About this episode

Today, it was Broadcom's turn to drop nearly 15% after the company reported what look like solid numbers. But when it comes to quarterly earnings, it’s all about the expectations game. Today’s move was clear that expectations are high for AI. Plus, stocks bucking their sector trends and how these mega IPOs will impact indices. Tyler Crowe, Matt Frankel, and Lou Whiteman discuss: - Broadcom’s good earnings - Playing the expectations game in a volatile market. - Stocks doing well in downtrodden industries - Listener questions: How will the Spacex, Anthropic, and OpenAI IPOs impact cash on the sidelines and ETFs?
