Broadcom IncBroadcom's earnings will test if hyperscalers are still spending on custom AI accelerators, not just Nvidia's GPUs.
Broadcom Inc. is about to discover how hard it is to follow Nvidia, as the next big test for the AI trade on Wall Street is its upcoming quarterly earnings. Nvidia recently guided for about 70% revenue growth in the next fiscal year, well above estimates, signaling sustained high spending on AI infrastructure. That raises the stakes for Broadcom, which has positioned itself around specialized AI accelerators for large tech customers alongside networking solutions. Investors will watch for signs that hyperscalers are still spending on those custom processors, not just Nvidia's GPUs, a key question for the broader market. The S&P 500 is up nearly 13% this year at record levels, and Broadcom's results, along with upcoming U.S. jobs data, will be a major test for the rally. Broadcom doesn't need to match Nvidia's growth, but investors want proof that AI investment is broad enough to yield multiple winners in semiconductors.
