#1AVGO — Broadcom AI Guidance Miss Triggers Historic Chip Selloff
Broadcom's Q2 FY2026 results beat on the headline — AI chip revenue surged 143% year-over-year to $10.8 billion, total revenue up 48% to $22.2 billion — but its Q3 AI revenue guidance of $16 billion landed below Wall Street's $17.2 billion estimate, and the market revolted. AVGO shed roughly 12% Thursday and kept sliding Friday, dragging the Nasdaq down 4% on June 5 and wiping an estimated $1 trillion from chip stock market caps. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) fell 10%, its worst single-session drop since March 2020.
