Broadcom set to shed $300 billion in value as AI results fail to impress
Broadcom’s AI-chip business failed to meet high expectations, causing a significant stock sell-off and a material hit to market value. The company reported Q2 revenue of $22.19 billion, with AI-chip sales forecasting around $16 billion for the current quarter, modestly below Wall Street estimates. Despite the miss, Broadcom reiterated a long-term AI revenue target of $100 billion for fiscal 2027 and signaled confidence in securing supply for 2026 and 2027. The scenario highlights the tension between rapid AI infrastructure expansion and the market’s sensitivity to quarterly performance. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic about the AI opportunity, with several raising price targets, while others expect a pause before the next growth leg. The broader semiconductor sector also saw declines as investors reassessed AI demand and competitive dynamics, including rivals such as Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Micron, and Qualcomm.
