Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 78% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 5, 2025
Broadcom looks like a key winner from the AI wave. A new OpenAI chip deal and an upbeat outlook sent the stock up 15% this week, showing lots more people are buying than usual. The price trend is strong, though it may pause soon. Possible interest rate cuts help tech. Consider buying during a calm period after the jump, but the big jump and rich price add risk. AI data center demand could support gains over the next few months.
Primary drivers
- OpenAI chip agreement pushed the stock up about 15% in the last week
- Price trend is very strong, and the recent average price is rising fast
- Rising AI data center spending should keep demand for Broadcom strong
- After the jump, shares may pause, and the high price increases risk
