Broadcom’s stock pops on mystery $10 billion AI customer
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan indicated that the company anticipates AI-related semiconductor sales to grow and reach $6.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024.
This outlook follows strong third-quarter results where AI revenue grew 63% to $5.2 billion, fueled by hyperscale partners including Google investing heavily in custom accelerators.
Broadcom also launched the Tomahawk Ultra and next-generation Jericho networking chips this year to accelerate AI compute and challenge Nvidia's dominance.
The company reported third-quarter revenue of $15.95 billion, beating estimates, while management expects fourth-quarter sales of $17.4 billion versus analyst estimates of $17.05 billion.
Broadcom's AI growth and new chip launches have helped drive its shares up more than 30% year to date, reflecting strong market confidence and significant revenue expansion.
