Broadcom CEO Calls AI Investors ‘Casino Gamblers’, Chip Stocks Slide

Broadcom’s chief likened AI investors to casino gamblers, a comment that sent semiconductor shares lower on Tuesday.

The remark rippled through markets, contributing to a decline in Asian equities and a tumble in Samsung’s stock after its Chinese rival CXMT said it had made strong progress in memory technology.

The episode underscores how a single headline can sway sentiment in the chip sector, even though it is often viewed as resilient.
