Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 68 days.
The thesis — published October 3, 2025
Broadcom builds key chips and software that run AI and big networks. The stock has paused after a climb, but buying interest is starting to return while the recent average price still tilts higher. A reported $10B custom AI chip agreement and rising AI sales support the next few months. Main risks: orders can shift in timing and the stock is expensive. If buyers step back in, a run toward prior highs is possible.
Primary drivers
- Rising demand for custom chips that power AI data centers and servers
- Recent average price is trending up, hinting buyers are regaining control
- Reports of a multibillion-dollar deal for a custom AI chip program
- Strong investor interest in leading chipmakers within the sector
