Broadcom's Real Test Begins When Pricing Power Meets Reality (NASDAQ:AVGO)
Broadcom (AVGO) is a critical enabler of AI infrastructure, with almost half its revenue stemming from AI semiconductors and strong free cash flow. Despite experiencing 48% Q2 FY26 revenue growth and a 143% YoY increase in AI chip revenue, gross margins face pressure due to a hardware-heavy product mix, and customer concentration with hyperscalers presents pricing challenges. The author views AVGO as a long-term compounder, valued around $392, with future upside driven by execution and cash flow rather than multiple expansion, given its defensible moat in high-end networking and VMware's software.

Applied Materials (AMAT) stock has surged 150% in the last year, with its P/E multiple rising from 19.1x to 42.2x, despite only 2.1% revenue growth.
