In Broadcom Inc.'s own words

“Demand for our custom AI accelerators and networking continues to be very strong. Q3 AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion grew 221% year-over-year, and 54% quarter-over-quarter”

— Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc · SEC filing

From the company's earnings release filed with the SEC on 2026-09-02 (Form 8-K).

What would change the picture for AVGO

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Dec. 9, 2026 earnings report (46 days away). Broadcom Inc. beat estimates in 2 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise +0.5%); a miss would break that pattern.
• An open-market purchase by an insider at Broadcom Inc.. There has been none in 90 days; Form 4 filings would show one within two business days of the trade.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.23 to 4.21 over three months (on a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $479.91 would be a new 52-week high, 49.2% above the latest close of $321.68; a close below $292.4 would be a new 52-week low, 9.1% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 48.7% year over year in the quarter ending Aug 2026 (trend: accelerating). At a P/E of 41.0, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• New shares: dilution risk is low now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How AVGO compares with its peers

Over the past month AVGO ranks 3 of 6 in this group (-8.2%); the best was NVDA (-6.1%) and the weakest INTC (-31.7%).

AVGO's P/E of 41.0 is above the peers' median of 23.4, so investors pay more for each dollar of its profit, usually for faster expected growth.

A dash in the P/E column means the company lost money over the last 12 months, so it has no P/E.

AVGO history: what happened after similar moves

Since 2023, AVGO fell 8.2% or more in a month 12 times (separate episodes, not counting the current one). Three months later it was higher in 8 of 11 cases; the median change was +30.6%.

Past moves don't predict the next one; they show how volatile the stock has been.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio

Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.

When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.

Form 8-K

The SEC form for material events between quarterly reports: earnings releases, deals, executive changes, stock offerings and similar news.
