    May 16, 2026, 4:30 PM EDT. Broadcom (AVGO) shares have surged about 36% since April 6, outpacing the S&P 500's 12.5% gain. The rally followed the company's extended partnerships with Google, Anthropic, and Meta, plus the launch of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1, enhancing AI-focused infrastructure. Semiconductor sector optimism grew after Intel's earnings. Despite some legal fines in South Korea and signs of crowded trading per UBS analysts, broad market enthusiasm for AI-driven growth persists. Analysts at Wells Fargo and TD Cowen have recently raised their price targets ahead of Broadcom's Q2 earnings on June 3. Wells Fargo's Aaron Rakers, noted for a strong track record, models AI chip demand tied to hyperscale data center power capacity, underscoring Broadcom's advantage in the booming AI silicon market.
