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

Factors to Consider

Broadcom’s top line is expected to have benefited from strong demand for its networking solutions and PON fiber as well as for cable modems in the broadband market.

The strong adoption of Broadcom’s server storage solutions by hyperscalers is expected to have driven top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

The robust adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E for access gateways, courtesy of solid demand from homes, enterprises, telcos and other service providers, is expected to have contributed to revenue growth across the broadband end market in the fiscal third quarter.

Acceleration in 5G deployment, production ramp-up and increase in radio frequency content are expected to have driven top-line growth.
