NEUTRAL IMPACT
Broadcom's increased short interest may suggest bearish market sentiment, but with only 1.62% of float shorted and being below the peer average, the impact may be limited.
While the rise in short interest for Broadcom indicates that some investors are expecting the stock price to decline, the fact that it is below the peer average and represents a small percentage of the float suggests that the impact on the stock price may be muted in the short term.
