The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Broadcom’s fiscal fourth-quarter Semiconductor revenues is pegged at $7.995 billion, indicating growth of 9.1% year over year.

Strong Clientele, Rich Partner Base Aids AVGO’s Q4 Results

A solid portfolio is helping AVGO expand its clientele, which includes Alphabet GOOGL and Meta Platforms META.

Alphabet is one of the largest customers of Broadcom’s application-specific integrated chips (ASICs). These chips are designed to support AI and machine learning and make these tasks more efficient. Meta Platforms has also become an important customer as it is using AVGO’s ASICs to develop Metaverse hardware.

Its strong partner base, including Comcast CMCSA, Charter Communications, Microsoft, Arista Networks, Dell Technologies, Juniper and Supermicro, has been a key catalyst.

Broadcom is collaborating with Comcast and Charter to develop Unified DOCSIS chipsets for network nodes, smart amps and cable modems. This will enable both FDX and ESD versions of the DOCSIS 4.0 specification to deliver upward of 25 Gbps speeds over existing networks.

In the to-be-reported quarter, Broadcom and Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Systems expanded their long-term partnership. T-Systems is now a VMware Cloud Service Provider Pinnacle tier partner.
