SG&A Efficiency: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving semiconductor industry, understanding operational efficiency is crucial. Over the past decade, from 2014 to 2023, QUALCOMM Incorporated and STMicroelectronics N.V. have showcased distinct trends in their Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses. QUALCOMM's SG&A expenses have fluctuated, peaking in 2018 with a 21% increase from 2014, before stabilizing around 2023. In contrast, STMicroelectronics has demonstrated a steady upward trajectory, with a notable 75% rise in SG&A expenses by 2023. This divergence highlights QUALCOMM's strategic cost management and STMicroelectronics' investment in growth. However, data for 2024 remains incomplete, leaving room for speculation on future trends. As these industry leaders navigate the complexities of global markets, their SG&A efficiency will continue to be a key indicator of their competitive edge.
