Let’s see how things have shaped up for Broadcom prior to this announcement:

Factors to Consider

Broadcom’s top-line growth is expected to have benefited from strong demand for its networking solutions that includes Tomahawk 4 and Jericho portfolio. The strong adoption of Tomahawk 4 for data center switching by hyperscalers is expected to have driven top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

Broadcom expects networking revenues to be strong and grow about 20% year over year in the fiscal first quarter.

Moreover, continued strong adoption of its next-generation MegaRAID and storage adapters is expected to have driven Broadcom’s storage connectivity revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Broadcom expects server storage connectivity revenues to grow more than 50% year over year.

Robust adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E for access gateways, courtesy of solid demand from homes, enterprises, telcos and other service providers, is expected to have contributed to revenue growth across the broadband end market in the fiscal first quarter. Broadband revenues are expected to grow 30% on a year-over-year basis.

Acceleration in 5G deployment, production ramp-up and increase in radio frequency content is expected to have driven top-line growth.
