Broadcom Revenue Forecast Disappoints Some Investors, Highlights AI Concerns
March 5 — Broadcom Inc. (AVGO.O) disappointed investors with its second-quarter revenue guidance, signaling its AI computing progress has fallen short of some prior expectations.
The chipmaker projects second-quarter revenue (ended May 3) at approximately $22 billion. By contrast, analysts’ average prior forecast stood at $20.5 billion, with some estimates topping $22 billion. Its shares showed little movement in after-hours trading, a muted reaction to the update.
As of Wednesday’s close, Broadcom’s stock has declined 8.3% in 2026. The lukewarm response underscores the high barriers AI firms face this year. Investors are growing wary of an AI investment bubble — even last month’s blockbuster earnings from Nvidia triggered a stock drop. (Jinse)

He wrote: “The real reason the U.S. Department of Defense and the Trump administration dislike us is that we haven’t donated to Trump (whereas OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman has given heavily).” He’s likely referencing the $25 million donation Greg Brockman and his wife made to Trump’s super PAC.
Amodei also noted: “We haven’t praised Trump in a dictatorial manner (as OpenAI founder Sam Altman has); we support AI regulation, which conflicts with their agenda; we’ve spoken truthfully on various AI policy issues (like job displacement); and we’ve stuck to our principles and acted with integrity, rather than colluding with them to stage ‘security theater’ to appease employees — I assure you, this is exactly the issue the DoD, Palantir (Anth
