On July 6, Reuters reported that Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) expanded its partnership with Apple through 2031 to develop and supply custom chips. It extends a relationship that analysts estimate generates about 20% of Broadcom’s annual revenue.

The report said the agreement eased investor concerns that Apple would replace the semiconductor firm’s components with in-house alternatives. It also reinforces the company’s role as a key supplier of radio frequency, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and networking chips.

Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said the deal gives Apple higher supply chain certainty during chip shortages. The contract also provides Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) with reassurance as Apple develops its own silicon.

Reuters noted the companies signed a multibillion-dollar agreement in 2023 for 5G radio frequency components. It said that rising AI inference demand has intensified competition for custom chips and advanced processors.
