Shares of tech giant Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) were in a free fall on Thursday after the company posted its latest earnings numbers. The stock was down around 16% at one point in the morning.
What may seem puzzling is that the company, which has been experiencing a surge in demand due to artificial intelligence (AI), generated strong earnings, and its growth looked terrific in its most recent quarter. However, this sell-off serves as a cautionary tale for AI investors who believe that stocks will just continue rising higher and that valuations don't matter.
