Elevated Guidance
Unlike Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) , Broadcom hasn’t centered its semiconductor offerings around artificial intelligence but expects strength in AI to continue. To that point, Broadcom’s advanced networking chips have played a crucial role in handling vast amounts of data used by AI applications including OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
This led to Broadcom raising its full-year revenue guidance for fiscal 2024 from $50 billion to $51 billion which came in above the current Zacks Consensus of $50.54 billion or 41% growth. (Current Year below). Even better, Broadcom’s total sales are expected to increase another 13% in FY25 based on Zacks estiimates.
