Cost Management Insights: SG&A Expenses for QUALCOMM Incorporated and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

Navigating SG&A Expenses: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate finance, managing Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial for maintaining profitability. Over the past decade, QUALCOMM Incorporated and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. have demonstrated contrasting trajectories in their SG&A expenditures.

From 2014 to 2023, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. saw a remarkable 400% increase in SG&A expenses, peaking in 2022. This surge reflects strategic investments and expansion efforts. However, 2023 marked a significant drop, indicating potential cost-cutting measures or strategic pivots.

Conversely, QUALCOMM Incorporated maintained a more stable SG&A profile, with expenses fluctuating modestly around a 10% range. This stability underscores QUALCOMM's consistent operational efficiency. Notably, 2024 data for Fidelity is missing, leaving room for speculation on future trends.

Understanding these patterns offers valuable insights into each company's strategic priorities and financial health.
