At Holdings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 20 most recent 13F filings for the 12/31/2025 reporting period, and noticed that Qualcomm Inc (Symbol: QCOM) was held by 12 of these funds. When hedge fund managers appear to be thinking alike, we find it is a good idea to take a closer look.
Before we proceed, it is important to point out that 13F filings do not tell the whole story, because these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC, but are not required to disclose their short positions. A fund making a bearish bet against a stock by shorting calls, for example, might also be long some amount of stock as they trade around their overall bearish position. This long component could show up in a 13F filing and everyone might assume the fund is bullish, but this tells only part of the story because the bearish/short side of the position is not seen.
Having given that caveat, we believe that looking at groups of 13F filings can be revealing, especially when comparing one holding period to another. Below, let's take a look at the change in QCOM positions, for this latest batch of 13F filers:
| Fund | New Position? | Change In Share Count | Change In Market Value ($ in 1000's) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adelphi Trust Co | NEW | +1,355 | +$232 |
| LBP AM SA | Existing | +5,473 | +$1,684 |
| Roman Butler Fullerton & Co. | Existing | -240 | -$87 |
| Peoples Financial Services CORP. | Existing | -887 | -$108 |
| Slagle Financial LLC | Existing | -78 | -$7 |
| LS Investment Advisors LLC | Existing | -811 | +$220 |
| Hixon Zuercher LLC | Existing | -153 | +$18 |
| Sather Financial Group Inc | Existing | -2,385 | +$1,284 |
| Diversified Management Inc. | NEW | +3,040 | +$520 |
| Childress Capital Advisors LLC | Existing | +419 | +$93 |
| KBC Group NV | Existing | +158,710 | +$32,642 |
| Towne Trust Company N.A | Existing | +3,516 | +$609 |
| Aggregate Change: | +167,959 | +$37,100 | |
In terms of shares owned, we count 4 of the above funds having increased existing QCOM positions from 09/30/2025 to 12/31/2025, with 6 having decreased their positions and 2 new positions. Worth noting is that Northwest Financial Advisors, included in this recent batch of 13F filers, exited QCOM common stock as of 12/31/2025.
Looking beyond these particular funds in this one batch of most recent filers, we tallied up the QCOM share count in the aggregate among all of the funds which held QCOM at the 12/31/2025 reporting period (out of the 1,884 we looked at in total). We then compared that number to the sum total of QCOM shares those same funds held back at the 09/30/2025 period, to see how the aggregate share count held by hedge funds has moved for QCOM. We found that between these two periods, funds reduced their holdings by 559,120 shares in the aggregate, from 26,880,510 down to 26,321,390 for a share count decline of approximately -2.08%. The overall top three funds holding QCOM on 12/31/2025 were:
| » | Fund | Shares of QCOM Held |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group Inc. | 3,299,893 |
| 2. | Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V. | 1,783,988 |
| 3. | SG Americas Securities LLC | 1,335,432 |

We'll keep following the latest 13F filings by hedge fund managers and bring you interesting stories derived from a look at the aggregate information across groups of managers between filing periods. While looking at individual 13F filings can sometimes be misleading due to the long-only nature of the information, the sum total across groups of funds from one reporting period to another can be a lot more revealing and relevant, providing interesting stock ideas that merit further research, like Qualcomm Inc (Symbol: QCOM).
