“Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), another top contributor in AI infrastructure, has benefited from hyperscalers’ interest in a second source behind NVIDIA’s merchant silicon. The semiconductor company leads in custom silicon development, offering lower cost and better efficiency for specific workloads that don’t require maximum performance GPUs. The market also continues to evolve as custom silicon has gained share relative to merchant chips. Broadcom’s leadership position makes it a clear beneficiary of this shift.”
