Broadcom Q2 Earnings Miss Drags Nasdaq Futures Lower
Broadcom’s weak results triggered a 4.3% drop in South Korea’s Kospi and pulled chip and AI-linked stocks lower worldwide, traders said.
Broadcom Inc. earnings report sparked a global sell-off in technology stocks on Friday as investors rotated away from artificial intelligence-linked names into defensive sectors.
The sell-off gripped U.S. and Asian markets overnight as the downbeat report prompted a broader rotation away from high-growth technology names into safer holdings.
Samsung Electronics dropped 4.3% and Hynix fell 7.6% in South Korea's chip-heavy market, while Nokia shares finished more than 6% lower in Europe.
Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 1.73% to a record close of 51,561.93, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite underperformed during the session.
The Motley Fool maintains a positive outlook on Broadcom and other major technology firms, seeing earnings upside despite the recent market volatility.
