On June 5, ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) fell 5.09% in regular trading, trading at $80.09/share, with trading volume of $2.764 billion. As a 3x leveraged ETF tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, the decline reflects amplified losses from the underlying index.
The primary catalyst was Broadcom's 14.5% post-earnings selloff that dragged the broader semiconductor and technology sectors lower. Despite reporting Q2 revenue of $22.19 billion (up 48% YoY) and AI semiconductor revenue of $10.8 billion (up 143% YoY) — both exceeding consensus — the stock plunged after management maintained its full-year $56 billion AI revenue guidance without an upward revision. The Q3 semiconductor guidance of $16 billion also fell short of the market's $17 billion expectation. Additionally, the stock had rallied nearly 13% in the three sessions preceding the report, setting up a classic sell-the-news reaction.
The weakness spread across the chip sector, with Micron Technology falling 6.1% and other AI-linked names retreating, as investors rotated out of high-momentum growth positions into defensive assets including gold, which rose above $4,499.
