What Happened: Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, has bought Broadcom shares, said Cramer in a post on X on Monday. More than the disclosure about Link's Broadcom buy, what caught the attention of social media users was Cramer's comment about his disposition toward the stock. Broadcom, he said, is "a stock I like very much...."
Some social media users poked fun at Cramer by reminding him about the negative psychology he has on stocks. "It's up $30 (21%) or so in 5 days after a dip and it's near all-time highs, then Jim endorses it...," one of his followers said.
Broadcom Living Up To Hype? Broadcom, which was largely flying under the radar once, has now risen to prominence with its artificial intelligence foray. The company is now the 11th most-valued global corporation, boasting a market capitalization of a little over $766 billion. Incidentally, it has the highest market cap among techs outside of the Magnificent Seven, minus Tesla, and TSMC.
This semiconductor and infrastructure software products manufacturer recently reported third-quarter results that thumped Street estimates, thanks to strong AI revenue and solid performance of its VMware business. The San Jose, California-based company also raised its AI revenue guidance for the fourth quarter and the full year. Despite the results ticking most boxes, the slightly light fourth-quarter guidance sent the stock tanking a little over 10% immediately after the results.
Since then the stock has come back up, thanks to its nearly 20% rise from its post-earnings low.
