What happened

Broadcom sits roughly 50% below its average Wall Street price target while the AI infrastructure build-out continues to accelerate.

Why it matters

At roughly $370, the stock is well below the consensus target (per analysts) in the low-to-mid $500s (strong buy rating across the Street).

Common ground

I believe this is one of the cleaner dislocations in the semiconductor complex right now.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
