- Broadcom' shares fell 12.6% after its earnings report missed expectations, despite a year‑over‑year revenue surge in its AI semiconductor business.
- S&P 500 rose 0.4% to close at 7,584.82 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high of 51,562.30 points.
- Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew a ceasefire contingent on Hezbollah’s cessation of fire, prompting Brent crude futures to drop 2.7% to $95.21 and WTI to fall 3.1% to $93.07.
- Quantinuum debuted on the Nasdaq at $68 per share, above its $60 IPO price, ending the day up 0.6%.
- Micron Technology was among the top percentage losers on the Nasdaq after Broadcom’s earnings decline, alongside Arm, AMD and Qualcomm.
- Jake Dollarhide warned that the market may be experiencing “AI‑fatigue” after a series of large, rapid gains in AI‑related stocks.
Why it matters: Investors in AI‑related chips suffered a sharp pull‑back as Broadcom’s guidance fell short, dragging down peers such as Micron, Arm, AMD and Qualcomm, while defensive and energy stocks gained from the ceasefire‑driven oil price dip, and the Dow’s record close highlighted the market’s resilience despite sector volatility.
