Broadcom Bombs?

"Broadcom Suffers Worst Stock Drop Since 2020 on Slow Chip Sales" - Bloomberg
"Tech Slides as Broadcom Adds to AI Disillusionment" - DJ
"Broadcom sees dip in quarterly margins due to AI" - Reuters

Shares of Broadcom ( AVGO) are having a rough go this morning after the company reported earnings after the close yesterday.

Despite reporting better-than-expected EPS and sales, as well as raising guidance, the stock is down around 9% this morning as management comments concerning margins and backlog spooked investors.

Several analysts have said the comments were misinterpreted, but the stock's reaction this morning tells another story.

Based on where the stock is trading this morning, today would be just the 7th time since at least 2009 that the stock declined more than 5% on an earnings reaction day, and if it stays at current levels through the close, it would go down as its second-worst earnings reaction day on record.

What's interesting to note about the performance above, however, is that heading into today, the stock's two worst earnings reaction days were in 2024.

Despite those two clunker earnings reports, heading into today, AVGO has rallied over 275% since the start of 2024, making it the seventh-best-performing stock in the S&P 500!

Getting back to those headlines at the top, two were written in reaction to AVGO earnings reports, but not yesterday's.

Only the Reuters headline was in reference to the most recent report, but the Dow Jones headline was written in response to its September 2024 report, while the Bloomberg headline pertained to its March 2004 report.

In both cases, there was widespread concern over AVGO's results, but the declines are barely visible on the chart!
