AI Chip Milestone Sparks Debate: Broadcom's announcement targeting one million 3D-stacked AI chips by 2027 has fueled intense discussion on social media, with shares dropping over 6% amid concerns it positions the firm deeper into compute competition. Traders note this raises the bar for execution, potentially pressuring connectivity revenues as customers diversify suppliers. Yet, the move underscores Broadcom's aggressive push into high-margin AI accelerators.
Bullish Revenue Forecasts Persist: Social media buzz highlights projections of AI revenue surging to $60 billion in fiscal 2026, doubling prior estimates, before climbing to $150 billion by 2028. Enthusiasts point to Broadcom's spot among top projected cash flow generators at nearly $49 billion for 2026, fueling optimism despite recent market AI fatigue. Institutional conviction remains strong, with the stock frequently cited in megacap growth rankings.
Earnings Watch Intensifies: With first-quarter results due March 4, chatter centers on potential beats after four straight quarters of surpassing expectations, with revenue eyed at $19.2 billion. Analysts and posters alike anticipate robust AI backlog fulfillment amid hyperscaler spending. Sentiment blends caution from the recent dip with excitement over sustained semiconductor demand.
