# Earnings Volatility Watch: Broadcom Sets the AI Week, But the Biggest Implied Mover Is a Whiskey Maker

Nvidia’s blowout quarter is barely in the books, and the tech calendar is already full again.

**Broadcom Inc.** (NASDAQ:AVGO), the $1.7 trillion chipmaker and one of the clearest reads on AI demand, reports Tuesday, alongside **Dell Technologies Inc.** (NYSE:DELL), **Palo Alto Networks Inc.** (NASDAQ:PANW), **Snowflake Inc.** (NYSE:SNOW) and a dozen more.

Yet, the biggest expected movers are elsewhere, and the name at the very top is not a technology company at all.

An implied move is the swing in either direction that options traders pay to hedge against ahead of a report. It measures expected volatility, not direction.

These are the 10 largest expected movers of the week, according to Benzinga Pro. 

## **10 Stocks Poised To Swing The Most This Week**

### **10\. Snowflake: 10.76% Implied Move**

The data cloud company reports Sept. 2 after the close. Analyst consensus calls for $1.48 billion in revenue and earnings of 45 cents per share.

Product revenue growth, net revenue retention and traction in AI features are the levers.

**Snowflake Inc.** (NYSE:SNOW) has jumped 49.4% this year.

### **9\. Hewlett Packard Enterprise: 10.79% Implied Move**

The enterprise hardware maker reports Sept. 2 after the close. Analysts expect $11.89 billion in revenue and earnings of 93 cents per share.

### **7\. Ciena: 11.65% Implied Move**
