What happened
Reached its target in 61 days.
The thesis — published October 8, 2025
Broadcom's share price has slipped and seems out of favor, yet interest in quality chip names is picking up. Its new Tomahawk 6, the first 102.4 Tbps Ethernet switch with co-packaged optics, strengthens its edge in AI networks and lowers power use. In the near term, a careful buy for a few months could work as buyers return, while its software arm helps keep results steadier through the usual chip cycle.
Primary drivers
- Share price fell hard recently, so a short-term rebound looks possible
- New Tomahawk 6 switch boosts AI networking speed while cutting power use
- Shares are easy to trade, and investor mood seems to be improving
- Software sales help smooth results when hardware demand rises and falls
