For people who are worried about the market today, I get it. This stuff is very stressful.
So I put together a chart of all of the times the VIX (the "fear index" of the market) was up over 30% in a day (like today) in the past ten years.
23 out of 25 instances the market was higher one month later. The only two times it wasn't was Feb 2020 when Covid hit the economy in March 2020.
What is the underlying message? When people are afraid, they make bad decisions. Do the opposite.
Attached is a chart summarizing my results.
AVGO Q2 FY26财报:revenue $22.2B beat、AI semi $10.8B(+143% YoY)、Q3 AI guide $16B(+200% YoY)、FY26 AI revenue $56B、2027 $100B+。
所有数字都漂亮,但股价盘后大跌13%,带崩整个AI铲子股板块
这波回调到底是“短期情绪修正”还是”AI周期见顶信号”?
先看下跌的真实原因:不是基本面崩塌,是预期管理
把跌13%的真实驱动拆开:
1. 没有raise FY27 $100B AI target
过去三个quarter,AVGO每次都上调FY27 AI target。这次只是reiterate($100B+不变),没有给市场期待的”超预期上调”。
2. Q3 AI guide低于buyside预期
•Q3 AI semi guide $16B
•sell-side consensus $17.5B左右
•buyside whisper $18B+
•guide vs buyside差$2B这才是真正的让人失望
3. Google TPU的margin拖累
GOOGL TPU业务毛利率低于networking + software。AVGO的business mix正在向”低margin AI hardware”倾斜,长期EBITDA margin可能下行。
但基本面的真实信号:AI capex没有降速
把CEO Hock Tan的电话会议关键发言提炼:
关于AI Demand:
•“Customers have been coming to us incrementally over the last few months”
•“We are talking about compute capacity way ahead of what we fully expected six months ago”
•“Our visibility runs all the way to 2028 right now. Three months ago, visibility ran to 2027. Today, it runs to 2028”
关于Bookings:
•Q2 AI bookings $30B+
•H2 AI revenue预计2x H1
•FY26 AI semi revenue $56B (+180% YoY)
关于Enterprise AI:
•“Enterprise consuming AI is still relatively at an early stage of the game”
•token consumption主要来自LLMs(Anthropic、OpenAI、Gemini),driving insatiable compute growth
关于Gigawatts:
•2027:10GW shipment 完全维持
•2028:substantial growth from 2027 —— 2028比2027更多
这是有AI周期减速的迹象吗?完全没有。
那为什么会带崩整个AI铲子股板块?
1. AVGO是hyperscaler ASIC的最大bellwether
AVGO占custom AI accelerator市场70%份额。AVGO的guidance方向 = 整个hyperscaler ASIC市场的方向信号。
2. Hyperscaler融资压力开始显现
Alphabet刚发$80B股权融资,这是hyperscaler自身现金流覆盖不了capex的首次信号。如果其他hyperscaler跟进股权融资,说明AI capex扩张速度已经触及自身极限。
3. Margin mix恶化是结构性的
custom ASIC的margin比传统networking低,这是永久性结构变化,不会反转。AVGO的blended margin长期会下行——这可能压制估值倍数。
4. AI ROI验证迟迟未到
Bain研究显示多数公司AI节省成本<10%,远低于预期。如果企业AI ROI在2026年Q4仍然不达预期,整个AI capex故事的”循环押注”会被质疑。
结论
AVGO跌13%的本质是预期管理失败 + 估值已透支 + Margin mix担忧的三重叠加,不是AI capex见顶的信号��
CEO的电话会议明确传达:
•AI capex visibility从2027延伸到2028
•Q2 bookings $30B+
•客户incrementally每月加单
•Enterprise AI仍在早期阶段
最大的真实风险不是这次回调本身,是hyperscaler融资压力 + AI ROI验证迟迟未到。如果这两个变量在2026 Q4恶化,AI铲子股板块会进入更深的回调。
Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
