Where Will Broadcom (AVGO) Be in 5 Years?

Broadcom's (NASDAQ: AVGO) banal surged much than 600% implicit the past 5 years. The tech elephantine attracted a stampede of bulls arsenic its spot income surged and it expanded with bold acquisitions. But volition its banal emergence adjacent higher implicit the adjacent 5 years?

Broadcom, which was known arsenic Avago earlier it acquired the archetypal Broadcom and inherited its marque successful 2016, erstwhile generated astir of its gross by selling a wide scope of chips for the mobile, information center, networking, wireless, storage, and concern markets.

Will AI make the world's archetypal trillionaire? Our squad conscionable released a study connected the 1 little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the captious exertion Nvidia and Intel some need. Continue »

Over the pursuing decade, it aggressively expanded into the infrastructure bundle marketplace by acquiring respective ample companies, including the unreality bundle elephantine VMware. That enlargement diversified its apical enactment distant from the cyclical semiconductor market, portion giving it caller ways to fastener successful its ample information halfway customers by bundling unneurotic its chips and software.

Much of Broadcom's caller maturation was driven by income of customized application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to accelerate AI applications. Unlike Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) general-purpose information halfway GPUs, which are well-suited for a wide scope of customers and AI tasks, Broadcom's AI accelerators are customized for the largest hyperscalers.

Broadcom's income of AI accelerators are soaring arsenic ample hyperscalers -- specified arsenic Meta (NASDAQ: META) and Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google -- ramp up their improvement of customized AI chips to trim their dependence connected Nvidia. At scale, these customized ASICs tin besides beryllium much cost-efficient astatine processing AI tasks than Nvidia's GPUs. It bundles those chips with its different optical and networking chips for information centers.

In fiscal 2025 (which ended past November), Broadcom's full AI spot income surged 65% to $20 billion, accounting for 31% of its apical line. That explosive maturation offset its slower income of non-AI chips and infrastructure software, which are much cyclical and exposed to the macro headwinds. By the extremity of fiscal 2027, it expects to make $60-$90 cardinal successful annualized AI spot revenue.

From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2028, analysts expect Broadcom's gross and adjusted net earlier interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to turn astatine CAGRs of 38% and 36%, respectively. With an endeavor worth of $1.6 trillion, it inactive looks reasonably valued astatine 25 times this year's adjusted EBITDA.
