Let’s see how things have shaped up for Broadcom prior to this announcement:

Factors to Consider

Broadcom’s top-line growth is expected to have benefited from strong demand for its networking solutions due to the rapid adoption of generative AI. This is expected to have driven networking’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

VMware’s addition is expected to have driven top-line growth in the fiscal first quarter. VMware’s strong partner base, which includes the likes of NVIDIA, is noteworthy.

However, challenging macroeconomic conditions are expected to have hurt Broadcom’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
