Broadcom's AI business is expanding rapidly. So far, none of the company's projected growth for 2027 is priced into the stock.
These are excellent semiconductor companies, but only one can be the better investment in this comparison.
On September 1, 2026, the Lowe's Foundation announced what it called the nation's largest skilled trades coalition, with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction), AT&T, Bank of America, Carrier, General Motors, DEWALT and Duke Energy signing on to train 1
The AI trade remains alive and well, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Broadcom (AVGO), and Dell Technologies (DELL) all recently posting strong quarterly results.
On Wednesday's earnings call, CEO Hock Tan said Broadcom has line of sight to $230 billion of AI semiconductor revenue in fiscal 2028, four times the $58 billion expected this year. The fiscal 2027 target rose from more than $100 billion to about $115 billion, and Tan says supply for both years is already secured.
We downgraded Broadcom Inc. to a Sell last quarter based on our belief the stock was stuck in a catch-22. We expected share and/or margin pressure for AVGO as more hyperscalers look to multi-source their custom AI ASIC projects. While the margin decline is confirming our logic, we think accelerating top-line growth can help offset it by driving higher operating margins.
Average month-end to month-end move for AVGOin each calendar month. Point at a bar for that month's spread: past seasonality is a tendency in a small sample, not a forecast.
