• Negative Sentiment: The main pressure remains Broadcom’s fourth-quarter revenue outlook of $34.8 billion, slightly below Wall Street’s roughly $35.0 billion expectation. The modest guidance miss, concerns about margin compression and customer concentration—including major AI customers—caused the initial sell-the-news reaction despite excellent AI growth.
