Broadcom's 13% drop for not raising its $100 billion-plus 2027 AI target offers a better entry, since AI revenue itself did not disappoint. Q2 AI semiconductor revenue grew 143% to $10.8 billion, and Q3 guidance points to more than 200% growth. Hyperscalers want alternatives to NVIDIA, and Broadcom is currently the only company delivering custom AI accelerators at scale. The thesis needs revisiting if a major hyperscaler announces it can replace Broadcom rather than partner with it. x.com
