    AVGO

    AVGO reports earnings after the close and will impact semi, AI sectors and Nasi in general. Expected move +/- 18 into Fri expiration. AVGO has moved outsized the expected move 6/11 prior reports. Skew indicates that traders are hedging into the print, which can provide a larger move on a positive report.
