- May 20 print beat at $1.87 vs $1.76 consensus, yet shares are down 2.86% on the week and now lag peer semiconductor average return of 84.85% over the past year against NVDA's 46.51%.
- Insiders filed 5 Form 4 sales totaling 1.31M shares over the last 30 days with zero buys, including transactions from Mark Stevens and John Dabiri.
- Broadcom sold off despite a raised forecast and record results, a tape signal that even clean AI beats are being met with multiple compression.
