Two large-cap technology names, Broadcom (AVGO) and Snowflake (SNOW), both report earnings after the close today, September 2, 2026. This preview covers who reports and when, the consensus estimates going in, and what a holder can actually check this morning before the print lands.
Who reports today, and when?
Broadcom (AVGO) and Snowflake (SNOW) both report after the closing bell today. That timing matters, because after-hours reports arrive when regular trading is already shut for the day.
An earnings report is a company's quarterly disclosure of revenue, profit and, often, forward guidance. Reports land in one of two windows, and the window changes what a holder experiences:
- Pre-market prints land before the 9:30 a.m. ET open. The stock has hours to digest the numbers, and much of the reaction can show in the opening price.
- After-hours reports, like today's two, drop after the 4:00 p.m. ET close. The initial move happens in the extended session, when volume is thinner and spreads are wider.
Both AVGO and SNOW fall in that second bucket. If you hold either, the number hits after your regular-hours orders have stopped working for the day.
What are the consensus estimates for AVGO and SNOW?
Here are the consensus EPS estimates analysts carry into tonight's two reports. These are estimates and nothing more. They are the bar the market has set, not a forecast of the result.
| Ticker | Company | Timing | Consensus EPS estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVGO | Broadcom Incorporated | After-hours | $2.83 |
| SNOW | Snowflake Incorporated | After-hours | -$0.51 |
A consensus estimate is the average of the projections analysts submit ahead of the report. The actual figure can land above, below or right on it, and this preview makes no claim about which. What matters for a holder is knowing the reference point the market is measuring against.
What does an after-hours report mean if you hold the stock?
An after-hours report means the numbers publish while you cannot trade in the regular session, so the reaction plays out in a thinner extended market and can carry into the next open. The most visible mechanical consequence is a gap.
How a gap works after an after-hours print
A gap is when a stock opens at a materially different price than where it closed the prior day, with no regular-hours trading in between. After an after-hours earnings report, the stock can open the next morning well away from last night's close.
- The extended-hours move happens on lower volume, so the after-hours price is not always where the stock settles the next day.
- A standard market order placed before the open executes at whatever the opening price is, not the price you last saw.
- Because both AVGO and SNOW report tonight, any gap in either shows up when the regular session opens tomorrow, September 3.
None of this predicts direction. It simply describes how the plumbing works when the news arrives outside trading hours.
What can a holder actually do this morning?
This morning, before the close, a holder can check three concrete things: exposure to tonight's reporters, whether alerts are set, and how each position sits against their own targets. Checking is not the same as deciding, and this preview stops at checking.
Check your exposure to today's reporters
First, confirm whether AVGO or SNOW actually sits in your portfolio, and at what weight. Direct holdings are obvious, but indirect exposure is easy to miss:
- Broad technology and semiconductor ETFs frequently hold AVGO at a meaningful weight.
- Software and cloud-focused funds often carry SNOW.
- A single name can appear across several funds you own, stacking your true exposure higher than any one line suggests.
If you track everything in one place, this is fast. PortfolioTrackr aggregates holdings across accounts and asset classes, so you can see your total AVGO and SNOW exposure without opening each broker app. If you are still juggling tabs, our comparison of a portfolio tracker versus a spreadsheet covers why a single view helps on days like this.
Set price alerts before the print, not after
Set your price alerts before the close, because once the report is out the move can already be underway. An alert set at 4:15 p.m. is racing the news.
With PortfolioTrackr, prices are monitored continuously through market hours, and an alert fires as soon as your level is reached. The tool reports status against your own levels, still below target, Target 1 reached, or stop-loss level reached, and leaves the decision to you. It does not tell you what to do.
- Decide the levels that matter to you for each name you hold.
- Set them before tonight's after-hours window.
- Remember that alerts track regular sessions, so a large overnight gap can carry a name past a level before the next open.
If you connect a brokerage, holdings and prices sync automatically, though connecting is optional. Our guide on connecting a brokerage account to a portfolio tracker walks through the setup, and manual entry, CSV, voice and text all work on every plan if you would rather not link an account.
Know where each position sits against your own targets
Before the print, it helps to know the answer to a simple question: where does this position sit relative to the levels you already set for it? That is a fact about your own plan, not a call to act on it.
- Your cost basis and current weight in each reporter.
- Whether the position is above or below any target or stop level you defined earlier.
- How a gap at tomorrow's open would move it relative to those same levels.
What is worth watching inside tonight's reports?
Beyond the headline EPS versus the consensus estimate, the parts of a report that shape the story are usually revenue and forward guidance. Watching them is not the same as predicting them.
- Revenue against the quarter's narrative. For AVGO, that has centered on semiconductor and infrastructure-software demand. For SNOW, the recurring focus has been product revenue and net revenue retention.
- Guidance. Management's outlook for the next quarter or full year often drives the after-hours reaction more than the reported quarter itself.
- Margins and cash flow. These give context that a single EPS line cannot, especially for a company like SNOW carrying a negative consensus EPS estimate this quarter.
The point of watching is to understand the result once it lands, not to guess it in advance. This preview names no outcome for either stock.
How PortfolioTrackr fits an earnings evening
PortfolioTrackr gives a holder one place to see total exposure, set alerts and read status against their own levels across stocks, crypto and UAE markets. That is useful on a night when two names report at once.
- See combined AVGO and SNOW exposure across every account and fund in a single view.
- Set and manage price alerts that fire within a minute of a level being reached during market hours.
- Track the same names across 95 stock exchanges and 67 currencies if your holdings span more than one market.
If you also hold digital assets that trade around the clock, our guide on tracking stocks and crypto together explains how a 24/7 asset sits alongside names that report after a fixed close.
The bottom line
Broadcom (AVGO) and Snowflake (SNOW) both report after the close today, September 2, 2026, with consensus EPS estimates of $2.83 and -$0.51 respectively. Because both are after-hours reports, the reaction lands outside regular trading and can show up as a gap at tomorrow's open.
This morning, the useful moves are all about checking: confirm your direct and indirect exposure, set your price alerts before the print, and know where each position sits against the levels you already chose. What the numbers say, and what you do about them, is yours to decide once the reports are out.

What time do Broadcom and Snowflake report earnings today?
Both Broadcom (AVGO) and Snowflake (SNOW) report after the close today, September 2, 2026. After-hours reports land once regular trading has ended for the day, so the initial reaction happens in the thinner extended session rather than during normal market hours.
What is the consensus EPS estimate for AVGO and SNOW?
The consensus EPS estimate is $2.83 for Broadcom (AVGO) and -$0.51 for Snowflake (SNOW) for this quarter. A consensus estimate is the average of analyst projections ahead of the report. The actual figure can land above, below or on it.
Why can a stock gap up or down after an after-hours earnings report?
A stock gaps because the earnings news arrives after regular trading closes, so buying and selling in the thin extended session repositions the stock before the next open. When the regular market reopens, the stock can start well away from the prior close with no trading in between.
Should I set price alerts before or after an earnings report?
Set price alerts before the report, because once the numbers are out the move may already be underway. With PortfolioTrackr, prices are monitored continuously through market hours and an alert fires as soon as your chosen level is reached, reporting status against your own levels.
How do I check my total exposure to a stock reporting earnings?
Aggregate every account and fund in one view, since a name can appear as a direct holding and inside several ETFs at once. PortfolioTrackr combines holdings across accounts and asset classes so you can see total AVGO or SNOW exposure without opening each broker app separately.
