Trade tariffs hitting the chip space. Broadcom (AVG) is down 7% to a four month lower after reporting earnings. Broadcom beat estimates, but lowered guidance for the full year sighting reduced visibility impacting demand due to the US China trade conflict and the ban on business with the Chinese firm, Huawei. Broadcom now expects second half of the year sales to be more in line with the first half. In other words, no recovery in chip demand for now. Four analyst downgrades and one upgrade for Broadcom. The analyst that upgraded the stock may have read the earnings report wrong.
