Analysts Fire Off Top Questions as Broadcom Posts Q1 Beat

Broadcom topped Q1 expectations with revenue of $22.19B and adjusted EPS of $2.44, driven by AI semiconductors (AI revenue $10.8B, up 143% YoY). Gross margin slipped about 32 basis points as AI-chip mix grew, while operating margin was 48.6%. The company guided Q2 revenue to about $29.4B. In the call, top analysts pressed on AI backlog, the Google agreement, margin dynamics, wafer/HBM supply, and 2027 gigawatt targets, with CEO Hock Tan and CFO Kirsten Spears providing clarifications. Shares fell as investors digest the mix shift and margin outlook, alongside VMware software adoption and capacity considerations.

Broadcom Falls as AI Revenue Guidance Falls Short of Expectations

Broadcom posted a strong Q2 with revenue of $22.19B (+48% YoY) and AI semiconductors revenue of $10.8B (+143%), plus a record free cash flow of $10.3B and EBITDA margin of 69%, but the stock dropped after management guided Q3 AI revenue to $16B (about $1.2B below expectations) and chose not to raise its long-term AI target of over $100B for 2027, signaling a catalyst gap despite solid fundamentals; Q3 revenue guidance of $29.4B beat consensus, and analysts were mixed on the stock’s path, with some raising targets and others downgrading.

Broadcom’s AI Chip Demand Fuels Record Q2, Lifts AI Revenue Outlook Toward $100B by 2027

Broadcom posted a record Q2 revenue of $22.2 billion, up 48% year over year, with a 67% operating margin and $10.3 billion in free cash flow. AI semiconductors led the growth, delivering $10.8 billion in AI revenue (up 143%), prompting a stronger outlook: Q3 AI semiconductor revenue of $16 billion and full-year AI revenue of about $56 billion, with AI revenue potentially exceeding $100 billion in fiscal 2027. Networking remains a key AI driver (about 40% of AI revenue in Q2, expected to normalize toward 30%), while Infrastructure Software rose 9% to $7.2 billion and VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 gained traction. Gross margin was 77.1%, cash on hand rose to $19.6 billion, and free cash flow was $10.3 billion. For Q3, Broadcom guided revenue of $29.4 billion with roughly 74% gross margin and about 67% operating margin (~68% EBITDA). CFO Kirsten Spears will retire mid-June; Amie Thuener will become CFO. The company highlighted long-term AI partnerships with Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta as part of sustained AI data-center demand.

Broadcom Dips After-Hours on Softer Q3 Revenue Outlook Despite Strong Q2

Broadcom reported Q2 revenue of about $22.2 billion (up ~48% year over year) with adjusted earnings per share around $2.44, roughly in line with expectations. For Q3, the company pegged revenue at about $29.4 billion and EBITDA near 68% of revenue, a guide below the top end of analyst estimates, which sent AVGO lower in after-hours trading by roughly 6%. Management cited AI-related semiconductor demand as a key growth driver and even projected AI semiconductor revenue to grow more than 200% year over year to about $16 billion in Q3. The stock had previously surged on mega-deals for custom chips with Anthropic, Meta and Alphabet, but investors remain cautious as the AI demand outlook competes with the softer near-term guidance.
