Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 71 days.
The thesis — published February 3, 2026
Broadcom launched Wi-Fi 8 for enterprise, which supports the idea that companies will upgrade their networks as AI workloads grow. That positive story keeps buyers interested, but recent comments from analysts highlight unclear profit margins and competition, which explains the up-and-down trading. In the next 0-3 months, treat this as a trade to buy dips rather than assuming steady gains.
Primary drivers
- New Wi-Fi 8 launch helps businesses upgrade networks
- AI-related data-center demand fuels core growth
- Unclear margins and competition cause price swings
- Better to buy on pullbacks than chase higher prices
How it played out
AVGO: target reached in 71 days
Lyra published AVGO at $329.35 on 2026-02-03 with an 18% expected gain over the short term. The thesis pointed to Broadcom's Wi-Fi 8 launch for enterprise networks, demand tied to artificial intelligence data centers, and a less clean setup from unclear margins and competition. It framed the trade as one to buy on pullbacks, not chase.
Inside the window, AVGO reached the $388.63 target in 71 days. The stock peaked at $429.31 on 2026-04-23, with a 30.4% gain, and ended at $416.50 on 2026-05-04. The thesis played out, and the move went past the target.
What happened during the window
On April 7, 2026, Broadcom disclosed a long-term Google agreement for custom Tensor Processing Units, and Anthropic announced related TPU compute capacity with Broadcom. Business Insider reported the same day that AVGO rose 4% after those announcements.
