel the ripple effects alongside international players exempt from these restrictions, including Dutch firm ASM International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).
ETFs such as the Invesco Semiconductors ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSI#NASDAQ">PSI</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>) could also feel the effects of these trade restrictions, given their exposure to impacted companies.

China Retaliates Against US Chip Sanctions, Tightens Mineral Exports

On Monday, the outgoing Biden administration will implement its third crackdown on China&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor industry</a> within three years, citing the same national security threats as reasons it mentioned for its prior sanctions, intensifying geopolitical tensions between the countries.
The initiative, launching Monday, will impose export restrictions on 140 Chinese entities, including chip equipment manufacturers such as Naura Technology Group and other firms, targeting advanced memory chips and chipmaking tools.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock is trading lower on Monday. Prior reports indicated Nvidia&#8217;s potential to earn <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41204521/nvidias-gpu-sales-at-risk-as-china-pushes-local-ai-chips-in-retaliation" rel="noreferrer noopener">$12 billion in sales</a> from 1 million H20 GPUs in China in 2024.&nbsp;

Reuters reports that the restrictions will also affect Chinese chip toolmakers Piotech and SiCarrier Technology and shipments from nations like Singapore and Malaysia.
The package includes new controls on 24 additional chipmaking tools, software, and high-bandwidth memory chips essential for AI training and high-end applications.
Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>), and Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) could face significant impacts alongside non-U.S. firms such as Dutch company ASM International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>). These controls are part of a broader strategy to limit Beijing&#8217;s access to advanced technologies critical for its semiconductor sector.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42244387/nvidia-lam-reasearch-applied-materials-stocks-gain-as-biden-government-eyes-softer-semiconductor-sanctions-against-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prior reports indicated</a> that the U.S. proposed to go softer on China for the third semiconductor embargo following intense negotiations with allies like Japan and the Netherlands and American chip equipment makers.
Chinese entities added to the list include over 100 semiconductor and chipmaking toolmakers, two investment companies, and others linked to Huawei Technologies, a telecom giant pivotal to China&#8217;s chip advancements.
Companies on the list will require special licenses to receive shipments from U.S. suppliers, with most license requests likely to be denied.
The new rules also expand the foreign direct product rule, restricting exports from U.S., Japanese, and Dutch manufacturers to essential Chinese chip plants.
Due to agreements with the U.S., Japan and the Netherlands are exempt, which relieves ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tokyo Electron Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOELY#OTC">TOELY</a>).
However, manufacturers in other nations, such as Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan, are affected, to the dismay of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>).

What's Going On With Nvidia Stock On Thursday?

Struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;continues to receive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo" rel="noreferrer noopener">takeover proposals from</a> chip companies, the latest being Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) following Qualcomm Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) proposal earlier.
Arm Holdings recently proposed to acquire Intel&#8217;s product unit. However, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/arm-rejected-by-intel-after-approaching-it-about-buying-product-unit?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Intel is not looking to sell the business division.
Intel stock plunged 31% as it failed to capitalize on the artificial intelligence shift, which is something that contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) excelled at.

Meanwhile, some reports indicated Intel&#8217;s plans to convert its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundry business into</a> an independent unit, including exploring a spinoff into a publicly traded company. The chipmaker also explored divesting stake in the programmable chip unit&nbsp;Altera.
However, Intel&#8217;s recent big wins included a&nbsp;U.S. chipmaking deal from&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web services and the U.S. Chip grant.
The chipmaker also clarified that it would not divest a majority stake in the struggling <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40941075/whats-going-on-with-autonomous-driving-stock-mobileye-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Israeli autonomous driving company</a> Mobileye Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>), whose stock is down 66% in the last 12 months.
Intel&#8217;s exploration of stake sales to companies like Qualcomm and Arm could hinder its U.S. subsidy over antitrust grounds, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/ff0ca77d-ad35-45ba-a493-201a26932efb" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Multiple deals including Nvidia&#8217;s proposal to snap Arm Holdings from&nbsp;Softbank Group Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) and Intel&#8217;s&nbsp;Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSEM#NASDAQ">TSEM</a>) deal have succumbed to global regulatory opposition.
The semiconductor sector had a good week, buoyed by the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41046485/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-braodcom-intel-and-other-chip-stocks-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">key rate cuts</a> in the U.S. and China, an upbeat quarterly print from Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), and continued AI investments from Big Tech companies.
Semiconductor ETFs, Invesco Semiconductors ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSI#NYSE">PSI</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>), gained 5%- 7% in the last five days.
