Broadcom Inc. shares have dropped 28% from their June 2026 highs due to concerns over lack of upward guidance, competitive threats, and risks from off-balance sheet financing. The company's AI semiconductor segment now accounts for over half of its revenue, with management projecting $56 billion in sales for FY26 and over $100 billion in FY27. However, financing risks linked to special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and potential defaults by lessees like Anthropic have raised alarm, as indicated by rising credit default swaps. Despite strong growth and reasonable valuation, heavy insider selling and structural risks lead analysts to recommend avoiding Broadcom shares for now.
