Reached 33% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 5, 2025
Broadcom makes chips and networking software used in data centers, and demand from AI is driving faster sales growth. Management now expects AI-related sales to grow even faster than this year's strong pace, which supports a longer-term growth story. Charts show strong buying and steady volume. Valuation and integration risks mean keep position size moderate.
Primary drivers
- AI and custom chips driving large sales growth
- Strong price momentum showing high buyer interest
- Large investors buying with steadily rising volume
- Valuation and deal-integration risks limit position size
