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.
