Record revenues and buyback as AI sales fuel optimism

Broadcom reported record first quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $19.311 billion, a 29% increase year-over-year, driven by strong growth in artificial intelligence semiconductor sales reaching $8.4 billion. The company generated $8.01 billion in free cash flow and retained a 68% adjusted EBITDA margin. Broadcom’s board approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program and declared a $0.65 per share quarterly dividend, while issuing guidance for Q2 revenue of approximately $22.0 billion and forecasting continued robust AI demand.

Oscillator divergence intensifies as intraday action defies weak momentum

Momentum signals are mixed, with Daily MACD showing a negative reading and a Sell bias, suggesting lingering downside forces, but ADX remains neutral, pointing to weak trend strength. The Relative Strength Index is in modestly bearish territory, while the Stochastic RSI indicates a Strong Buy and the Commodity Channel Index is bearish — creating notable divergence among oscillators. Bull/Bear Power points to a strongly oversold condition and seller dominance, yet today’s action was bullish, with a sizable gap up at the open, a current price near the session high, high intraday volatility, and pronounced strength toward the top end of the range; momentum indicators conflict with short-term price action.

Consolidation favored as weak indicator alignment caps upside prospects

For the next five trading days, AVGO is expected to trade within a $315.00 to $340.00 volatility band relative to current levels. Given that only one of the four key indicators on the weekly chart is in buy territory, the probability of a sustained upward move is low (less than 20%), making a decline more likely. The baseline scenario sees AVGO consolidating sideways within this range. In a bullish scenario, closing above $334.00–$335.00 could trigger renewed buying toward $340.00, while a drop below $323.80 would open the path to test support at $315.00.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Broadcom’s technical picture as mixed and momentum signals as conflicting. Despite impressive AI-related revenue growth, sellers still control the medium-term trend while oscillators diverge and volatility remains high. He remains cautious, expecting sideways consolidation and low odds for a decisive bullish breakout. "Base case remains a range between $315.00 and $340.00, and unless $335.00 is broken on strong volume, I see little reason to chase upside."

Previously it was reported that Broadcom shares are trading well below their key short- and medium-term moving averages and just under long-term support, with daily momentum indicators such as MACD and RSI confirming persistent bearish pressure, and oversold signals pointing to heightened volatility. Immediate resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun on the daily chart, while the probability of a rebound remains low as sellers maintain control within a tight consolidation range.
