AI segment outperformance drives buybacks amid balance sheet strength

Broadcom reported strong growth in its artificial intelligence semiconductor segment, with AI-related revenue increasing by 221% year-over-year to $16.7 billion in the fiscal third quarter. Total revenue reached $29.6 billion for Q3, an 85.5% year-over-year rise, with the company allocating $8.45 billion to share buybacks and $10.53 billion to debt repayment during the first three quarters of fiscal 2026. Management maintains a robust balance sheet and signals ongoing support for dividends and buybacks.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Broadcom’s recent gains as lacking real momentum. He points to sustained pressure below all key moving averages and weak oscillator readings. Kharitonov is skeptical about the company’s capital allocation, noting that even robust AI revenue has failed to shift the technical picture. He observes oversold signals but questions the sustainability of any rebound, citing persistent intraday selling. "Despite attractive headline growth and buybacks, I remain cautious — sellers are still in control until confirmation of a bullish reversal appears," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Broadcom’s impressive 221% AI segment revenue growth and the company’s solid balance sheet. He views consistent buybacks and strong debt reduction as signs of financial discipline supporting future upside. Karapetjanc believes the bullish structure remains intact, given ongoing macro demand for AI. "Momentum is set for further growth — Broadcom is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging market opportunities," he states.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, focuses on the interplay of mixed momentum signals and recent price action. He spots strong buy signals on the Stochastic RSI, pairing them with oversold readings for tactical short-term setups. Turakhiya sees elevated volatility offering active traders narrow-range opportunities, especially near the $350.94 support and $359.6 resistance. "Current sentiment-driven swings present agile entry points, but a break in either direction will set the tone for the week," he notes.

Sustained seller control as mixed momentum signals limit upside

Broadcom is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $359.6, $380.58, and $369.18, respectively, highlighting persistent pressure from sellers across all timeframes. The near-term resistance is located at $359.6, with minor support at today’s high of $350.94. Longer-term trend alignment between the 50-day and 200-day moving averages remains bullish. Momentum readings remain weak: both MACD and ADX indicate a sell, the RSI at 38.47 and CCI at -93.78 show an oversold backdrop, while the Stochastic RSI signals strong buy conditions. The Bull/Bear Power is negative at -4.55, suggesting sellers continue to dominate intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator stays negative, reinforcing short-term bearish momentum. The stock gained $10.36 or 2.98% after a downside gap, trading near its session highs with intraday volatility at 1.63%. This indicates strength into current highs, even as the broader momentum picture remains negative and oscillators are mixed.

Earlier, analysts noted that despite strong underlying business growth and capital returns Broadcom faced mostly bearish short-term technical momentum. The latest analysis adds that while oscillators are mixed and downside pressure persists, a decisive move above $359.6 or below $350.94 could set the tone for Broadcom’s next directional trend.
