Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)
Main revenue sources: (1) AI Semiconductors: custom XPUs/TPUs and AI networking (Ethernet switches, PCIe, CPO/optics, Jericho fabrics). AI contribution: direct and dominant; $10.8B in Q2 (~49% of total), accelerating with multi‑gigawatt customer ramps. (2) Non‑AI Semiconductors: broadband, wireless, server storage, enterprise networking. AI contribution: minimal. (3) Infrastructure Software (VMware/VCF): subscription/ARR. AI contribution: indirect; VCF 9.1 supports AI inferencing and benefits from AI‑driven server demand. Overall, AI is already near half of revenue and rising rapidly, warranting a high AI revenue rating.
