Broadcom's photonics exposure is getting too little market attention, supporting a bullish view of the stock. x.com

Broadcom's diverse networking exposure makes it one of the best positioned in the theme. The market has overlooked it year to date. Optical DSPs, Tomahawk and Jericho underpin the view; Tomahawk 6/7 ramps in 2027, and Tomahawk Ultra and optical DSPs should accelerate growth. New XPU customers and extended hyperscaler deals add to earnings upside and an eventual re-rating. Risks remain, and weak semiconductor flows warrant caution about calling a bottom. x.com
Broadcom's significant exposure to Anthropic's AI infrastructure spending and custom AI chips adds to its growth case. Annual EPS is projected to rise nearly fourfold from $8.06 LTM to $30.38 by FY2028, while the stock trades roughly 30% below its all-time high. x.com
Broadcom's top growth driver, Google TPUs, can be captured elsewhere, such as through Vicor, while its OpenAI exposure through the Jalapeño chip is unwanted in light of today's news, even if that proves a nothingburger. Broadcom should still do great and may be worth re-entering later, but the capital can find better ways to outperform it. x.com x.com
Broadcom's growth opportunities support a premium despite its stock not being dirt cheap. The selloff was much needed for big winners like it. Broadcom now occupies the position Microsoft did when it was called a 'gift' at $350 and one of the simplest buys of 2026, with around 75-85% upside in 1-2 years. It is a solid risk-reward buy here and lower. x.com x.com x.com
Broadcom's business model, cash flow, order book and dividend growth make it a long-term investment no-brainer, per Th96Trading. Broadcom is the most undervalued stock in the market right now; the attached chart shows quarterly revenue up 227.3% over five years to $22.19B. x.com x.com
Broadcom looks increasingly like a long-term short because the industry seems to be moving away from its technology. Its charts also suggest the big run is done: the weekly chart shows a Darvas box breakdown this week after heavy selling volume in December, and the quarterly chart shows a clear topping shooting-star bar. It may become a source of funds. x.com
Broadcom is very undervalued on forward EPS projections after it smashed earnings expectations. x.com
Broadcom is at least 30-40% undervalued, trading at about a market multiple of 22x forward earnings despite many growth drivers. FY2026 Q3 revenue rose 86%, operating income 92% and EPS 96% year over year even with supply constraints, though Q4 guidance was a little light. Per @saso_capital, Hock Tan said data-center readiness, not supply, is the constraint, across six XPU customers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Google. The stock is bouncing off a big volume shelf from April 2025. x.com … Show more
Broadcom's demand case looks less credible because the person projecting a fourfold EPS increase by 2030 now says that demand comes from gamblers consuming tokens. The person raising roughly $100B to finance chips also warns that a lack of capital could stop the bubble. Broadcom is no longer appealing. x.com x.com
Broadcom's custom-chip share gains should support long-term growth even if AI spending grows more slowly than expected. Custom chips are clearly gaining share and likely to keep doing so. At 10.9 times 2028 earnings using the low end of management's guidance of at least $30 EPS, Broadcom looks very compelling here. If that guidance holds and growth remains reasonable beyond 2028, the stock is clearly undervalued. x.com
