Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 89% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published July 6, 2026
Apple extended a big product relationship, which makes Broadcoms future sales easier to predict and supports demand for AI networking and custom chips. Profit growth is healthy, but the company carries high debt, insiders selling shares, and recent price action is weak, so this looks attractive but riskier than top-tier picks.
Primary drivers
- Longer Apple deal improves near-term sales visibility
- Growing need for AI networking and custom chips lifts demand
- Strong profit margins and earnings growth support upside
- Debt levels and insider selling mean tighter risk controls
How it played out
AVGO: thesis partially played out, target missed
Lyra published AVGO at $378.72 with a 16% short-term growth thesis and a $439.32 target. The thesis pointed to a longer Apple relationship, demand for artificial intelligence networking and custom chips, and healthy profit growth. It also cited high debt, insider selling, and weak recent price action as risks.
AVGO peaked at $432.73 on August 10, a 14.3% gain, but it stayed below the target. It never got there. By October 4, the price had fallen to $355.14, below the $365 to $382 entry zone and the $378.72 publication price. The thesis partially played out because the shares approached the expected gain, then ended the window below the starting level.
What happened during the window
On September 2, 2026, Broadcom reported third-quarter revenue of $29.6 billion, up 86% from the prior-year period, and announced a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share.
