Overview
- Broadcom posted record fiscal Q2 results, reporting about $22.2 billion in revenue and $10.8 billion in AI semiconductor sales, but the shares plunged roughly 12–14% in after‑hours trading following the report on June 3.
- The company guided Q3 AI semiconductor revenue to about $16.0 billion and total Q3 revenue to roughly $29.4 billion while reiterating its long‑term goal of more than $100 billion in AI chip revenue.
- Management said growth is driven by custom AI ASICs and AI networking that lower per‑chip gross margins but create strong hyperscaler lock‑in, and Broadcom disclosed over $30 billion in multi‑year AI bookings and customer agreements.
- The market reaction reflected more than guidance alone because a stronger May jobs report, rising Treasury yields, and institutional rotation into large IPOs increased selling pressure on richly valued AI and chip names.
- Analysts are divided on the move with some raising targets and calling the sell‑off a buying opportunity while others warn of near‑term repricing; the stock showed modest stabilization into the following trading week.
