    Broadcom Custom ASIC AI Revenue Projected at $58B in FY26 and $230B by FY28

    Question

    Broadcom Custom ASIC AI Revenue Projected at $58B in FY26 and $230B by FY28

    Direct answer

    Broadcom is scaling custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) development for tier-one cloud service providers. With AI revenue targeted at $58 billion in fiscal 2026 and scaling toward $230 billion by fiscal 2028, proprietary accelerators represent an expanding share of enterprise data center deployments. The economic driver centers on workload efficiency: custom ASICs achieve a 40% to 60% reduction in inference operational costs compared to general-purpose GPUs. This margin differential reinforces hyperscaler multi-year commitments to customized silicon platforms. — bullish pressure on AVGO.
