Why Broadcom Inc.’s (AVGO) Custom AI Silicon Growth Still Supports Its Estimate Story

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is one of the stocks with rising earnings estimates and fresh catalysts.

The stock has 31 upward EPS revisions and 10 downward revisions for the upcoming fiscal year over the last three months, while revenue estimates show 25 upward revisions and 13 downward revisions. The gross number of upward revisions is strong, though the downward revisions keep it below the cleaner names in the ranking.

On June 3, Broadcom reported fiscal second-quarter results and said AI semiconductor revenue rose 143% year over year to $10.8 billion, above its forecast. Management pointed to demand for custom AI accelerators and AI networking as the main drivers, keeping Broadcom tied to the hyperscaler buildout without relying solely on merchant GPUs. The catalyst is custom silicon adoption as large cloud customers look for workload-specific chips and networking systems to reduce bottlenecks in AI clusters. The estimate story remains supported by AI revenue growth, but the mixed revision profile suggests investors are also watching whether expectations have already moved ahead of near-term execution.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) designs semiconductor and infrastructure software products used across networking, broadband, wireless, storage, industrial, enterprise, and cloud markets.
