Structures verification of custom-AI chip vendor earnings headlines into a finance and supply-chain checklist. The workflow separates consolidated revenue and EPS beats from AI semiconductor sub-segment growth, full-year AI revenue guidance (raised vs reiterated), and infrastructure software shortfalls cited in the same report. It references CNBC reporting on June 3, 2026 that Broadcom's fiscal Q2 revenue was $22.19 billion versus $22.27 billion estimated (48% YoY), adjusted EPS $2.44 vs $2.40, AI semiconductor revenue $10.8 billion (more than doubled YoY), Q3 revenue guidance about $29.4 billion vs $28.53 billion expected, infrastructure software revenue $7.18 billion vs $7.32 billion expected, CEO Hock Tan reiterating AI semiconductor revenue in excess of $100 billion in fiscal 2027 without raising the 2026 forecast, naming six core custom-chip customers including Anthropic, Google, Meta, and OpenAI, and saying Broadcom would offer chips only rather than complete integrated AI systems—without treating media figures as procurement commitments.
Use cases
- Procurement teams interpret a hyperscaler custom-chip partner's earnings miss as capacity risk
- Finance compares reiterated $100B+ FY27 AI guidance against internal GPU/ASIC budgets
- Strategy maps named customers (Google TPU, Meta, OpenAI) to your multi-vendor routing plan
- Legal reviews 'chips only' vs integrated-system shifts in vendor statements
- Investor relations needs sourced context on software drag vs AI hardware strength
Key features
- Extract revenue, EPS, segment splits (semiconductor solutions vs infrastructure software), and guidance from the CNBC URL.
- Record AI semiconductor revenue actuals, YoY growth, and next-quarter AI revenue outlook separately from consolidated totals.
- Capture whether management raised, cut, or reiterated multi-year AI revenue targets.
- List customer names and product-strategy shifts (chips-only) as qualitative context, not confirmed allocations.
- Map implications to your contracts, lead times, and alternative suppliers.
- Publish a memo: verified facts, guidance caveats, and retest triggers (10-Q, next earnings, customer capex filings).
When to Use This Skill
- After CNBC earnings stories on custom AI chip vendors with mixed software/hardware results
- Before revising ASIC/TPU capacity assumptions from a single after-hours move
- When finance debates FY27 $100B-class guidance versus near-term quarterly AI ramps
Expected Output
Custom-AI semiconductor earnings due-diligence memo separating chip-segment facts from software misses and long-range guidance rhetoric.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this predict Broadcom's stock direction?
- No—it structures CNBC-reported earnings for internal planning; investment decisions stay outside this skill.
- Can we treat $100B FY27 AI revenue as our forecast?
- Record it as reiterated management guidance in media coverage; validate against issuer filings.
- How does this differ from public-equity financing due diligence?
- Financing skills track equity raises; this skill tracks quarterly earnings and AI semiconductor segment disclosure.

Agentic AI orchestration efficiency claims due diligence
Turns CEO and vendor narratives about agentic AI efficiency into a procurement and strategy checklist. The workflow separates quoted efficiency metrics (for example token- or energy-per-user framing) from product launch facts, orchestration architecture claims, and third-party valuation context in the same article. It references CNBC reporting on June 3, 2026 that Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas told CNBC's Elaine Yu the long-term AI winner will maximize what he called the "most taken value per watt per user" by balancing accuracy, latency, cost, privacy, and intelligence; that Perplexity is emphasizing agentic orchestration with Perplexity Computer (announced February) and Personal Computer on Windows (announced the prior Tuesday, with Mac already available); that Srinivas said Personal Computer routes processing between device and cloud; that Perplexity was last reportedly valued at $20 billion versus Anthropic near $1 trillion and OpenAI just over $850 billion with Anthropic confidentially filing for a U.S. IPO that week; and that Srinivas cited tripled annualized revenue since the start of the year tied to integrated Anthropic model improvements—without treating media valuations or CEO efficiency slogans as internal benchmarks.
AI subscription monetization claims due diligence
Converts consumer-AI subscription announcements into a planning checklist for product, finance, and partnerships teams. The workflow separates test-market scope (countries, price tiers, free-tier continuity) from analyst revenue extrapolations and capex guidance cited in the same news cycle. It references CNBC reporting on May 30, 2026 that Meta will test Meta AI subscriptions at $7.99 and $19.99 per month starting next month in Singapore, Guatemala, and Bolivia while keeping a free tier; that nearly 98% of Meta's $56.3 billion Q1 revenue still came from ads; Zuckerberg said a cloud business is "definitely on the table"; Meta raised 2026 AI capex guidance to $125–$145 billion; and Wolfe Research analysts estimated subscriptions could reach about $3 billion in 2027 revenue growing to $16 billion by 2030—without treating media projections as internal forecasts.
Public equity AI infrastructure financing due diligence
Structures verification of public-company AI infrastructure financing headlines into a finance and strategy checklist. The workflow separates announced equity program components (underwritten offerings, at-the-market programs, private placements) from previously disclosed capex guidance and debt-market context cited in the same coverage. It references CNBC reporting on June 1, 2026 that Alphabet plans to sell $80 billion in stock—including a $10 billion Berkshire Hathaway private placement—to fund AI compute infrastructure while stating demand exceeds available supply; that Alphabet revised 2026 capex guidance to $180–$190 billion (up from $175–$185 billion); CEO Sundar Pichai cited compute capacity constraints; CNBC noted hyperscaler combined capex expectations above $700 billion in 2026 and prior Alphabet bond issuances—without treating media capex totals as your internal budget.
