U.S. stocks finished mixed as Broadcom’s post-earnings slide weighed on the tech-heavy Nasdaq, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.73% to a record close and the S&P 500 gained 0.41%; the Nasdaq slipped 0.09%. Broadcom fell roughly 12% to 16% across June 4-5 after forecasting third-quarter AI semiconductor revenue of $16 billion versus an earlier analyst average of $17.2 billion and fiscal-year AI chip sales of $56 billion versus a prior average estimate of $57.6 billion. CEO Hock Tan said AI demand provides visibility through 2028, adding to Broadcom’s previously stated plan to ship 10 gigawatts of AI chips in 2027. The broader reaction was uneven: Micron, AMD, Intel, TSMC, Arm, Arista Networks and CrowdStrike also declined in various snapshots, while Nvidia later rose nearly 2%, Alphabet gained 3.68%, and other AI-linked stocks including Tempus AI AeroVironment, Marvell and Twilio advanced. The VIX fell 4.11% by the close, indicating calmer market volatility even as investors rotated within technology and toward sectors such as healthcare and financials.
