Overview
- Broadcom shares plunged about 12.6% after June 3 Q2 results showed revenue of $22.19 billion and management guided Q3 AI‑chip revenue to $16 billion.
- Management reaffirmed its fiscal‑2027 AI‑semiconductor opportunity at $100 billion and raised expected AI‑chip shipments to more than 10 gigawatts while saying AI networking made up roughly 40% of AI semiconductor revenue in Q2.
- Wall Street expects strong earnings growth with consensus fiscal Q3 EPS near $2.83 and fiscal 2026 EPS around $10.24, and most analysts maintain a bullish 'Strong Buy' view with an average price target implying sizable upside.
- Investors are focused on whether Broadcom can convert rising AI‑chip shipment volumes into near‑term revenue as hyperscale cloud providers build more custom accelerators, a dynamic that raises uncertainty for merchant GPU demand.
- The coming fiscal Q3 report is likely to shape Broadcom's valuation and investor confidence by clarifying AI monetization trends and the resilience of its networking and co‑packaged optics franchises that serve cloud customers.
