Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 88% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published July 20, 2026
Broadcom combines AI networking chips, custom AI processors and infrastructure software, which supports strong growth and profit margins. The shares are trading below the short-term trend but have shown early signs of picking up, suggesting a possible rebound. Near-term upside looks modest for 0-3 months because of company debt and current valuation.
Primary drivers
- AI networking and custom AI chips should boost sales
- Infrastructure software adds steady, repeatable revenue
- Improving price momentum hints at an early rebound
- Money shifting to other chip types shows demand but raises swings
How it played out
AVGO: the thesis partially played out
Lyra published AVGO at $379.10 with expected growth of 16% over the short term. The thesis pointed to networking chips and custom processors for artificial intelligence, repeatable infrastructure software revenue, and improving price momentum. It also cited debt, valuation, and swings in chip demand as limits on near-term upside.
The shares reached a peak of $432.73 on August 10, a gain of 14.1%. That stayed below the $439.76 target, so the target was never reached. AVGO ended the window at $328.75 on October 18. The expected rebound came close to the target early, but it did not hold. The thesis partially played out.
