Broadcom achieved a 220% y/y increase in AI revenue, reaching $12.2 billion over the fiscal year.

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) reported a remarkable surge in artificial intelligence revenue, marking a 220% increase over the past year as it published its fourth-quarter earnings results. This substantial growth has propelled the company’s AI revenue to $12.2 billion, highlighting its successful adaptation to the rising demand within the sector.

The expanding infrastructure needs of generative AI technologies largely drive the notable increase. Much of this revenue growth is attributed to Broadcom’s ethernet networking components, which are essential for connecting AI chips and have seen heightened demand.

Broadcom Reports Better than Expected Quarterly Results, Notes Surge in AI Revenue

Broadcom develops custom AI chips and collaborates with three major cloud service providers. This strategic move positions the company to capitalize on a market opportunity projected to be worth between $60 billion and $90 billion by 2027.
CEO Hock Tan has emphasized the potential for growth in AI over the next few years, particularly as hyperscale computing entities are increasingly focused on creating their own AI accelerators. These developments underscore Broadcom’s commitment to reinforcing its footprint in the AI sector.

In addition to its AI revenue achievements, Broadcom has reported stronger-than-expected earnings for the fourth quarter. The company’s earnings per share stood at $1.42, surpassing the anticipated $1.38, while revenue figures came in at $14.05 billion, slightly below the expected $14.09 billion.
Following the earnings announcement, Broadcom’s stock experienced a 13% increase in extended trading. The company has also provided an upbeat revenue outlook for the first quarter, projecting approximately $14.6 billion, which exceeds the average analyst estimate of $14.57 billion.

Broadcom Stock Surges in Extended Trading

On the last trading day, Broadcom’s stock opened at $180.93 and closed at $180.66, with a day’s range fluctuating between $176.00 and $181.99. As of the time of writing (7:12 AM EST), AVGO is trading at $208.45, up over 15% in extended trading.

Over the past year, the stock has seen a low of $104.151 and a high of $186.42. Broadcom’s market capitalization stands at $855.65 billion, with a dividend rate of $2.12 and a yield of 1.17%. The stock’s beta is recorded at 1.187, indicating its volatility compared to the market.

These figures suggest a positive outlook for the company’s future performance. Broadcom’s financial health is supported by a trailing P/E ratio of 141.14 and a forward P/E of 24.59, reflecting investor confidence in its growth prospects.
