Since Broadcom's revenue miss and 15% single-day drop rattled chip investors on June 3, the rotation that analysts had been warning about has arrived in force.

Thursday's final numbers told the story plainly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 51,561.93 — a record high — up 874.86 points, or 1.73%, according to CNBC. The S&P 500 gained 0.41% to close at 7,584.31. The Nasdaq, home to the AI trade, scraped out a -0.09% finish at 26,830.96.

Same market. Very different winners.

Who Won and Who Got Crushed

UnitedHealth led the Dow, surging more than 5%. JPMorgan Chase climbed 3%. Walmart added nearly 1%. Outside the Dow, Costco gained more than 1% and Eli Lilly jumped more than 4%, per CNBC.

Meanwhile, the semiconductor sector took another beating. Micron Technology fell close to 8%. Arm Holdings shed more than 4%. Advanced Micro Devices lost 4%. Intel dropped 2%. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) lost more than 1% on the day.

Broadcom itself closed down roughly 12-15% depending on the snapshot — a brutal two-day punishment for missing the $22.27 billion revenue consensus by $80 million, per CNBC's reporting citing LSEG analyst data.

The AI Trade Isn't Dead — It's Tired

"After an astonishing earnings season, the AI trade is still alive and well, but this rally is getting tired after an incredible more than two-month surge," said Dennis Follmer, chief investment officer at Montis Financial, per CNBC.

The Nasdaq's two-month run was historic. The correction wasn't triggered by a collapse in AI fundamentals — Broadcom CEO Hock Tan reiterated the company's fiscal year 2027 AI chip revenue guidance of "in excess of $100 billion," according to CNBC. The thesis didn't change. The stock was just priced for perfection and got less than that.

Jim Cramer's CNBC Investing Club team put it plainly: what happened to Broadcom and CrowdStrike "was a matter of expectations getting ahead of fundamentals."

CrowdStrike is part of this story too. The cybersecurity company's stock dropped 6% after issuing guidance that was technically above analyst estimates — second-quarter revenue around $1.44 billion versus a StreetAccount estimate of $1.3 billion — but the market shrugged. Palo Alto Networks fell in sympathy.

Costco Posts Strong Comparable Sales Growth

Costco posted 8.7% U.S. comparable sales growth in May, the highest in over a year, per CNBC. Traffic grew 3.7%, accelerating sharply from the trailing 12-month average of 2.8%.

Part of the gain comes from gasoline. With fuel prices elevated, consumers are flocking to Costco's pumps — saving 20 to 30 cents per gallon — and then spending more inside the store. Costco's stock was up 2% on the week as of Thursday's close.

The Middle East Stalemate Is a Real Headwind

Follmer at Montis Financial flagged something most financial media has glossed over. "With no end in sight for the stalemate in the Strait of Hormuz, we would not be surprised to see stocks stall for a while as that reality sinks in," he told CNBC.

Iran's strike on Kuwait International Airport earlier this week and the ongoing back-and-forth with U.S. Central Command represents a sustained oil supply risk sitting on top of an already inflation-sensitive market. Neither the Dow's record close nor the AI narrative fully captures this headwind.

Other Notable Movers

Blackstone jumped 8% — which is remarkable given the firm simultaneously disclosed it's limiting withdrawals from its Private Credit fund after elevated redemption requests. Investors apparently decided to look past that. Fellow asset managers Ares Management and KKR each gained 6% in sympathy, per CNBC.

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals rose 4% after announcing a $2 billion AI collaboration with Inceptive Nucleics focused on RNA interference therapeutics.

Five Below fell 13% despite issuing a better-than-expected second-quarter revenue outlook of $1.18 billion to $1.2 billion, above the StreetAccount estimate of $1.15 billion. Same-store sales guidance of 7-9% growth crushed the 4.4% consensus. The market sold it anyway.

PVH — Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein's parent — plunged 20% after simply reiterating full-year guidance.

The Jobs Report Is Tomorrow

The government's May employment report drops at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday. Per FactSet, economists expect 105,000 jobs added — which would mark three straight months of gains. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.3%.

A weak print validates the rotation into defensives. A strong print could reignite rate-hike fears and hit the Dow's newly crowned record. Thursday's rotation is not the final answer.
