RE: Qualcomm - Nakul Duggal interview5 Feb 2023 17:10
Listened to the highly articulate and very interesting senior executive from Qualcomm setting out their vision for the car industry and the speed of change occurring. Obviously part of their strategy in 2023 will include a comprehensive M+A program, and logic would certainly suggest that SEE could easily be on their radar of possible targets, together in truth with many others. A possible advantage to Qualcomm from a SEE acquisition would be the opportunity to also get an entree to the aviation industry (although in truth little actual news has so far emerged from SEE about any material progress). Whether SEE would in the next 12/18 months justify a price that Qualcomm would be prepared to offer, and the SEE board feel able to recommend to shareholders I have my personal doubts, but who knows as things could change quickly if a string of material contract wins occurred this year.
