On Monday after the close Broadcom issued an 8-K outlining 2 longer termdevelopments for their TPU business.The first highlighted a new long term agreement forBroadcom to develop and supply future generations of TPUs as well as networking and othercomponents to Google through 2031 (5 years); the second noted an expanded collaboration Close Date6 Apr 2026AVGO Close Price (USD)314.43Price Target (USD)525.00Upside/(Downside)67%52-Week Range414.61/138.10SPX6,582.69FYEOctDiv Yield0.8%Market Cap (USD) (B)1,488.72EV (USD) (B)1,540.60 We caught up briefly with IR following the release.They indicated to us that 1) theGoogle LTA has revenue commitments that go along with it through the timeline, and 2) theAnthropic deal is consistent with, if not even a bit positively biased vs their prior commentary(which called for ~1 GW to Anthropic in 2026 and ~3 GW in 2027, now ticked up a bit), and The new 5-year Google agreement (which includes compute for both internal useand external customers) seems incremental to us,especially given all the nervousnessaround TPU competition, share etc, and given both the timeline and (albeit unspecified)revenue commitments that go along with it the news might help to further ease CoT fears, As an aside, Anthropic’s revenue growth continues to soar.While Broadcom notes thatAnthropic’s “consumption of expanded compute capacity is dependent on [their] continuedcommercial success,” they don’t seem to be having a problem with that now; Anthropic’s ownrelease notes annualized revenues now topping $30B, up >2x since just February(!) and up Recall that AVGO guided to FY27 AI revenues of ~$100B. We believe this numberis looking increasingly light.The company had suggested close to 10GW of AI capacityshipping in FY27 (~3 from Anthropic, now more?); $100B would suggest ~10B per GW(which feels low to us; Anthropic alone seems like it could be approaching the $50B mark).We believe upside to numbers consequently feels likely (note that every ~$10B corresponds INVESTMENT IMPLICATIONS AVGO (Outperform, 525.00):A strong 2025 AI trajectory seems set to accelerate into 2026, bolstered by software, cashdeployment, and superb margins & FCF.
