    Broadcom Q3 AI Chip Revenue Rises 221% to $16.7B Despite Guidance-Led Dip

    Question

    Broadcom Q3 AI Chip Revenue Rises 221% to $16.7B Despite Guidance-Led Dip

    Direct answer

    Broadcom delivered 85% revenue growth in Q3, led by custom AI accelerators and networking silicon where revenue reached $16.7 billion (+221% YoY). However, AVGO shares fell nearly 3% following Q4 forward guidance that failed to clear peak buy-side expectations. The post-earnings reaction extends AVGO's 15% one-month pullback. Research analysts point to customer concentration across major hyperscalers as a key driver of quarterly guidance volatility, even as networking and custom ASIC design pipelines remain active.
