Broadcom Exceeds Earnings Expectations but Shares Dip; Long-Term AI Revenue Outlook Sparks Optimism
Broadcom reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue for its fiscal third quarter of 2026, with a year-over-year increase in both metrics. The company also raised its multiyear guidance for artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales, projecting $58 billion in AI-related revenue for the current fiscal year—up from previous estimates—and forecasting significant growth through 2027 and beyond. Despite these positive numbers, Broadcom's stock dipped modestly after hours. Investors appeared more focused on long-term guidance, particularly CEO Hock Tan’s projection of $115 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2027 and a doubling to $230 billion by 2028—figures that exceeded expectations from analysts. Tan emphasized the company's strong partnerships with major tech firms like Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI. He also outlined plans to support customer deployments through new funding mechanisms.
