Broadcom Inc. stock rose in Tuesday’s premarket session, extending gains after rebounding 2.8% on Monday as investors reassessed last week’s post-earnings selloff and focused on the company’s long-term artificial intelligence growth prospects. The stock was up 0.96% at $400.40 during premarket trading on Tuesday. The recovery follows a 7.92% decline on Friday, triggered when management maintained, rather than increased, its forecast for more than $100 billion in AI semiconductor revenue by fiscal 2027.
Analysts See AI Demand Outpacing Supply
Analysts at Futurum Research said on Monday that Broadcom’s fiscal second-quarter results reinforced the view that artificial intelligence demand is increasingly driving growth across the company. The firm highlighted AI semiconductor bookings of more than $30 billion against $10.8 billion in shipments, indicating demand continues to outpace near-term supply. Futurum noted that Broadcom’s AI networking business remains a key growth driver, though networking revenue is expected to normalize to about 30% of total AI revenue over time. Analysts also pointed to VMware as a stabilizing asset, benefiting from enterprise server expansion and private cloud deployments.
Technical Indicators and Trends
Broadcom is testing a key support level near its 50-day simple moving average of $400.15. The stock remains comfortably above its 100-day moving average of $364.14 and its 200-day moving average of $356.32, suggesting the longer-term uptrend is still intact. However, shares are trading about 6.2% below the 20-day moving average of $427.35, indicating momentum has cooled since the June peak. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) remains below its signal line, a sign that buying momentum has weakened. Resistance is near $429.50, while support is around $324.50.
