Shares of Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) were trading lower on Thursday after the company reported third-quarter financial results and provided an updated guidance range on Wednesday after the market closed. A market expert thinks shares could quickly recover as investors digest the results.
Gary Black on Broadcom Earnings
Broadcom spent plenty of time talking about their AI revenue during the third-quarter financial results and earnings call.
It’s the AI-related revenue that has Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black expecting shares to rebound from the immediate negative reaction.
"As the AI Rev strength becomes clearer to investors I expect the stock to recover somewhat," Black tweeted.
Black highlighted Broadcom CEO Hock Tan saying that AI chip demand is higher than what they can currently ship.
Third-quarter AI revenue of $16.7 billion was up 221% year-over-year and beat a Street consensus estimate of $15.9 billion.
Black also highlighted Broadcom’s guidance for fourth-quarter AI revenue to be $21.7 billion, which would be up 236% year-over-year. That total is above a Street consensus estimate of $21.3 billion.
For fiscal 2026, Broadcom now sees AI revenue hitting $58 billion, up from a previous guide of $56 billion. That total would be up 186% year-over-year.
The strength of the AI segment has Black excited, and is why he believes the stock drop in after-hours Wednesday was an overreaction.
Broadcom Stock Price Action
Broadcom stock is down 6.7% to $342.61 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $289.96 to $495.00. Broadcom shares are currently up 1.4% year-to-date in 2026 and trading at levels last seen in April 2026. Black expects a recovery soon, and investors may be patiently waiting to see how important the AI segment and future growth are for the company and its share price.
