Broadcom (AVGO) Draws Investor Interest Amid AI Growth Expectations

Separately, on February 10, UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri reiterated a Buy rating and maintained a $475 price target on Broadcom. Arcuri cited accelerating demand for Broadcom’s custom AI chip products, specifically its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). For that reason, he projected that Broadcom will ship approximately 3.7 million TPU units in calendar year 2026, and expects the shipment to rise to more than 5 million units in calendar year 2027.

On the product roadmap, Arcuri noted that more than half of 2027 shipments will be the TPU v7 model. The next-generation TPU v8ax will take over as the majority of shipments in 2028, the analyst added.

Based on those shipment projections, UBS now forecasts Broadcom’s total AI revenue will reach approximately $60 billion in FY2026, a roughly 200% year over year increase. This revenue will then grow further to about $106 billion in FY2027, which is an additional 80% year over year, and reaching around $150 billion by FY2028.
