Whether this is correct or not will depend on what you're IPing. How long do you expect it to be? Have you looked at some of the peaks and do they look reasonable? Use IGV.

Most importantly, what did you ChIP? Broad histone mark, Pol-II?

It is Transcription factor.

Can you show a browser track screenshot? It is unusual for TF peaks being that long. Can you also post a histogram or boxplot of the width across all peaks? Maybe you are picking up clusters of TFs in the example you show. How long were fragments after sonication? You can also check the insert size lengths in the paired-end bam file.
