Broadcom shares fall over 5%, erasing roughly $110B in market value
Broadcom shares fell 5.6% in midday trading on August 14, 2026, erasing roughly $110 billion in market value, amid a broader tech selloff that removed about $320 billion from US markets in two hours. Multiple sources attribute the decline to a VMware security exploit that was reported as actively exploited, with a BofA analyst downgrade also cited.

Still no idea wtf on $AVGO. I see one minor note from Wolfe Research, but holy shit not -5% worthy.
@prana_fish
Is the $AVGO dump because of a VMWare security bug? Seems like known since 2 days ago, but another fresh report today about it being actively exploited.

BofA analyst saw that AVGO bulls tried to fill the Q2 earnings gap and hit them with a downgrade 🤣
