what happened
According to Stocktwits, Broadcom (AVGO) stock erased its overnight decline and rose 0.3% late Monday. For the full session the shares gained almost 2%, closing at $334.59 and ending a run of three daily declines.
The chipmaker extended its 2019 arrangement with Japanese telecom operator NTT Docomo into a ten-year agreement. It covers VMware software licenses, technical assistance and maintenance, and financial terms were not disclosed. The private cloud behind Docomo's digital services will be the core of the setup, and the partners plan to expand AI-driven operations and prepare for 6G and IOWN.
why it matters
Meanwhile, CEO Hock Tan told a Singapore panel that many investors have no clear idea what they are backing in AI and behave as if they are gambling in a casino. Stocktwits data shows retail sentiment on AVGO fell to 24 out of 100, the 'extremely bearish' zone and the lowest level in nearly 18 months. The stock is down about 3% year to date. The contract did little to ease concerns about inflated expectations for AI-linked shares.
