CNBC reported on June 3, 2026 that Broadcom shares slid in extended trading after fiscal second-quarter results that narrowly missed revenue expectations while adjusted earnings beat, and after CEO Hock Tan left the company’s full-year AI semiconductor sales outlook unchanged.
Headline numbers
- Revenue was $22.19 billion versus LSEG estimates of $22.27 billion, up 48% year over year, CNBC said.
- Adjusted EPS was $2.44 versus $2.40 expected.
- Net income rose 88% to $9.31 billion.
- Current-quarter revenue guidance was about $29.4 billion versus $28.53 billion expected.
AI semiconductor vs software
- AI semiconductor revenue more than doubled annually to $10.8 billion and is expected to triple in the current quarter to $16 billion, per CNBC.
- Semiconductor solutions revenue was $15.1 billion, above a StreetAccount estimate of $14.72 billion, driven by custom AI chips including Google’s tensor processing unit.
- Infrastructure software revenue was $7.18 billion, up 9% annually but below the $7.32 billion expected, reflecting VMware-related sales.
Guidance and strategy
- Tan did not raise Broadcom’s full-year AI semiconductor sales target while reiterating guidance for AI semiconductor revenue in excess of $100 billion in fiscal 2027, CNBC reported—contributing to the after-hours decline.
- Tan said Broadcom has six core custom-chip customers, including Anthropic, Google, Meta, and OpenAI, that bookings are not for immediate delivery, and that the company would offer chips only rather than complete integrated AI systems.
