Broadcom expects third-quarter revenue of $5.75 billion, give or take $150 million, just below consensus of $5.78 billion in the upcoming quarter.
"Our third-quarter guidance for semiconductors reflects a surge in demand from cloud, telecom and enterprise customers, offset by supply chain constraints and an expected substantial reset," the company said.

Semiconductor solutions, its core business, fell 2% to $4.03 billion, while infrastructure software fell 21% to $1.72 billion.
