Background & analysis
According to a 36Kr report published on November 7, 2026, citing a securities filing submitted on Friday, Google has acquired nearly 3 million shares of chipmaker Qualcomm for about $548 million, representing less than 0.5% of Qualcomm's total share capital. The filing states that Google bought 2,976,982 Qualcomm shares. As Qualcomm pushes into the AI data center market, the investment gives Google exposure to Qualcomm's business there. Beyond Qualcomm, Google also holds shares in chip design firm Arm and has a stock agreement with chip designer Marvell valued at up to $12.2 billion, under which the two companies are cooperating on Google's in-house AI chip, the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). This is the full extent of the information disclosed so far.
