RSUs are usually granted as number of shares, rather than value of shares at the time of purchase.

Share price 50, you get 100 shares as RSU grant, worth 5,000.

Share price 50, you get $5,000 in shares, that's 100 shares. Share price , you get 125 shares.

Qualcomm grants RSUs based on the value at the time of the grant, not number of shares. If they tell you you're getting $50k, that's what you get. Of course it moves around with the market over the course of the beating schedule. It also creates a perverse incentive since its better for the stock to be low when receiving a grant.

That's much less common than fixed number of shares, at least in my experience.
