    Broadcom Q3 AI Chip Revenue Hits $16.7B but Q4 Outlook Drives 3% Dip

    Question

    Broadcom Q3 AI Chip Revenue Hits $16.7B but Q4 Outlook Drives 3% Dip

    Direct answer

    Broadcom delivered third-quarter fiscal results featuring an 85% top-line increase, anchored by $16.7 billion in AI semiconductor revenues, which climbed 221% compared to the prior year period. Despite top-line and bottom-line beats against published consensus benchmarks, the equity slid 3% immediately following the release. The drag was attributed to fourth-quarter revenue guidance coming in below aggressive buy-side expectations, extending AVGO's 30-day decline to 15%.
