Broadcom continues to pursue its target of exceeding $100 billion in AI semiconductor revenue by fiscal year 2027, having recently raised its fiscal 2027 forecast to $115 billion. CEO Hock Tan has projected that AI semiconductor revenue could reach approximately $230 billion by fiscal 2028. This growth is supported by high demand for custom AI accelerators, Ethernet networking, and optical connections, as well as the leveraging of its VMware acquisition to develop platforms like Private AI Cloud and AI Factory. In the second quarter of 2026, Broadcom emerged as the second-largest fabless IC design company, reporting revenue growth of 112% year-on-year to over $18.89 billion. In fiscal Q3 2026, Broadcom reported a surge in revenue to $29.6 billion, an 86% year-over-year increase, with AI semiconductors contributing $16.7 billion, or 56% of total revenue. The company has raised its full-year fiscal 2026 AI revenue forecast to $58 billion. Broadcom is positioning itself as a key alternative to Nvidia by developing cost-effective custom AI chips for corporations such as Alphabet and Meta Platforms. Recent data shows Broadcom’s AI chip sales reached $20 billion in fiscal 2025, accounting for 31% of total revenue. Major AI software companies, including Google, Meta Platforms, OpenAI, and Anthropic, have utilized Broadcom’s custom AI accelerators to manage AI inference tasks more efficiently than standard GPUs. Broadcom’s business model is split between semiconductor solutions, which generated 58% of revenue in fiscal 2025, and infrastructure software, which accounted for 42%. From fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2025, the company maintained a 19% compound annual growth rate. Institutional interest remains active despite shifting holdings. While Castleview Partners LLC reduced its stake by 40.8% during the third quarter, other investors including Stokes Capital Advisors LLC, Mirador Capital Partners LP, Capital Advisors Wealth Management LLC, Kaizen Financial Strategies, and Sound Income Strategies LLC have increased their positions.
