Broadcom Corp. (NASDAQ:BRCM) posted $0.27 non-GAAP EPS on revenues of $950 million; unfortunately the company did not issue guidance and shares are being hit for it.

According to First Call, analysts were calling for $0.27 EPS and $929.6 million revenues this quarter and $0.31 EPS and $$991.5 million revenues next quarter.

Shares closed uo 0.8% at $42.06 on the day and its 52-week high is $43.07.  Shares are now down 4.5% in after-hours, but we are considering this an open issue until guidance is offered.
