Overview
- Broadcom reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of about $16 billion, with AI semiconductor sales of roughly $5.2 billion, and guided Q4 AI revenue to around $6.2 billion with total revenue near $17.4 billion.
- The company disclosed a $10 billion AI infrastructure order from a new customer, with outside reports attributing the buyer to OpenAI though Broadcom has not confirmed the identity.
- Independent directors approved a performance stock unit award for Hock Tan on Sept. 3 that vests only if AI revenue exceeds thresholds between fiscal 2028 and 2030, ranging from no payout at $60 billion to a maximum at $120 billion in any four consecutive quarters.
- Tan agreed to remain CEO through at least 2030, aligning his tenure with the award’s vesting period, as Broadcom intensifies its push into custom AI accelerators and high‑performance networking.
- Shares climbed to fresh records near $370, lifting market value above $1.5 trillion, as analysts raised targets and estimates and some flagged overbought technical readings following the rally.
