Why Broadcom stock is jumping today: AI revenues and 2026 capex
1. Strong AI quarter still driving the narrative
Several of today’s articles point back to Broadcom’s blowout Q3 FY 2025 earnings, which underscored how deeply embedded the company is in the AI build‑out:
- Q3 revenue: about $16.0 billion, up 22% year over year, beating consensus. Futurum
- Semiconductor solutions: roughly $9.2 billion, up 26%.
- Infrastructure software (including VMware): about $6.8 billion, up 17%. Futurum
- AI semiconductor revenue: around $5.2 billion, up 63% year over year, marking the 10th straight quarter of AI growth. Futurum
- Free cash flow: roughly $7.0 billion, up sharply from $4.8 billion a year earlier. Futurum
A detailed post‑earnings breakdown from Futurum Group and more mainstream coverage today both stress that Broadcom is now a core supplier of custom AI accelerators and networking to hyperscalers, with more than $10 billion in new AI chip orders from a major customer helping to secure future growth. Futurum
2. MarketBeat/Finviz: “best catalyst may be hiding in 2026 forecasts”
An in‑depth piece on MarketBeat titled “Broadcom’s Best Catalyst Yet Might Be Hiding in 2026 Forecasts” is one of today’s most widely‑circulated AVGO articles. MarketBeat
Key takeaways:
- Research from CreditSights (part of Fitch) suggests hyperscaler capex could ramp significantly in 2026, particularly for AI infrastructure.
- The article notes that when Broadcom last updated its AI total addressable market (SAM), the stock jumped more than 20% the next day; a future SAM upgrade could be a major upside catalyst again. MarketBeat
- Despite recent volatility and a roughly 10% pullback from the late‑October high near $386, AVGO has still outperformed the broader semiconductor group in 2025. MarketBeat
The same piece also shows AVGO at about $370.50 (+8.9%) as of mid‑morning, with: MarketBeat
- 52‑week high: $386.48
- Dividend yield: 0.64%
- TTM P/E: ~94.5
- Average Street price target: about $374
That aligns closely with live price data and reinforces the idea that today’s move is fundamentally an AI story, with investors looking past near‑term volatility toward the 2026 spending cycle.
3. Broader AI enthusiasm returns after volatility
Recent IBD and other AI‑sector coverage noted that AI chip names, including Broadcom, were whipsawed last week as Nvidia’s earnings sparked a brief rally that quickly faded amid “AI bubble” worries. Investors
Today’s 8%+ surge for AVGO, accompanied by heavy volume, is being read as a sign that buy‑the‑dip demand is still strong whenever AI fundamentals come back into focus.
New product news today: quantum‑safe SAN and Wi‑Fi 8 ecosystem
Beyond macro AI themes, Broadcom released two notable product‑side headlines today, both tied directly to high‑performance connectivity and AI‑ready infrastructure.
1. Quantum‑safe Gen 8 128G SAN switch portfolio
StorageNewsletter reports that Broadcom has launched the world’s first “quantum‑safe” Gen 8 128G Fibre Channel SAN switch portfolio, including the Brocade X8 Directors and Brocade G820 56‑port switch. StorageNewsletter
Highlights from the announcement:
- These are described as the first 128G FC platforms designed for mission‑critical workloads and enterprise AI applications.
- The Brocade Gen 8 line is marketed as protecting storage in the “quantum era” and automating SAN management via embedded SAN AI technology.
- The idea is to provide higher bandwidth, better security and AI‑driven automation for data‑center storage as AI workloads scale.
This dovetails with recent coverage from Investor’s Business Daily that already flagged Broadcom’s Gen 8 storage networking as a differentiator for AI‑heavy data centers, especially as Nvidia and hyperscalers push toward more advanced architectures. Investors
2. Wi‑Fi 8 collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz
In electronics trade press, Rohde & Schwarz and Broadcom jointly announced a deepened collaboration to test and validate next‑generation Wi‑Fi 8 (802.11bn) chipsets using the R&S CMP180 radio communication tester. ELE Times
The article notes that:
- Wi‑Fi 8 aims to deliver higher throughput, lower latency and better performance in congested environments, supporting XR, AI‑assisted applications, real‑time cloud gaming and ultra‑HD streaming.
- The CMP180‑based solution is positioned as an end‑to‑end platform for Wi‑Fi 8 device testing, from R&D through mass production.
- The collaboration is meant to ensure “ultra‑high reliability” for Wi‑Fi 8 devices, a key requirement for AI‑driven and latency‑sensitive workloads.
Neither of these product stories moves earnings overnight, but together they reinforce Broadcom’s role as a full‑stack enabler of AI infrastructure — from AI accelerators and Ethernet to quantum‑safe storage and next‑gen wireless.
Institutional buying and HSBC’s higher price target
A big chunk of today’s AVGO news flow comes from institutional filings and analyst updates that support the bullish narrative.
