The significant reduction in Qualcomm's stake by Cannon Advisors signals growing skepticism over its near-term growth prospects, especially amid plateauing 5G adoption and intensifying competition in AI chips. This move may trigger a ripple effect across the supply chain, compelling TSMC and NVIDIA to reassess collaboration strategies.
