    Broadcom Q2 AI Semiconductor Sales Surge 143% to $10.8B, Targets $16B in Q3

    Question

    Broadcom Q2 AI Semiconductor Sales Surge 143% to $10.8B, Targets $16B in Q3

    Direct answer

    Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue expanded to $10.8 billion in Q2 fiscal 2026, marking a 143% year-over-year increase. The surge reflects growing hyperscaler investment in specialized custom application-specific integrated circuits (XPUs) across six primary AI cloud clients. For the upcoming third quarter, Broadcom guided AI semiconductor revenue to approximately $16.0 billion. The outlook underscores strong demand for custom silicon accelerators, even as merchant GPU vendors broaden their enterprise footprint.
