    Broadcom Targets $230B Annual AI Revenue by Fiscal 2028

    Question

    Broadcom Targets $230B Annual AI Revenue by Fiscal 2028

    Direct answer

    Broadcom leadership issued long-term guidance projecting $230 billion in annual AI semiconductor revenue by fiscal year 2028. CEO Hock Tan framed the forecast around expanding custom XPUs, optical interconnects, and hyperscaler networking silicon agreements. Achieving the multi-year target would require more than tripling Broadcom's existing AI product volume. The projection underlines sustained capital expenditure by cloud platform operators seeking power-efficient, custom-designed ASICs to supplement merchant GPU clusters. — bullish pressure on TSM.
