Broadcom Sinks as CEO Becomes Defensive on AI Opportunity -- Should Investors Buy the Dip?

Broadcom shares fell despite another strong quarter of AI revenue growth. However, its CEO got defensive when asked about the AI market opportunity he touted only six months ago. Still, the company is only at the beginning of its custom AI chip opportunity. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom › Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) once again reported robust artificial intelligence (AI) revenue growth in its fiscal second-quarter results released this week, with promises that the strong revenue growth would continue. The stock slipped despite an upbeat outlook, although it remains up more than 75% over the past year. Let's take a closer look at Broadcom's most recent results and the AI opportunity in front of it to see whether investors should buy this small dip. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan initially got investors excited back in December 2024 when he talked about the company having a $60 billion to $90 billion serviceable addressable market (SAM) opportunity in fiscal year 2027 with its three largest hyperscale (meaning they operate huge data centers) customers. However, when asked whether its SAM had increased, Tan told analysts he's "not playing the SAM game" and to "stop talking about SAM now." It was an unusual and defensive response from an executive who, only six months ago, was hyping Broadcom's SAM opportunity. However, Tan had said earlier that he anticipates Broadcom's current AI semiconductor revenue growth to sustain into fiscal 2026 after projecting it would grow by 60% to $5.1 billion in fiscal Q3. As one analyst on the call pointed out, that would imply $30 billion or more in AI semiconductor revenue in fiscal 2026. Much of Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue growth is currently coming from its networking portfolio, particularly Ethernet switches. The company said its AI networking revenue surged by 170% year over year and represented 40% of its AI revenue. Perhaps, the bigger opportunity, though, is in custom AI chips. The company stated that custom AI chip revenue rose by double digits in the quarter and that it expects demand in the back half of 2026 to accelerate as inference demand surges. This is most likely coming from Alphabet, which was Broadcom's first customer for custom AI chips. However, the company said it still expects its three largest custom chip customers to each deploy 1 million AI chip clusters in 2027, mostly for training foundational AI models. Turning to Broadcom's results, its overall revenue climbed 20% year over year to $15 billion in the quarter, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) soared 44% to $1.58 (adjusting for its prior 10-for-1 stock split). The results edged past analyst expectations for adjusted EPS of $1.56 on revenue of $14.99 billion, as compiled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), meanwhile, surged 67% year over year to $10 billion. AI-related revenue jumped 46% year over year to $4.4 billion. Total semiconductor solutions revenue rose 17% year over year to $8.4 billion, as the recovery in its non-AI chip revenue continues to be slow. Infrastructure software revenue, meanwhile, increased by 25% to $6.6 billion. The company credited the growth to strong sales of its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform and the transition of customers to subscription models. Its VCF platform helps customers create hybrid and multicloud environments, giving them the flexibility to manage workloads across both public clouds and their own on-premise data centers. Approximately 87% of VMware's top 10,000 customers have now adopted its VCF platform. Broadcom continues to generate strong cash flow, with cash flow from operations coming in at nearly $6.6 billion and free cash flow of $6.4 billion. It ended the quarter with nearly $9.5 billion in cash and equivalents and $67.3 billion in debt after buying back $4.2 billion worth of shares in the quarter. Its debt is a result of its $69 billion acquisition of VMware in 2023. Looking ahead, Broadcom forecasts fiscal Q3 revenue to increase by 21% to $15.8 billion, with semiconductor revenue rising 25% to $9.1 billion and infrastructure software revenue increasing 16% to $6.7 billion. It expects adjusted EBITDA to be about 66% of revenue, or about $10.4 billion. Broadcom continues to see strong AI revenue growth, led by its networking portfolio. But the best opportunity may still be in front of the company, with its custom AI chips. Only Alphabet is truly ramped up, and it has a huge opportunity with other customers. Now, Tan's sudden reluctance to talk about Broadcom's AI semiconductor SAM is disappointing, and the extent to which China's ByteDance -- one of its suspected in-progress large AI chip customers -- and the new Chinese export controls might have on that is unknown. Still, he did not back down from the growth of the company's three large hyperscale customers or that they plan to each deploy 1 million AI chip clusters in 2027. He also still has Apple as well as other customers that aren't quite as far along, which should also power growth in later years. From a valuation perspective, Broadcom now trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 31.5, based on fiscal 2026 analyst estimates, and a price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) of less than 0.4. Stocks with PEG ratios below 1 are generally considered undervalued. Given the growth opportunities still in front of it, I think investors can use this price dip to start building positions. The biggest risk would be a slowdown in spending on AI infrastructure, but we still appear to be in the early innings.

Is this the Tesla stock buying opportunity I've been waiting for?

Down by 22% in little over a week, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) sometimes seems to be behaving more like a penny share than a company worth almost $900bn that last year had a revenue close to $100bn. Still, I have been eyeing Tesla stock as a possible addition to my portfolio for a while already – so could this latest crash offer me the sort of buying opportunity I have been hoping for? My answer depends on the price, something I will get into below. First, though, I ought to explain why I like the idea of owning some Tesla stock at all. The company is barely more than two decades old. But it has already built up a massive global manufacturing and sales footprint for its electric vehicles. Sales volumes declined slightly last year (and that decline has accelerated this year), but remain substantial. I think Tesla's recent history points to two important factors. First, it is a serious contender in the electric vehicle space. That is a competitive area and Tesla risks rivals like BYD leaving it behind, but it has strengths such as proprietary technology, a vertically integrated business model and unique designs. A second point also jumps out at me from Tesla's development. It has demonstrated expertise not only in imagining new products, but in bringing them to market at scale and quickly. It is doing the same now with its power storage division, which, unlike the car business, had a very strong first quarter. Such expertise could help Tesla capitalize on some of the other ideas that sit somewhere between its drawing board and widespread real world use, from automated taxi fleets to robotics. That matters because, seen purely as a car company, Tesla stock would look wildly overvalued to me. As far as I am concerned, the only possible justification for the current valuation, let alone a higher one, is the potential of the company's plans beyond the electric car business. That, however, is where I start to have serious concerns about valuation, even after the recent crash in Tesla stock. While the power storage business is growing quickly, even taken together with the car business I do not think the joint valuation ought to be anywhere close to $900bn. Meanwhile, the other ideas are highly speculative for now – it remains to be seen when they are commercialized at scale, if they ever are. So I think it is hard to justify anything more than a fairly modest valuation for them at this point, no matter how large the long-term potential may seem to be. Taken as the sum of the parts, I do not think Tesla is worth anything like its market capitalization. So, although the share is cheaper than a couple of weeks back, it is still far too expensive for me to consider buying yet.
