Jim Cramer on Broadcom: “The Disappointing Earnings May Not Be as Crushing as We Think”

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) was among the stocks Jim Cramer highlighted on Mad Money as he noted that the market has an appetite for stocks. Cramer highlighted the stock’s parabolic move before the quarter, as he said:

… The disappointing earnings may not be as crushing as we think. This is not the first time that Broadcom, which by the way, is a gigantic company, has offered a measured forecast only to crush the numbers next quarter. The stock had gone parabolic into the quarter, and as we told CNBC Investing Club members when we sold some stock ahead of this quarter this week, a parabola is never a good sign.

Plus, when we speak with George Kurtz, the CEO of CrowdStrike tonight, I think we’re going to get a much better sense of how well the cybersecurity company’s doing. And the notion of an earnings or a forecast disappointment, it may be misplaced… The disappointments really weren’t all that disappointing.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) supplies semiconductor devices and infrastructure software, including networking, connectivity, and storage solutions. The company’s products are used for applications in data centers, telecommunications, broadband, smartphones, industrial systems, and AI networking. Cramer discussed the company ahead of its earnings report on the May 29 episode. He commented:

After the close, club members beware, we have both Broadcom and CrowdStrike, two very important positions for the Trust. Both hit their all-time highs today, so I have to be a tad circumspect. You know how I feel when stocks run up ahead of a quarter. Broadcom’s stock hasn’t done all that much this year. I think it’d be delivering a good one.
