Despite tech giant Apple agreeing to pay Qualcomm an estimated $5bn to $6bn in April to settle a long-running lawsuit over patent infringement, competition from cheaper rivals such as MediaTek are expected to have held the company back.
Qualcomm is tipped to post revenues of $9.2bn to $10.2bn for the quarter, equating to earnings-per-share of $0.70 to $0.80, down from $1.01 year-over-year.
Qualcomm will announce its Q3 results via a conference call, scheduled for 1.45pm PT (9:45pm London time).

By GlobalDataSearching for ways to make Dubai a leading travel destination, the Department of Tourism has encouraged startups developing products and software focused on hyper personalisation, connected travel, digitising operations and conscious travel to apply.
Ten successful applicants will be selected by a panel of technology experts and senior tourism board figures. These startups will then be tasked with creating and piloting their product ahead of the GITEX Future Stars conference in October.
UltraVoilet movie storage goes offline
UltraVoilet, an online service that allowed consumers to store digital versions of films that they had physically purchased in the cloud, will shut down today.
The service, launched in 2011, was created to provide consumers with various ways to access their purchased media. Having signed agreements with various digital service providers and physical retailers, users could purchase a movie through one retailer and watch it on a service provided by another.
However, ‘changes in the market’ have forced it to cease operations. This is likely due to the rise of streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, with consumers now more likely to rent a movie rather than purchase it.
Users that don’t want to lose access to their UltraViolet library need to connect it with another service, such as Flixster, today.
