Broadcom reported strong quarterly earnings with significant AI chip revenue growth and raised long-term guidance, outperforming competitor Marvell Technology in the custom silicon market.
verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> long AVGO (earnings: Broadcom reported strong quarterly earnings with significant AI chip revenue growth and raised long-term guidance, outperforming competitor Marvell Technology in the custom silicon market.)
overnight drift: long AVGO at close, exit next close (earnings: Broadcom reported strong quarterly earnings with significant AI chip revenue growth and raised long-term guidance, outperforming competitor Marvell Technology in the custom silicon market.)
Signal was wrong — that's the dominant factor. The trade predicted continued upward drift after strong earnings, but AVGO never rallied (best unrealized only +0.25%) and instead sold off, closing down -3.34% on the position. Timing is partly indeterminate from this data: the stock was only +1.03% since prior close at entry, but we can't see how much of the earnings move had already occurred in prior sessions. The exit gave back nearly everything available on the downside (exited -3.34% vs. worst of -3.80%), but with a max upside of +0.25% there was essentially nothing for any exit to capture — the loss came from the direction call, not the exit mechanics.
📖 Glossary
S1 primary — trades the alert's primary ticker in the direction the article itself indicates; exits at the same day's close.
S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
S3 peer — trades an inferred peer ticker (also LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
S4 overnight — holds the primary ticker from today's close to the NEXT day's close.
Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
