Earnings Corner 📜
Broadcom (AVGO) $AVGO ( ▲ 1.83% ) Beat on revenue and EPS, with guidance in line. Revenue rose 20% y/y and EPS came in at $1.58. Growth was driven by $4.42B in AI chip sales and $6.62B in software revenue, up 25% y/y mainly from VMware. Management flagged continued demand from three major hyperscalers as AI spend ramps.
Lululemon (LULU) $LULU ( ▲ 0.05% ) Beat on revenue and EPS, but cut full-year guidance. Sales rose from $2.21B to $2.37B and EPS hit $2.60, but U.S. comps declined and Q2 earnings were guided below Street. Tariffs are pressuring margins, and Vuori is gaining further traction in Lululemon’s largest market.
