What happened
Reached its target in 90 days.
The thesis — published January 15, 2026
Broadcom makes chips and enterprise software used in data centers, so it can benefit from more AI computing. A new 25% tariff on AI chips caused worry, but exemptions for data-center and AI uses mean demand may not fall as much as feared. The stock is forming a base; consider buying on weakness and add later if the price action clearly improves.
Primary drivers
- Growing need for AI hardware in data centers supports chip and networking sales
- Tariff exemptions for data-center uses lessen the chance of a big demand drop
- The stock is forming a base, so accumulate in stages rather than chase moves
- Exposure to chips and infrastructure software gives multiple paths to revenue growth
