Broadcom Plunges on Soft AI Guidance: Will It Break $400?
Broadcom's Q2 results beat estimates with AI revenue more than doubling year-over-year, but forward AI revenue guidance disappointed, sending shares down 12.57% after hours. The stock had already surged to record highs, pricing in outsized expectations — leaving earnings as a catalyst for profit-taking rather than a rally. The long-term custom ASIC and VMware software thesis remains intact, but near-term valuation had run far ahead. Is this an overreaction worth buying, or a peak-valuation signal — and will AVGO break below $400?
