Broadcom Shares Fall After Earnings: Unchanged AI Chip Guidance Sparks Market Split

After Broadcom released its fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings, the company posted strong revenue and profit results, but its AI chip sales guidance and full-year AI revenue target did not materially exceed some market expectations, sending the stock sharply lower in after-hours or post-earnings trading. Three sources jointly confirm revenue of $22.19 billion and a share-price drop of about 12.6%, though they differ on the main reason for the decline; some details, such as the specific impact from the software business and the timing of long-term AI demand realization, cannot be confirmed from the provided sources.

Three sources confirm that SK Hynix has risen sharply on strong AI-related memory demand, while the market debates its valuation, tight supply in HBM/DRAM/NAND, and the durability of the memory cycle. Confirmed facts include a significant stock rally, demand driven by AI data centers, and a tight global supply of memory chips. The main differences are the way the gains are described, how long the cycle may last, and the exact definition of the “trillion-dollar club.” Whether the industry has already entered a “supercycle,” and how much further peers such as Samsung and Micron may benefit, cannot be confirmed from the provided sources beyond a trend view.
