Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) tumbled as much as 15% intraday Thursday before closing down 12.59% after in-line AI guidance failed to clear sky-high Street expectations.

For long-term holders, history says panic is the wrong instinct.

Thursday’s slide stopped just short of a level that, historically, has been a gift. Going back through Broadcom’s entire trading record, the stock has closed down more than 15% in a single session three times, and every one turned into a generational entry point on a six-to-twelve-month view.

Broadcom’s Historical Daily Crashes Were Rare Moments

The first two struck during the March 2020 COVID meltdown.

On March 16, 2020, AVGO cratered 19.91%; two sessions later, on March 18, it dropped another 15.86%.

The third came on January 27, 2025, when the DeepSeek R1 shock triggered a 17.40% wipeout across AI hardware names including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD).
