The firm has reiterated its “Top Pick” status on Broadcom based on AI infrastructure momentum and expanding silicon footprint.

The fabless chip and software maker reported a top-and-bottom-line earnings beat. Besides strong results for the October quarter, the company also provided a modest raise for January quarter guidance.
