Broadcom, the chip maker, continues to flourish in 2023, with its stock (ticker: AVGO) surging by 51% this year. In comparison, the S&P 500 index has risen by only 16%. Achieving a closing price of $844.60 on Tuesday, the shares remain close to their all-time high of $923.67, reached on Aug. 31. The company's strong earnings reports and its association with artificial intelligence have made it an attractive investment.
Director Harry L. You recently made a substantial purchase of Broadcom stock on the open market. On Sept. 15, he acquired 1,000 shares, paying an average price of $858.96 per share for a total of $860,000. Combining these new shares with his existing holdings, which consist mainly of restricted stock units, You now boasts a total of 3,510 Broadcom shares. It is worth noting that this purchase represents his first open-market transaction. You's professional background includes serving as the co-CEO of dMY Squared Technology Group (DMYY) and as a former chief financial officer at Oracle (ORCL).
This acquisition follows a similar move made by director Check Kian Low, who purchased 11,000 Broadcom shares for $9.6 million on Sept. 6. Like You, this marked Low's first purchase on the open market.
