Overview
- Broadcom shares fell about 2.6% intraday in the latest session, a steeper drop than major indexes, with trading influenced by AI bubble concerns and a consumer confidence reading from the University of Michigan.
- Despite the dip, the stock remains sharply higher for the year, with recent reports citing roughly 48% to about 60% year-to-date gains depending on data timing.
- Since 2023, Broadcom’s rally has exceeded 550% by some accounts, and coverage pegs its market value at roughly $1.7 trillion.
- The company’s AI pipeline includes an announced custom-chip collaboration with OpenAI targeting roughly 10 gigawatts of accelerators, with Wall Street expecting initial deployments to begin in late 2026 and ramp through 2029.
- Valuation has become a focal risk as the shares trade near 90 times trailing earnings, even as Broadcom books large AI-related orders and deepens ties with hyperscale customers.
