Broadcom Exceeds Earnings Expectations and Raises Revenue Forecast
Broadcom reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter, beating analyst expectations for revenue and profit. The company posted quarterly revenue of $15.95 billion, up 22% compared to the same period last year.
Broadcom's net income for the quarter was $4.14 billion on a GAAP basis, and $8.40 billion on a non-GAAP basis. The company generated $7.02 billion in free cash flow, representing 44% of its revenue. Broadcom also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share.
Looking ahead, Broadcom forecasted revenue of approximately $17.4 billion for its fourth quarter, an increase of 24% year-over-year. This outlook is higher than analysts had predicted. The strong forecast is supported by increased demand for Broadcom’s custom AI chips as more companies invest in data centers and machine learning.
Despite the positive report and raised guidance, Broadcom's stock showed volatility following the announcement.
Even when a company reports strong results, stock prices can fluctuate due to investor reactions, profit-taking, or market conditions.
Broadcom's growth is being driven by demand for its custom AI chips, as many businesses are investing in technologies like data centers and machine learning.
The dividend means Broadcom will pay shareholders $0.59 per share for the quarter.
