Overview
- In mid‑August Broadcom reported strong Q2 results with $22.19 billion in revenue, $10.8 billion in AI semiconductor sales, and roughly $30 billion in quarterly AI bookings.
- Shares slid about 13–15% after headlines including an expanded Google–Marvell partnership, a VMware security issue, and a Bank of America downgrade drove near‑term selling pressure.
- Several analysts argue the selloff is an overreaction and highlight attractive valuation and upside scenarios with published 12‑month targets near $403 and bull cases above $530.
- Noted risks to the bullish thesis include heavy revenue concentration among a few hyperscalers, potential gross‑margin pressure (analysts cite a possible dip to about 74%), increased competition, and insider selling.
- Broadcom’s management remains committed to aggressive AI targets, including a goal to exceed $100 billion in AI sales by fiscal 2027, and upcoming quarterly updates will be watched as a test of execution and customer demand.
