On July 17, Broadcom fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at approximately $370.05/share, with turnover of $21.95 billion. The decline came as the U.S. International Trade Commission's 337 investigation into specific DRAM devices and downstream products continued to pressure market sentiment across the semiconductor sector.
Broadcom is listed as one of seven defendants in the investigation, which was initiated based on a complaint by California-based Netlist alleging patent infringement related to vertically stacked memory chips and through-silicon via (TSV) technology. Implicated products include Google TPUs, NVIDIA Blackwell and Rubin series GPUs, and Super Micro Computer servers. The broader semiconductor sector faced significant selling pressure, with NVIDIA down 1.29%, AMD down 2.67%, Intel down 2.71%, and TSMC down 2.65%.
Despite Broadcom announcing a $400 million panel-level advanced packaging joint venture with Powertech Technology in Singapore on the same day, and previously securing a multi-year custom chip deal worth over $30 billion from Apple, short-term sector-wide systematic risk and elevated valuation digestion continued to dominate price action.
