Automobile-Software Maker Pateo Connect Surged 32% In Hong Kong Debut

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?

The top leaders of China and the U.S. met in the United States, alongside reports that U.S.-Iran negotiations were seeking to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. stocks recovered part of their losses, with technology stocks leading the gains.

On September 24, Eastern Time, Meta Platforms (META) reached an intraday price of $777.89, hitting a nearly one-year high. Following the Meta Connect event, JPMorgan raised its price target on the company from $820 to $920 while maintaining an Overweight rating. The core reason is that the monetization path for Muse is becoming increasingly clear, leaving the bank more optimistic about Meta's growth potential beyond advertising.
