Overview
- Broadcom reported record fiscal Q2 results on June 3 with $22.19 billion in revenue and $10.8 billion in AI semiconductor sales, a 143% year‑over‑year rise.
- Management guided roughly $16 billion of AI chip revenue for the next quarter and reaffirmed a goal of more than $100 billion by fiscal 2027, a stance some investors read as conservative.
- CEO Hock Tan’s comment that Broadcom will sell “chips only” signaled a pullback from selling integrated systems, raising questions about future margin mix and higher‑margin business lines.
- The guidance and strategic messaging triggered a double‑digit share selloff that spread across AI‑hardware names, and the group later staged a partial rebound as analysts largely kept buy ratings and raised price targets.
- Analysts point to large bookings versus shipments and tight high‑bandwidth memory as evidence demand outpaces supply, and investors will be watching upcoming supply updates, Micron’s results, hyperscaler capex timing, and margin trends for confirmation.
