Broadcom Outlook Triggers Chip Sell-Off
Broadcom delivered strong quarterly results on June 4, 2026 but declined to raise revenue guidance, reiterating fiscal‑year 2027 AI revenue guidance of $100 billion. The stock fell about 15% in premarket trading and the weakness spread to other semiconductor names including Micron, AMD, SanDisk and Intel. Some market participants saw the move as profit‑taking in richly valued names rather than a fundamentals-driven industry reset: hyperscalers (Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft) traded higher and Nvidia was flat. BTIG noted the S&P 500 information technology index had an RSI of 82 and was 28% above its 200‑day moving average. Analysts highlighted modest customer diversification risk for Broadcom at Alphabet — Macquarie projects Broadcom’s share of Google’s TPU supply to fall from ~95% in 2026 to ~80% in 2027 and ~65% in 2028.
Broadcom’s earnings call and guidance moved broad semiconductor valuations and investor expectations; its commentary on AI revenue and supplier share at a major hyperscaler (Alphabet) has implications for AI hardware supply chains and investor sentiment across the chip sector.

Broadcom Guidance Sparks Stock Drop; Buying Opportunity
Broadcom reported a profitable Q2 with revenue of $22.19 billion, slightly above consensus, but its forward guidance for AI chip revenue fell short of market "whisper" expectations and triggered roughly a 15% intraday stock drop. The company projected Q3 AI chip revenue of $16 billion versus unofficial expectations around $17 billion; weakness in legacy non-AI businesses (enterprise storage, broadband routing) also weighed on sentiment. CNBC Pro contributor Jeff Kilburg describes the pullback as a buying opportunity and outlines an options spread (short $400 put, long $370 put, long $430 call) established around an AVGO price near $405, costing about $5 and offering upside above $435. Kilburg discloses his Mango Growth ETF (GARY) recently purchased Broadcom stock. The article was published June 5, 2026.
Broadcom earnings may revive chip rally
Broadcom is due to report quarterly results after the market close on June 3, 2026, and analysts expect the company’s results and guidance to influence the broader semiconductor rally. Hyperscalers rely on Broadcom’s ASICs and the company has commercial agreements with Anthropic, OpenAI and Alphabet (including an April deal to help build custom AI chips/TPUs). FactSet consensus for Broadcom’s second-quarter EPS is $2.40 and revenue $22.13 billion; UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri says Street estimates look beatable and has a buy rating with a $490 target. Morgan Stanley projected Broadcom AI revenues for 2027 at $150–$200 billion (about $105 billion for ASIC). Analysts flag memory shortages and summer volatility in AI-linked names.
Broadcom Q2 2026 Revenue Miss Sends Stock Lower
Broadcom reported fiscal second-quarter results on June 3, 2026, that beat on adjusted EPS but missed on revenue versus LSEG consensus. Adjusted EPS was $2.44 (vs. $2.40 expected) while revenue was $22.19 billion (vs. $22.27 billion expected). Net income rose to $9.31 billion, and AI-related revenue more than doubled year-over-year to $10.8 billion. The company said it expects next-quarter revenue of about $29.4 billion, above Wall Street’s $28.53 billion forecast. Broadcom’s sales have been driven by demand for custom AI chips and related networking components, and the firm also reported infrastructure software revenue following its VMware acquisition. The stock slid in extended trading after the revenue miss despite strong AI demand and upbeat guidance.
