Broadcom shares pulled back despite the company posting record first‑quarter revenue fueled by surging demand for AI chips and services. Investors appeared to take profits after a strong run‑up, even as management projected AI sales rising further in the next quarter and overall revenue nearing $22 billion.
The board also approved a hefty $10 billion share buyback and maintained a $0.65 quarterly dividend, signaling confidence in future cash flows. Most analysts kept their Buy ratings intact, with price targets clustered around $450, suggesting they still see upside from current levels.
Broadcom further reassured the market by forecasting stable profit margins and highlighting a major OpenAI deployment exceeding 1 gigawatt of capacity expected in 2027. The long‑term AI pipeline remains a key bullish argument even as the stock faces short‑term selling pressure.
