Broadcom reported better-than-expected quarterly results but its shares fell due to a fourth-quarter revenue forecast below analyst estimates. CEO Hock Tan revealed plans to double AI revenue to $115 billion in 2027 and then to $230 billion the following year, highlighting massive future AI infrastructure spending. CFO Amie Thuener disclosed Broadcom might offer financial guarantees to AI labs, sharing the risk of their large infrastructure investments. This signals a trend where chipmakers financially support customers whose revenues don't yet cover their AI spending, raising questions about who ultimately bears the financial risk in the AI sector.
