“Qualcomm announced Wednesday that it would cut its workforce by about 15 percent contributing to a total of $1.4 billion in cost reductions. It also announced changes to its board and executive compensation. The San Diego-based chipmaker said it would be reviewing structural alternatives to splitting the company. Reports surfaced earlier this week that Qualcomm could spin off its less profitable chip business. Qualcomm has reduced the outlook for its semiconductor business for the fiscal fourth quarter, driven by reduced demand and lower sell through in China. Shares of Qualcomm have tumbled more than 20 percent over the past 12 months.”
