Hock Tan Reaffirmed Broadcom's $100 Billion AI Forecast. Six Customers Carry Nearly All of It.
The AI target looks more achievable every quarter -- and almost all of it rests on six buyers.
Overview
When Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) reported fiscal second-quarter results in early June, CEO Hock Tan repeated the biggest number in the company's story. Broadcom, he told analysts on the earnings call, still expects fiscal 2027 AI semiconductor revenue "in excess of $100 billion." For perspective, the company's total revenue over the past 12 months (enterprise software included) was about $75 billion.
The growth behind that target isn't in doubt. Artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion in the fiscal second quarter of 2026 (the period ended May 3, 2026), up 143% year over year.

What's less settled is who all that money comes from. Tan says six core custom-chip customers drive the business, and to me, that customer count is the number worth studying before paying today's price for the stock.
