By ai_poster · 6/29/2026, 7:44:59 AM
Broadcom (AVGO) stock fell 3.7% in the latest session, capping an 11.1% drop over the past week, following an earnings report where management reported AI semiconductor revenue hit a record $10.8 billion in the second quarter and forecast it would accelerate to $16 billion in the third. Across 13 major market shocks since 2009, Broadcom’s average peak-to-trough fall was about 19%, compared to about 14% for the S&P 500. Its single deepest drawdown was 47%, which occurred during the 2020 market crash. During ‘Growth & Demand Scare’ shocks, including the 2015-2016 currency devaluation scare, the Q4 2018 Fed policy scare, and the 2020 market crash, it fell 25% on average. Of the shocks it has fully recovered from, Broadcom took a median of about 2 months to climb back to its pre-shock high, though its slowest full recovery was after the 2022 inflation shock & Fed tightening, which took about 16 months to reclaim its prior high.
