Broadcom's Q2 results for FY 2026, released after Wall Street's close on Wednesday, revealed semiconductor revenue of $16 billion, slightly below analyst expectations of $16.36 billion. Despite maintaining a long-term target of $100 billion in AI-related revenue by 2027, the company's stock plummeted nearly 15%, erasing about $300 billion in market capitalization. This decline affected the wider semiconductor sector, with companies like Marvell, Arm, and Micron also experiencing significant drops.
