Jensen Quality Growth Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
“During the quarter, the Quality Growth Investment Team initiated new positions in Amazon (AMZN), Broadcom (AVGO), and Motorola Solutions (MSI). Broadcom is a global technology company that designs and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions that are foundational to modern cloud, enterprise, and telecom networks. Broadcom’s strategic position in AI infrastructure is another major competitive advantage for the company. The company is emerging as a core supplier in the global AI build-out. Its custom AI accelerators and systems are co-developed with leading hyperscalers, while its high speed Ethernet switches, routers, and optical components form the fabric connecting large AI clusters. This gives Broadcom exposure to several structural growth drivers at once: AI compute, high-bandwidth networking, and the migration of AI infrastructure toward Ethernet based fabrics.
Broadcom has meaningfully upgraded its business quality while securing a central role in the build-out of global AI infrastructure. Given the improved visibility, better mix, and strong alignment between management incentives and long-term AI outcomes, we view Broadcom as an attractive long-duration compounder and a suitable addition to the Quality Growth Strategy at this stage.”
