Broadcom upgraded to Hold after 26% drop, with growth offsetting margin pressure from AI chip competition

Broadcom Inc. was downgraded to Sell last quarter due to expected margin and share pressure from hyperscalers diversifying AI chip suppliers. However, despite confirming margin declines, accelerating revenue growth is helping improve operating margins. The stock has fallen 26% since June, pricing in much of the negative outlook, prompting an upgrade to Hold. While near-term downside appears limited, there is not yet enough evidence Broadcom will outperform the market benchmark.
