Recent Congressional Signals for Qualcomm ($QCOM)
SELF DRIVE Act of 2026
BULLISHThe SELF DRIVE Act (HR7390) has advanced out of subcommittee on a strict party-line 12-11 vote, but its path to law is narrow. The bill creates a federal preemption framework for AV safety standards—zero authorized funding. Beneficiary stocks have rallied 5-28% over the last 30 days on anticipation. GOOGL, NVDA, and QCOM are the clearest structural winners due to direct product exposure (Waymo, DRIVE Orin, Snapdragon Ride). INTC's +130% gain is explicitly unrelated to this bill. The 1-vote margin in subcommittee signals that passage through the full Energy & Commerce Committee and the House floor is far from guaranteed.
