NEW YORK – Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) shares finished the trading week with significant momentum, closing with a robust gain and showing continued strength in after-hours trading, setting a bullish tone for the start of next week.
The semiconductor giant ended Friday’s session at
5.28 (1.96%). This strong performance was sustained throughout the day, with the stock trading near its daily high of $275.80 at the close, indicating that buying pressure remained firm right until the bell.
Further fueling optimism, after-hours activity saw the stock tick up an additional $0.44 (0.16%). This follow-through buying after the market’s close is often seen by traders as a positive signal that momentum may carry over into the next trading session.
Technically, the stock is showing signs of significant strength. By closing at $275.18, Broadcom is now trading within striking distance of its 52-week high of $277.70. A stock challenging its yearly peak is typically a sign of strong investor confidence and can often precede a new breakout to higher levels.
Outlook for Monday:
Given the strong close, the positive after-hours performance, and the stock’s proximity to its 52-week high, technical indicators suggest that Broadcom is well-positioned to open higher on Monday. The sustained buying interest on Friday points to a positive sentiment that is likely to persist as the new trading week begins.
