Broadcom Can't Stop Falling. Overreaction or AI Stock Warning Sign?
"However, following the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, its shares have declined sharply. The day after it hit its peak - which beat expectations on revenue and earnings per share - the stock fell more than 11% in a single session over concerns about gross margin pressure from a higher mix of AI revenue. Additional declines followed, with shares dropping another 5.6% yesterday, resulting in a cumulative drop of more than 17% over three trading days."
"Broadcom's ascent in 2025 stemmed primarily from explosive growth in its AI semiconductor business. Fiscal fourth-quarter AI revenue hit $6.5 billion, up 74% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand for custom AI processors and networking solutions from hyperscalers such as Google, Meta Platforms ( NASDAQ:META ), Anthropic, and OpenAI. The chipmaker secured major contracts, including partnerships for custom chips, that contributed to overall revenue growth of 28% in the quarter."
