Broadcom's Results, 4Q Guide Missed Nvidia's High Sector Bar -- Market Talk

Broadcom is likely trading down after its fourth-quarter outlook implied earnings per share that missed Street consensus, especially given Nvidia's recent blowout quarter, StoneX analyst Cody Acree writes in a note. Nvidia's results and guidance "reset the sector bar much higher last week," Acree says. "Broadcom's recent relative underperformance reduced the hurdle, but the quarter still arrived in a market that is penalizing anything short of a step-function surprise." He adds that despite Broadcom's impressive long-term guidance for AI revenue, investors may be waiting for more signs of execution before putting their full faith in the forecast. Broadcom is down 4.2%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
