Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) shares settled higher <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42633922/qualcomm-bags-win-in-chips-licensing-trial-against-arm-but-the-battle-is-not-over-yet">during Friday's session</a>.
Qualcomm bagged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42646386/qualcomm-scores-big-in-arm-lawsuit-will-bearish-trends-back-down">a key win in its legal battle</a> against semiconductor design company Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>). A federal jury in Delaware ruled that Qualcomm did not violate its licensing agreement with Arm, clearing a hurdle for the San Diego, California headquartered chipmaker.
With the recent buzz around Qualcomm, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. As of now, Qualcomm offers an annual dividend yield of 2.22%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 85 cents per share ($3.40 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?

To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $269,851 or around 1,765 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $53,970 or around 353 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.40 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.40 = 1,765 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.40 = 353 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
QCOM Price Action: Shares of Qualcomm gained 1.7% to close at $152.89 on Friday. The company&#8217;s stock gained another 1.9% in after-hours trading.

Battle lines are drawn in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/defense">the defense sector</a>. On one side, Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) riding high on a meteoric stock surge of over 350% this year. On the other, defense titan Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), grappling with sluggish stock performance and stiff competition from a rising tech consortium.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Disruptor: Palantir</h2>
Palantir, alongside Anduril Industries, is leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42640010">a groundbreaking coalition</a> with Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX and OpenAI to revolutionize the $850 billion U.S. defense market. The goal? Outpace traditional contractors by integrating AI-powered solutions and autonomous systems. 
Palantir's AI Platform already works seamlessly with Anduril&#8217;s Lattice software, signaling a shift toward modern, agile defense technologies.

Technically, PLTR stock is on a tear. Its share price of $80.55 is comfortably above the eight, 20 and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs), signaling strong bullish momentum. However, with a relative strength index (RSI) of 70.81, it's entering overbought territory—a red flag for cautious investors.

Meanwhile, Lockheed is feeling the heat.

The defense giant's stock, at $489.02, is below key moving averages, including its 200-day SMA of $510.22, indicating bearish sentiment. A relative strength index (RSI) of 29.59 suggests the stock is oversold, leaving a sliver of hope for a bounce-back.
Despite its legacy status and deep-rooted Pentagon ties, Lockheed faces mounting pressure to adapt as rivals like Palantir challenge its dominance with innovative, cost-efficient technologies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
Palantir's agility and tech-first approach make it a compelling contender in a sector ripe for disruption. Lockheed, however, isn't out of the fight—its oversold status might attract value-driven investors betting on a rebound.
As the defense industry evolves, this tech-versus-tradition showdown is one stock battle investors can't afford to ignore. 
The question remains: Can Lockheed innovate fast enough to fend off Palantir's charge, or is this the dawn of a new era?

Nuvation Bio shares are trading higher after the company announced the FDA accepted the New Drug Application for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1+ NSCLC.

Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANEB#NASDAQ">ANEB</a>), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid-induced toxicities (the "Company" or "Anebulo"), today announced a positive regulatory update and the close of a capital raise.
<ul>
<li>In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study, Anebulo enrolled 134 adult subjects challenged with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinoil ("THC"), oral selonabant blocked or reversed key CNS effects of THC, establishing the clinical path for intravenous selonabant for a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious and life-threatening consequences of acute cannabis-induced toxicity in children</li>
<li>Anebulo met with FDA to discuss the development of intravenous selonabant and the initial plan for clinical testing</li>
<li>FDA acknowledged the unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to cannabis toxicity, and proposed a close, ongoing collaboration to efficiently advance the selonabant program for the pediatric indication</li>
<li>Anebulo plans to begin its Phase I SAD study of IV selonabant in healthy adults in 1H25</li>
<li>Anebulo entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement with 22NW, a company controlled by one of its directors, Nantahala Capital and an additional existing investor for the issuance and sale of 15.2 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $15 million in a private placement offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules</li>
<li>In exchange for purchasing $10 million of shares of common stock in the private placement, Anebulo intends to modify the Loan and Security Agreement (LSA) that was entered into with 22NW and JFL Capital Management by reducing the maximum loan size to approximately $3 million, which reduces the LSA to just under the securitization threshold, and the removal of any securitization</li>
