Broadcom stock slips on disappointing software revenue
The chipmaker’s revenue topped year-ago levels by 48%, but investors focused on a slight miss versus Wall Street estimates.
- On Wednesday, Broadcom reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $22.19 billion, narrowly missing Wall Street's $22.27 billion estimate, causing shares to slide in extended trading despite adjusted earnings of $2.44 per share beating expectations.
- AI revenue more than doubled annually to $10.8 billion, which CEO Hock Tan attributed to custom AI chips and networking components, while net income surged 88% to $9.31 billion, or $1.91 per share.
- Semiconductor solutions revenue reached $15.1 billion, topping StreetAccount estimates of $14.72 billion, as the company forecasts next-quarter revenue of about $29.4 billion, exceeding Wall Street's $28.53 billion expectation.
- Meta and Broadcom deepened their AI chip partnership through 2029, while Anthropic's $10 billion December order and continued custom-chip designs by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft demonstrate sustained demand for Broadcom's technology.
- Broadcom shares have multiplied almost ninefold since 2022, when ChatGPT initiated the generative AI boom, and are up close to 40% this year as of Wednesday, outperforming the Nasdaq's 16% gain.
