For the current quarter ending July 30, Broadcom forecast sales of $8.85 billion, up 5%. Analysts had called for $8.72 billion in the fiscal third quarter.
“Our third-quarter outlook projects year-over-year growth, reflecting continued leadership in networking as we support a measured ramp into large scale AI networks,” Chief Executive Hock Tan said in a news release.
AVGO Stock Wavers Late
In after-hours trading on the stock market today, AVGO stock alternated between gains and losses. During the regular session Thursday, Broadcom retreated 2.2% to close at 789.95.
