Mixed sentiment as record revenues contrast with tempered outlook

Broadcom posted record Q2 revenue of $22.2 billion in June 2026 and maintained guidance for $100 billion in AI-related revenue by 2027, while issuing Q3 AI chip sales projections below investor expectations. The company and OpenAI introduced the Jalapeño, a purpose-built AI inference chip for large language models, representing the first in a planned lineup of AI compute products. Broadcom also raised the cap on its cash tender offer to $3 billion, accepted $2.9 billion in senior notes for buyback, and confirmed its next dividend payout on June 30, continuing a sixteen-year streak.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent selling pressure despite Broadcom's record Q2 revenue and prominent partnership with OpenAI. He points to the stock trading below its 20- and 50-day moving averages as a clear sign of technical weakness. The subdued MACD and RSI reinforce the view that buyers remain cautious. Kharitonov notes that AI sector news and a consistent dividend streak do little to offset short-term bearish signals. "Current momentum and weak projections make downside risk hard to ignore until price action shows real signs of reversal," he warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Broadcom's robust fundamentals and major expansion into AI hardware in partnership with OpenAI. He sees record $22.2 billion Q2 revenue and ambitious AI-related targets as evidence the bullish structure remains intact. Ongoing dividend growth and aggressive buyback activity signal stable cash flows and strong management commitment. "The AI product roadmap and rising institutional confidence suggest further growth is likely as market conditions stabilize," Karapetjanc affirms.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes divergence between bullish intraday price action and lingering bearish momentum signals. He notes that price consolidating near session highs amid oversold indicators could offer tactical opportunities if volatility remains elevated. Mehta remains on watch for a reversal above $376.14 or a tactical short if the floor at $359.43 breaks. "A contrarian entry could emerge if buyers step in at current levels and momentum starts to shift back up," he suggests.

Bearish momentum persists despite price divergence at session highs

Broadcom is trading below both its 20-day ($403.51) and 50-day ($411.81) moving averages, yet remains above the 200-day ($361.27), reflecting persistent short- and medium-term selling pressure but ongoing long-term support. The nearest ceiling stands at $376.14 and the closest floor at $364, with the bullish MA-50 versus MA-200 positioning confirming long-term upward trend structure. Momentum signals are notably weak as the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both flag a selling environment and neutral trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 39.79 and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at -93.51 indicate the stock is approaching oversold territory, while the Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) both reinforce oversold conditions and seller dominance intraday. The Awesome Oscillator is negative, echoing the prevailing trend of downside pressure. On the day, AVGO is up $8.28 or 2.27%, having opened with an upside gap of about $9.12 (2.5%) and is trading near its session high, with daily volatility at 4.30%. This strength toward intraday highs contrasts with bearish momentum indicators, highlighting a clear divergence between price action and technical signals.

Previously it was reported that Broadcom’s entry into custom AI hardware, alongside mixed technical signals, set a cautiously optimistic outlook anchored by long-term support. The latest developments underscore this resilience but highlight rising downside risk, making a break below $359.43 the pivotal level traders should monitor for signs of further weakness.
