Broadcom Sees $2.3 Million Bearish Put Contract as Stock Slides Near 52-Week Lows
Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) is drawing attention from options traders today after a single unusual put contract worth $2,325,750 in premium hit the tape, signaling a notable bearish bet on the semiconductor giant. The stock is currently trading at $369.09, down 1.43% on the session, and sits closer to its 52-week low of $269.58 than its 52-week high of $495. With the options market flashing a cautious signal, traders are watching this name closely heading into the back half of July.Key Drivers of the AVGO Stock Move
- Main Catalyst: A single put contract at the $330 strike expiring June 17, 2027 printed with $2,325,750 in total premium and a size of 500 contracts, representing the lone unusual options contract flagged on AVGO today.
- Bull Case: The $330 strike sits well below the current price of $369.09, meaning the stock would need to fall more than 10% from current levels before this put moves into the money. That distance gives bulls room to argue the trade is a hedge rather than an outright directional bet.
- Bear Case: The contract carries an open interest ratio of just 32%, suggesting this is largely new positioning rather than a roll or an existing hedge. That implies a fresh, deliberate bearish conviction trade against AVGO at a time when the stock is already down 1.43% on the day and roughly 25% below its 52-week high of $495.

Traders tend to use longer-dated options as protection heading into uncertain macro and earnings catalysts during this window.AVGO Relative Performance
AVGO is down 1.43% today, underperforming in what remains a pressure-filled environment for large-cap semiconductor stocks. Trading at $369.09, the stock is positioned in the lower half of its 52-week range between $269.58 and $495, reflecting a meaningful pullback from peak levels and reinforcing the cautious tone suggested by today's unusual put activity.More on AVGO
