Alphabet-Marvell AI-chip expansion sends Broadcom down 10% — AVGO custom-silicon margins re-price
Question
Alphabet-Marvell AI-chip expansion sends Broadcom down 10% — AVGO custom-silicon margins re-price
Direct answer
Alphabet’s expanded Marvell partnership threatens Broadcom’s high-margin Google TPU design share, with AVGO already down 10% on the supplier-diversification read-through. The spread is invalidated if Broadcom confirms retained Google volumes or offsets the loss with equivalent ASIC wins at similar margins. — bearish pressure on AVGO.
