About Broadcom

Broadcom builds the custom computer chips and the behind the scenes software that keep the world's biggest data centers running. When a giant tech company wants a chip designed specifically for its own artificial intelligence systems, Broadcom is usually the one drawing it up. At roughly 1.7 trillion dollars in value, it is now one of the most valuable companies on the planet.

The case for and against

Both sides of the story, in plain English.

Bull case
  • Custom Chip King

    Broadcom's artificial intelligence chip revenue hit 8.4 billion dollars in a single quarter, more than double the year before at 106% growth. The largest technology companies in the world now depend on Broadcom to design the custom chips at the heart of their AI systems.

  • Profit Machine

    Broadcom keeps nearly 39 cents of profit from every dollar it brings in, which is extraordinary for a company this large. Its software side adds close to 6.8 billion dollars a quarter of steady, repeat income that cushions the ups and downs of the chip business.

Bear case
  • Few Big Buyers

    A large slice of that 8.4 billion dollars in AI sales comes from only a handful of enormous customers. If even one of them slows its spending or starts designing chips in house, growth could stall in a hurry.

  • Sky High Hopes

    Revenue has been growing almost 24% a year, and next quarter is pointed at roughly 22 billion dollars. Expectations that high leave very little room for a stumble, and any slowdown in AI spending would show up in Broadcom's numbers fast.
