Broadcom's stock has seen notable gains following what is perceived as a very bullish outlook for the company's AI revenue over the next three years. The optimism is largely attributed to Broadcom's custom silicon business, which is expected to grow at least three to four times within this period. The last twelve months' AI sales reached $12.2 billion, not including potential revenue from two new custom silicon customers. This growth is contrasted with mid-single-digit growth projections for non-AI semiconductor sales.
In other recent news, Broadcom Limited has been the focus of various financial firms who have raised their price targets citing the company's strong growth trajectory in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
