Broadcom (AVGO) Shares Drop 4.29% Amid AI Sell-Off, Fed Uncertainty Post-Shutdown

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) shares dropped 4.2903% in pre-market trading on Nov. 14, 2025, amid broader sell-offs in artificial intelligence (AI) equities. The decline reflects investor concerns over macroeconomic uncertainty and valuation pressures in the AI sector.

Market participants are reacting to the U.S. government shutdown, which disrupted the release of key economic data, including October inflation metrics. The lack of visibility complicates the Federal Reserve’s ability to assess potential rate cuts, increasing market volatility. Broadcom, a leader in connectivity chips for AI infrastructure, faces heightened selling pressure as investors reevaluate exposure to high-growth tech stocks. Despite the selloff, the stock remains up 44.5% year-to-date in 2025, underscoring its dominant position in the sector.

The Federal Reserve’s December policy decision now carries greater uncertainty, with incomplete employment data further clouding the outlook. Analysts note that while Broadcom’s technical leadership is unlikely to waver, macroeconomic dynamics will continue to influence its valuation trajectory. Persistent concerns about an AI sector “bubble” and interest rate volatility could drive near-term fluctuations.
