Big Money Selloff of Broadcom Could Be Long-Term Opportunity

But like many other stocks, AVGO has gone through a bad period of forced selling recently. Each red bar in the chart below signals unusually large volumes in AVGO shares. They reflect our proprietary Big Money outflow signal, pushing the stock lower:

It’s no wonder AVGO shares are down 26% this year. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are shedding this quality name.

Broadcom Shares Down, Time to Buy?

When best-of-breed stocks are sold hard, history shows it’s often a buying opportunity for long-term investors. Institutional volumes reveal plenty. Each red bar below signals unusually large outflow volumes in AVGO shares:

Look at the stretch in 2022 – red bars for nearly a year. Capitulation was in full effect and share values fell. But those who bought during that time have profited handsomely since, even with the latest dips.

See, despite the near-term volatility, there’s a powerful fundamental story happening with Broadcom.

It’s made the rare Top 20 report multiple times in the last decade. The blue bars below show when AVGO was a top pick…sending shares up:

There weren’t many Top 20 signals during 2022. But look at the Big Money buys that followed. Share values flew higher, and those brave enough to buy when the stock was down were rewarded.

Tracking unusual volumes reveals the power of money flows.

This is a trait that most outlier stocks exhibit…the best of the best. Big Money demand drives stocks upward.

Broadcom Price Prediction

Given the fundamentals, it wouldn’t surprise to see the stock rise once again with Big Money support. Great companies don’t stay down forever.

Big Money selling in the shares is signaling to take notice. Given the historical gains, strong fundamentals, and recent big selling, this stock could be worth a spot in a diversified portfolio.
