Big News for Broadcom and Nvidia Stock!

85.2% growth is indeed fierce, but a 74.1% gross margin supporting the valuation premium isn't something growth alone can sustain. Look at the AI chip track—funding rounds like Etched's show competitors are all pouring money into grabbing market share. It's hard to say how long that gross margin can last. The growth is impressive, but what you're buying now is the story for the next three years, not this quarter.

I'll just say this—this pullback is actually an opportunity. When PE gets compressed to 30.7x, market sentiment is all about selling, but have you looked at the earnings? Q2 revenue $46 billion, actual EPS $1.05 vs analyst estimate of $1.01—that's a solid beat. SpaceX joins the Nasdaq-100 on July 7, with $4.3 billion in passive funds waiting to buy—that news hasn't been fully digested yet. Gross margin at 75.1% shows the moat hasn't weakened, and revenue growth of 55.6% is top-tier in any industry. Fed rate cut expectations are rising, and the interest rate environment is marginally easing—that's a positive for tech valuations, not a negative. Once this wave of sentiment selling is over, the passive buying from index funds due to SpaceX's inclusion will kick in, and there will be plenty of support. I'm not blindly bullish, but with earnings backing, catalysts waiting, and the medium-to-long-term thesis intact, I choose to be on the buy side.

Down 10.7% and people are already itching to buy the dip, thinking it's an opportunity. But look closely—it's still 15.4% off its 52-week high, meaning the rally has clearly broken down. The biggest trap with high-flying stocks is this: they look cheap after a drop, but you have no idea where the bottom is. A company of Broadcom's size dropping nearly 11% in a month—either positions are loosening or expectations are quietly being revised. I don't deny its strength, but strength is strength, and price level is price level. Jumping in now for a bounce has mediocre risk-reward. Rather than guessing the bottom, I'll wait for the market to stabilize.

A $484.6 billion market cap with a 30.7x PE—a company of this size needs sustained high growth to support its valuation. Once growth slows or misses expectations, the valuation will get crushed hard. I don't think now is a good entry point.

Some people are using RSI to argue that a high RSI means a drop. RSI is only 45, neutral territory, far from overbought—basing a bearish call on that is weak. The stock is 2.7% below the 20-day MA, which sounds weak, but from another angle, this is exactly the window for institutions to accumulate—if they wanted to dump, they would have already smashed it down. The fact that it's holding means buying support is coming in. The MAs are converging between 205 and 210, with high concentration of shares, so an upward breakout with volume would have more momentum. At this level, it's more about building up steam than topping out. Once news catalysts align, the MAs break, and RSI moves up from neutral, the trend will be set.

When moving averages are close together, it's often when the market is most conflicted. The 20-day and 50-day MAs are just a few dollars apart, with the stock price sitting below both—not strong, not weak. This is the kind of position that can easily get whipsawed. Retail investors see the MAs as support and feel safe, but institutions aren't making a move yet; otherwise, volume would have pushed it higher. Investopedia says NVDA earnings beat expectations, but the stock is still below the MAs, meaning the market isn't buying it. This converging MA structure either leads to a big directional move or grinds until retail loses patience. I'm not entering now; I'll wait for a clear direction.

A PE of 30.7x shows the market has already priced in all the good news. Now it's down 10.7% in a month, and Motley Fool is still hyping major news. If retail investors rush in impulsively, they're basically taking the bait for institutions. News catalysts like this are already reflected in the price by the time you see them. I'm definitely not jumping in at this point.

Honestly, I'm more focused on the gross margin figure. A 74.1% gross margin in the high-end AI chip manufacturing space means this company has real moats—either technological barriers or ecosystem lock-in that competitors can't overcome in the short term. Maintaining high margins shows the moat isn't deteriorating. And with revenue growth of 85.2%, the growth rate is still high, indicating market demand isn't shrinking but accelerating. Stable gross margins plus sustained growth—that combination isn't a coincidence; it means fundamentals are truly supporting this valuation. As for short-term price movements, I won't guess, but a company with both a moat and growth momentum—a pullback is an opportunity for those who missed the boat. I'm on the bullish side.

A 63% net margin sounds impressive, but I think that's precisely the problem. Revenue growth of 85% is already strong, but sustaining a 63% net margin means the earlier gravy train is fading—high-margin eras never last forever. Think about it: how competitive is the AI chip space now? Etched just raised $800 million, showing capital is pouring in from all sides, competition only intensifying. As rivals flood in, price wars are inevitable, and that 63% net margin becomes a sword hanging overhead. Earnings quality—basically, whether a company's profits come easily or with hard work—is at stake. A 63% margin means past pricing power is eroding. Once the competitive landscape deteriorates, profit contraction will far outpace revenue decline. Broadcom and Nvidia may look glamorous, but they're walking a tightrope.

Here's an interesting angle: RSI is only 46, nowhere near overbought, and the stock is just 15.7% off its 52-week high. Normally, overbought stocks have RSI above 70—calling this overbought is nonsense. If it can break out on volume and push back near the 52-week high, the trend is truly confirmed because there's no overhead supply—everything is below the 52-week high, all fresh bullish territory. Nvidia beat earnings again, fundamentals are rising, and technically it's not overbought. These two factors together make me bullish. Not because it's fallen a lot, but because it hasn't run enough—RSI is still in neutral territory, so the upside potential far outweighs the downside risk.
