    Broadcom slides 4.37% to $329.28 despite 95.9% quarterly EPS growth forecast

    Question

    Broadcom slides 4.37% to $329.28 despite 95.9% quarterly EPS growth forecast

    Direct answer

    Broadcom fell 4.37% to $329.28 on October 16, 2026, significantly trailing the broader market where the S&P 500 closed down 1.09%. The selloff extends AVGO trailing one-month underperformance relative to the broader semiconductor sector. The decline comes even as consensus estimates anticipate 95.9% year-over-year EPS expansion and 93.55% quarterly revenue growth. The divergence underscores growing valuation friction across custom AI silicon and networking suppliers as 10-year Treasury yields stand at 5.3%.
