Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 93% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published July 2, 2026
Broadcom benefits from the growing need for AI hardware and also earns stable revenue from its big software business. Shares fell recently even though AI sales are strong, which makes valuation and market sentiment a concern. The pullback could allow a rebound in the next 0-3 months, but downward pressure, insider selling, and company debt make confidence moderate.
Primary drivers
- Ongoing demand for AI hardware supports sales
- Large software business steadies earnings
- Recent price drop makes valuation more attractive
- Wider chip-sector weakness reduces near-term certainty
How it played out
AVGO: rebound fell short of the target
Lyra published AVGO at $370.78 with an expected gain of 18%. The thesis pointed to demand for artificial intelligence hardware, steady software revenue, and a recent pullback that made the valuation more attractive. It also cited chip-sector weakness, insider selling, and debt as risks.
The price reached $432.73 on August 10, a peak gain of 16.7%, but stayed below the $437.52 target. It never got there. AVGO ended the window at $351.19 on September 30. The thesis partially played out: the rebound happened, but the expected gain was missed and the shares finished below the publication price.

On July 16, Broadcom and Standard Chartered announced a long-term private cloud agreement covering the bank's operations across 54 markets. On September 2, Broadcom reported third-quarter revenue of $29.6 billion, up 86% from the prior-year period.