1. HSBC lifts price target to $535, maintains Buy
MarketScreener/MT Newswires reports that HSBC raised its Broadcom price target from $400 to $535 while reiterating a Buy rating this morning. MarketScreener
That new target implies meaningful upside from current levels and lands well above the roughly $374 consensus tracked by MarketBeat and MarketWatch. MarketBeat
Independent coverage from Finbold this weekend also highlighted that, based on TipRanks data, AVGO carries a “Strong Buy” consensus rating with 29 Buy ratings and only 2 Holds out of 31 analysts. Finbold
2. Multiple institutions boosting AVGO holdings
Several 13F‑style headlines dated November 24, 2025 show big investors adding to Broadcom:
- Jefferies Financial Group Inc. boosted its AVGO position by more than 1,100% in Q2, according to a MarketBeat alert. MarketBeat
- Quadcap Wealth Management, Coldstream Capital Management and Waterloo Capital L.P. each reported double‑digit percentage increases in their Broadcom stakes, making AVGO a significant portfolio position. MarketBeat
- A separate MarketBeat note says Prudential Financial counts Broadcom as its 8th‑largest holding, underscoring the stock’s status as a core institutional name. MarketBeat
Taken together, these filings paint a picture of large, long‑only money steadily accumulating AVGO, even as valuation multiples remain elevated.
Long‑term performance: AVGO as a mega‑cap AI compounder
A Yahoo Finance feature published today calculates that Broadcom shareholders have earned roughly a 57% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years, turning a relatively modest investment into nearly a 10‑bagger over that period. Yahoo Finance
Other recent pieces — including a Forbes column “Is Broadcom Stock Winning?” and 247WallSt’s “Wall Street Loves Broadcom, Nvidia and CoreWeave” — emphasize that Broadcom has: Forbes
- More than doubled since the early AI boom.
- Outperformed many chip peers in 2025, even after some AI‑sector shake‑outs.
- Evolved into a top‑tier AI infrastructure provider, not just a traditional networking or handset chip vendor.
For income‑oriented investors, sites like Dividend.com and GuruFocus highlight that Broadcom has increased its dividend for about 15 consecutive years, with double‑digit dividend growth in recent years, even though the current yield around 0.6–0.7% is modest by income standards. Dividend
VMware integration and EU regulatory overhang
While most of today’s headlines are positive, it’s worth remembering that Broadcom still faces regulatory friction in Europe related to its $61–69 billion acquisition of VMware.
A Reuters report this summer described how CISPE, an EU cloud provider group, has challenged the European Commission’s approval of the VMware deal in EU court, alleging that Broadcom’s new licensing terms are unfair and impact “almost every European organisation using cloud technology.” Reuters
- The European Commission says it will defend its decision.
- Broadcom “strongly disagrees” with the allegations and argues the deal was cleared after a thorough review; it has pledged to uphold its commitments. Reuters
Although this legal challenge is not new today, it remains a key medium‑term risk that investors must weigh against Broadcom’s AI‑driven growth and today’s bullish sentiment.
Is Broadcom stock too expensive after today’s spike?
Even bullish commentators concede that AVGO isn’t cheap:
- Trailing P/E: various data providers put Broadcom’s TTM P/E in the mid‑80s to mid‑90s, down from above 180 at the end of 2024 but still rich versus the broader market. Yahoo Finance
- Forward P/E: around 36x, implying investors are willing to pay a high multiple for projected earnings growth in 2025–2026. Yahoo Finance
- EBITDA margin: near 49%, with EBITDA around $32–33 billion, indicating very high profitability. TradingView
Analyst‑average targets in the mid‑$370s to low‑$400s suggest limited upside over the next 12 months if everything simply goes to plan — even as some outliers like HSBC now see fair value above $500. MarketScreener
Today’s rally, then, looks like the market re‑rating AVGO off the lows of last week, not a fundamental re‑set of long‑term expectations.
What today’s news means for AVGO investors
Putting all of November 24, 2025’s Broadcom stock news together:
Positives
- AI engine is firing: record Q3 revenue, 63% AI chip growth and a growing backlog of custom accelerator orders anchor the bullish case. Futurum
- 2026 could be even bigger: new analysis of hyperscaler capex plans suggests the AI infrastructure boom may re‑accelerate in 2026, and a fresh AI SAM update from Broadcom could be a powerful catalyst. MarketBeat
- Innovative product pipeline: today’s quantum‑safe Gen 8 SAN switches and Wi‑Fi 8 testing collaboration show Broadcom investing across the stack — storage, networking and wireless — for AI‑era workloads. StorageNewsletter
- Institutional and Wall Street support: major asset managers are adding to AVGO, while most analysts maintain Buy or Strong Buy ratings and, in HSBC’s case, are raising price targets. MarketBeat
- Outstanding long‑term returns: a five‑year CAGR near 57% underlines Broadcom’s track record as a long‑term compounder. Yahoo Finance
Risks
- Valuation is demanding: a TTM P/E in the 80s–90s and forward multiple in the mid‑30s leave less room for error if AI or cloud demand slows. Yahoo Finance
- EU regulatory uncertainty around VMware could pressure the software business, margins, or pricing flexibility in Europe. Reuters
- AI‑cycle volatility: as IBD and others have pointed out, AI leaders like Broadcom and Nvidia can swing sharply on changing sentiment about an AI “bubble,” even when fundamentals are strong. Investors
For now, November 24, 2025 looks like a “risk‑on” day for AVGO, with the market choosing to focus on:
- explosive AI revenue growth,
- favorable 2026 spending expectations, and
- tangible new hardware launches,
rather than on legal overhangs or valuation worries.
