Broadcom ( (AVGO) ) is experiencing volatility. Read on for a possible explanation for the stock’s unusual movement.
Broadcom shares slid despite the company posting record second-quarter revenue and profit, as investors reacted nervously to lofty expectations around its booming AI business. The stock move came even though Broadcom delivered $22.19B in revenue, $2.44 in adjusted EPS, and more than $10B in both operating cash flow and free cash flow.
Wall Street also weighed new guidance that AI semiconductor revenue is set to jump from $10.8B in Q2 to about $16B in Q3, with total Q3 revenue projected near $29.4B. Those bullish forecasts led several analysts to raise their price targets, but the higher bar may have added pressure to a stock that had already priced in strong AI-driven growth.
