The move underscores the high bar that companies tied to AI are now facing: The semiconductor and software maker logged strong quarterly revenue—fueled by demand for its AI chips—but left its 2027 outlook unchanged, sticking with guidance for AI semiconductor revenue of more than $100 billion.

High-flying tech stocks were struggling on Thursday after Broadcom's so-so revenue guidance failed to impress investors. Futures tracking the Nasdaq 100 were 1.1% lower as the tech-heavy index lagged behind both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.
