<li>Oracle: results were decent. Management released a huge Remaining Performance Obligation number aka future AI Infra revenue. That spooked the market. </li>
<li>Broadcom: a very good quarter, AI semi revenue guidance back on track. But Broadcom will reach its 2027 revenue target ($60-90bn) with 5 customers, not 3.</li>
<li>Results and outlook (for both) were ok to good; market reaction very negative.  1) the AI narrative is dead  2) the correction is especially steep for expensive stocks  </li>
