$Broadcom(AVGO)$ Broadcom Beats, But AI Slows β Is It Still Worth Chasing AVGO at These Levels?
π Earnings Recap
Broadcom ($AVGO$) posted another stellar quarter: EPS up 40%, revenue at record highs, and strong guidance ahead. But the spotlight is on AI β growth in AI chip revenue slowed to +46% YoY, compared to 77% in the previous quarter. Markets noticed, and the stock dipped ~4% in after-hours despite hitting fresh ATHs earlier.
π What This Means
The quarter was good β just not perfect. AI tailwinds are real, but normalising. Guidance of $5.1B for AI chip revenue is solid, though ~3.7% below some bullish estimates. The key here is that Broadcom remains a cash-generating machine, diversified across data center, networking, and software (VMware integration incoming).
π My Strategy
I locked in partial profits above $278 after the run-up.
Watching closely for pullbacks to the $250β260 zone to reload.
Not chasing this high β but definitely not bearish.
π Bullish scenario: if it holds $265 on volume, the stock could base and push toward $300+ in Q3, especially if VMware synergies impress.
π Bearish scenario: a break below $250 could invite more downside as AI multiple compression spreads.
π― Fair value zone (for re-entry): $245β255 based on 2025 forward PE and earnings CAGR expectations.
