On September 16, Broadcom (AVGO) hit a recent intraday low of $335.80, pulling back 32% from its all-time high of $494.20 and almost entirely erasing its year-to-date gains. Yet just a few months ago, Broadcom was hailed by the market as the most certain winner in AI computing power; now, it has become a poster child for unfulfilled expectations. The root of this shift traces back to its Q2 FY2026 financial report released on June 3. While AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion—up 143% year-over-year—and Q3 guidance projected over 200% year-over-year growth, management merely reiterated its target of "exceeding $100 billion in AI chip revenue by FY2027" as unchanged, declining to raise it. Market expectations, already priced at a P/E ratio of around 90x, lost the fuel to expand further, sending the stock price into a continuous decline. As the share price dropped, its valuation also underwent a reset. Could this now mark a turning point for the stock?
