Broadcom in Numbers: Strong Q4 Results and an Even Stronger Outlook

December 15, 2025
With its latest quarterly results for fiscal year 2025, Broadcom once again demonstrated why it rightfully ranks among the most important technology companies today. All key metrics closely watched by investors recorded growth, and more importantly, the company’s management set an equally strong outlook for the beginning of the new year. How did the stock price react to this combination of fundamental factors? Broadcom in Numbers: Strong Q4 Results and an Even Stronger Outlook
Outperformance Across Key Metrics

In the fourth quarter, Broadcom achieved adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.95, comfortably surpassing analysts’ expectations surveyed by the London Stock Exchange Group. This figure was calculated on revenues that increased by 28% year over year to USD 18.02 billion, once again well above the analyst consensus. As a result, the company confirmed that its growth is not merely a reflection of the success of a single product line, but rather of a broader portfolio expansion toward data centers and artificial intelligence. An integral part of the quarterly figures is, of course, net income, which in this case increased year over year by 97% to USD 8.51 billion, highlighting a significant improvement in operating efficiency and a strong ability to monetize the growing demand for AI solutions.

Business Segmentation

During the earnings release, investors were naturally interested in which business segment contributed the most to the final profit. In Broadcom’s case, it was clearly the Semiconductor Solutions segment, which generated revenues of USD 11.07 billion, representing a 22% increase compared to the previous year. AI-related revenues within this segment alone rose by 74%, confirming that Broadcom’s semiconductor business is successfully shifting from traditional applications toward AI infrastructure.

Notable results were also delivered by the Infrastructure Software segment, including VMware, which reported revenues of USD 6.94 billion and year-over-year growth of 26%. This segment is exceptionally important for the company, as it provides stable, high-margin income that effectively complements the more cyclical semiconductor business.

Outlook for Q1

The outlook for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 is equally positive. During this period, the company expects to generate revenues of USD 19.1 billion, representing a 28% increase compared to the same period last year. [1] Management also confirmed that the primary driver of this growth will be AI solutions, with AI revenues alone expected to reach USD 8.2 billion in the first quarter.

Long-Term Visibility

Continuing with the company’s fundamental parameters, one of the most important signals for investors is the 18-month order backlog totaling USD 73 billion. This volume includes custom AI chips, network switches, and other key components for data centers. Such a high backlog provides Broadcom with exceptional visibility into future revenues and simultaneously reduces the risk of a sudden slowdown in demand, representing a significant competitive advantage.

Shares and Investor Returns

Market reaction to the results was mixed. Broadcom shares initially rose following the earnings release, but later declined by more than 4%.* This movement should be viewed in a broader context – the company’s value is still approximately 50% higher in 2025, which suggests that this short-term decline may be seen as an opportunity to purchase a fundamentally attractive company at a discounted price. In addition, the company continues to return capital to shareholders – management increased the dividend to USD 0.65 per share, confirming confidence in long-term cash flow as well as the ability to combine growth with regular income.

European Defense Strategy as a Renewed Investment Pillar

January 12, 2026
Defense spending in the European Union has definitively shifted in recent years from the margins of political and investment interest to the center of attention. A combination of persistent geopolitical threats, the armed conflict in Ukraine, growing doubts about the long-term security commitments of the United States toward NATO, and a historical investment deficit is creating an environment in which Europe has no alternative but to significantly strengthen its own defense capabilities. Which companies are likely to benefit the most?

The memory market at the end of 2025 faces an enormous hardware challenge, as AI infrastructure creates demand that spreads through the entire chain. As a result, component costs in the under-$200 phone segment have risen by 20 to 30% since the beginning of 2025. Experts warn that smartphone prices may rise by tens of percent. Micron has already indicated that the market tension is expected to persist in 2026 as well, which is exactly why memory prices and availability are being addressed worldwide.
