Overview

Fresh research covering next-generation semiconductors proved to be a rising tide for the sector on Friday. Among the stocks benefiting was custom chip specialist Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO); it closed that trading session 1.2% higher, easily topping the 0.4% increase of the bellwether S&P 500 index.

It's behind only ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker Nvidia.
