Retail investors focused on Broadcom, Lululemon Athletica, Dell Technologies, Snowflake and Alphabet on X and Reddit's r/WallStreetBets during the week of Aug. 31 to Sept. 4, as earnings, AI infrastructure demand and corporate news drove discussion. Broadcom reported third-quarter revenue of $29.6 billion, up 86% year over year, including $16.7 billion in AI semiconductor revenue, up 221% and described in related coverage as roughly three times its earlier level. CEO Hock Tan said Broadcom expects to ship about $115 billion of AI semiconductors to six key hyperscaler customers, including Meta and Google, in fiscal 2027 and another $230 billion in fiscal 2028. Dell reported record fiscal second-quarter revenue of about $47 billion, Snowflake raised its full-year product-revenue forecast to $6.07 billion, and Alphabet benefited after a federal judge rejected the U.S. Justice Department's attempt to force Google to sell its AdX advertising exchange. In a related update, Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $12.2 billion, up 34%, raised its fiscal 2026 revenue-growth forecast to 34%-37% and reported $1.6 billion of AI Systems revenue against $2.4 billion of new orders, although high-bandwidth memory and DDR5 shortages were delaying revenue conversion.
