What happened

Broadcom (AVGO) stock rose 2.8% on Tuesday after AI chip sales jumped 221% to $16.7 billion and guidance called for $115 billion in fiscal 2027, $230 billion by fiscal 2028. The chips are custom-built processors that power AI data centers for major buyers including Google, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic. Broadcom's total revenue for the quarter climbed 86% to $29.6 billion, and profit per share beat Wall Street's estimate. The company said next quarter should be even bigger, with AI chip sales projected to hit $21.7 billion, up 236% from a year ago.

Why it matters

Broadcom is one of the biggest suppliers of the custom chips that power AI data centers, so its numbers show how much big tech is really spending on AI. The new $115 billion and $230 billion targets suggest that spending keeps accelerating through 2028, not slowing as some investors feared. That matters for anyone holding tech or chip stocks, since it points to more orders ahead, though analysts still question customer concentration and payoff risk.
