The latest data point for AVGO's EPS Surprise % in Q1'26 stands at 0.99%, indicating a modest positive deviation from analyst expectations and continuing a pattern of generally favorable surprises in recent quarters. This value reflects a slight pullback from the stronger 4.28% surprise in Q4'25 but remains well above the negative outlier of -89.39% observed in Q1'24. Over the period from Q2'23 to Q1'26, EPS Surprise % has shown volatility with an overall upward trend in recent years, starting from around 2% in Q2'23, dipping to lows below 1% in Q3'23 and Q4'23, experiencing a sharp decline to -89.39% in Q1'24, and then recovering to peak at 5.96% in Q1'25 before stabilizing between 0.64% and 4.28% in subsequent quarters. Meanwhile, EPS Growth (YoY) exhibits greater fluctuations, with early positive growth of 36.20% in Q2'23 tapering to 5.47% in Q4'23, followed by significant declines to -150% in Q3'24, and a robust rebound to highs of 299.32% in Q1'25 and 320% in Q3'25, before moderating to 32.48% in Q1'26; this suggests improving earnings momentum post-2024 downturns, though with persistent quarter-to-quarter variability that financial analysts should monitor for sustainability.
