Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) was in focus on Monday as investment firm UBS said it sees the potential for upside to guidance for the coming fourth-quarter, citing better unit trends for Google’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) newest tensor processing unit, the TPUv6p.
“We expect in-line results and potential upside to Street’s ~$17.0B for FQ4 (Oct) driven by better unit trends for TPUv6p, while non-AI revenue is up only slightly given content headwinds at Apple,” analysts at the firm wrote in a note to clients.
The analysts continued: “Our expectation is that TPUv6p will experience a sharp ramp in 2H25, extending into ’26 as our checks indicate [chip-on-a-wafer-substrate] wafer requirements increasing 51% Y/Y. Ergo, we think AI revenue could be up ~60% Y/Y in CY25, with [average selling prices] trending higher as TPUv6p folds into the mix.”
Aside from that, the investment firm said that Broadcom is likely to reiterate its expectation of a $60B to $90B serviceable addressable market for custom chips, while AI-related networking should strengthen into fiscal 2026 amid an increased push in Ethernet architecture deployment.
In conjunction, the firm reiterated its Buy rating and raised its price target to $345 from $290.
Broadcom is set to report its next quarterly results on Sept. 4. A consensus of analysts expect the firm to earn $1.66 per share on $15.82B in revenue.
