And What If The Support Breaks?
Broadcom isn’t immune to big drops either. It lost nearly 27% in the 2018 correction, almost 48% during the Covid pandemic, and about 35% in the inflation shock. Those aren’t small dips. Even with strong fundamentals and growth, sharp sell-offs hit hard. Remember, solid companies can still take a major hit when the market turns south.
But the risk is not limited to major market crashes. Stocks fall even when markets are in good shape – think events like earnings, business updates, outlook changes. Read AVGO Dip Buyer Analyses to see how the stock has recovered from sharp dips in the past.
