On July 24, Broadcom fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $382.315/share, with turnover of $656 million. The semiconductor sector faced broad-based selling pressure, with memory and logic chip stocks declining sharply across the board.

On the news front, ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran have driven oil prices higher, with Brent crude approaching $95/barrel, reigniting inflation concerns. Hawkish Federal Reserve expectations have pushed Treasury yields to new highs, creating significant headwinds for high-valuation growth stocks in the semiconductor space. Within the sector, SK hynix fell 6.68%, Micron Technology dropped 5.58%, Intel declined 3.33%, AMD slid 2.78%, and NVIDIA edged down 0.88%, reflecting widespread risk-off sentiment across the chip industry.

Despite multiple recent analyst upgrades — including Arete raising its target to $530 and BNP Paribas lifting its target to $675 — the broader macro environment has overwhelmed stock-specific positive catalysts, as investors reduce exposure to high-beta semiconductor names amid rising rates and geopolitical uncertainty.
