Read MoreHide Full Article

Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) reported strong second-quarter fiscal 2024 results, topping both earnings and revenue estimates and offering an upbeat annual forecast driven by robust demand for artificial intelligence (AI) products. The chipmaker also announced a 10-for-1 stock split, which is set to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on Jul 15.

AVGO shares jumped as much as 14% in after-market trading and are up nearly 14% in the pre-market trade at the time of writing. Investors can tap the robust growth with the help of ETFs, having the largest allocation to this chipmaker. These are Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (HACK - Free Report) , Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF (TRFK - Free Report) , Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXQ - Free Report) , iShares U.S. Tech Independence Focused ETF (IETC - Free Report) and First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV - Free Report) .

Earnings in Focus

Earnings per share came in at $10.96, easily surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.79 and rising 6.2% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues jumped 43% year over year to $12.5 billion and edged past the consensus mark of $12.04 billion.

Broadcom is benefiting from the AI boom as its devices can run the different types of AI applications that have delighted the tech industry. Notably, Broadcom works with Google (GOOGL - Free Report) , which partially designs its own AI chip called a TPU.

For fiscal 2024, the chipmaker expects revenues of approximately $51.0 billion. This is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $50.54 billion.

Like NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) , Broadcom also announced a 10-to-1 stock split, effective Jul 15. The move will make the stock more accessible to investors and employees and attract individual investors who make small trades. This is because a stock split creates more shares of a company without changing the underlying dollar value of any single investor's holdings. By increasing the number of shares available, the company can attract new investors who might otherwise not be able to afford a single share at a high price (read: NVIDIA Overtakes Apple: ETFs to Tap the Incredible Growth Story).
