Broadcom's post-earnings wobble is not a cycle top: it now guides AI revenue to $58B in FY26, $115B in FY27 and $230B in FY28. Q3 revenue rose 86% to $29.6B, with AI semiconductors up 221% to $16.7B, over half of sales, and a ~68% operating margin shows pricing power. Q4 guidance slightly missed and gross margin slips to 73% as packaging and HBM eat margin. With six+ XPU customers, the risk is land, grid and substrate bottlenecks delaying deployments; receivables and inventory nearly doubled. x.comÂ
