Broadcom reported strong Q3 2026 earnings and provided long-term guidance projecting AI semiconductor revenue will double to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028.
verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> long AVGO (earnings: Broadcom reported strong Q3 2026 earnings and provided long-term guidance projecting AI semiconductor revenue will double to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted long, conflict-hold — mat 85 ties incumbent S1 short AVGO, incumbent held (strictly higher materiality required to flip)] → close +0.91%
overnight drift: long AVGO at close, exit next close (earnings: Broadcom reported strong Q3 2026 earnings and provided long-term guidance projecting AI semiconductor revenue will double to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028.)
Signal: right. The predicted post-earnings drift materialized — AVGO rose ~2.5% from entry to exit. Timing: fine — the stock was slightly down (-0.65%) at decision time and entry (358.06) was only ~0.25% above prior close, so the move had not already occurred by entry. Exit: adequate but not optimal — the +2.52% realized (+$18.06) captured about 60% of the +4.07% peak unrealized, and the trade also weathered a -3.17% drawdown; the mechanical next-close exit gave back some upside but still banked most of it. The dominant factor is a correct directional signal; the gap between realized and peak P&L is a consequence of the fixed exit rule, not a mistimed entry.
📖 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 ≥ 70.
