Leads

AVGO doesn't lead on any tracked row.

Trails

  • Lowest Dividend yield1.30%in Semiconductors vs 1 peer

Fundamental rows (P/E, margins, growth) rank AVGO against same-sector peers that disclose the metric — a high P/E means different things in different sectors, so the comparison stays within one. Sectors with only one ticker in coverage fall back to the full catalog so the chip isn't silently dropped. Market cap and today's move stay coverage-wide — those are positional summaries, not quality reads. Direction (higher- or lower-is-better) is editorial; rows we don't have a confident direction on are skipped. Structural ranking, not individualised investment advice.

What changed on the call

How management's posture shifted from FY26-Q1 to FY26-Q2

Guidance
maintainedraised FY rev guide

This quarter · FY26-Q2

Called 2026-06-05

AI-related semiconductor revenue called the standout, with custom accelerator (XPU) bookings cited as the largest forward driver. VMware integration progress framed as ahead of plan on the cost side. Networking revenue tied tightly to AI fabric deployments at named hyperscalers.

  • AI semiconductor revenue grew triple-digits; custom accelerator pipeline framed as multi-year.
  • VMware cost synergies ahead of plan; management raised the synergy target on the call.
  • Networking revenue tied to AI fabric build-outs; management called out three hyperscaler customers by tier.
  • Non-AI semiconductor revenue described as bottoming; broadband and wireless still soft but stabilising.

Prior · FY26-Q1

Called 2026-03-06

AI revenue grew strongly but at the lower end of internal expectations; non-AI semiconductor segments still in correction. VMware integration on track with the deal model. Management's tone on the broader cyclical semi market was cautious.

  • AI semiconductor revenue strong but at the lower bound of internal expectations.
  • VMware integration tracking the deal model; cost synergies on plan, not ahead.
  • Non-AI semi segments — broadband, wireless, server storage — still in correction.
  • Management characterised the broader semi cycle as not yet inflecting.

& borrow

Crowded short setup on AVGO — squeeze risk in both directions

Crowded short

on the borrow

Short interest is 20.9% of float with 78% utilization and rising borrow cost — the kind of crowded-short profile that historically reads as elevated volatility around AVGO. Cuts both ways: a rally forces covering, a fundamental miss feeds the thesis.

AVGO’s latest 10-K reads 15.3% different from the prior comparable filing (0001730168-24-000139) — edits concentrated in Item 7 MD&A, Item 1A Risk Factors. The research finds material rewrites of risk-factor and MD&A language historically predict underperformance, on the read that management quietly tweaks the wording before the market reprices.

The regulatory pressure adds uncertainty to AVGO's European infrastructure software segment even as its AI semiconductor business continues to expand.
