Core Viewpoint - Broadcom (AVGO.US) and Oracle (ORCL.US) experienced significant stock price fluctuations following their earnings reports, with Broadcom's stock dropping 17% over two days. UBS believes the market reaction was an overreaction and has raised its revenue expectations for Broadcom's AI semiconductor business, projecting revenues to exceed $60 billion in fiscal year 2026, nearly tripling year-over-year. The target price has been adjusted from $472 to $475 [1]. Group 1 - The company disclosed an AI business order backlog of $73 billion, covering an 18-month period, but management indicated that the actual delivery timeline would be closer to 12 months [2]. - In Q4, the total order backlog increased by 50% quarter-over-quarter, with AI semiconductor orders doubling. Excluding a new $11 billion order from Anthropic, the remaining backlog still increased by $20-25 billion, primarily from Google and Meta, not including OpenAI orders [2]. - Broadcom expects the delivery of a $21 billion rack order to Anthropic may extend into fiscal year 2027 due to the preparation progress of power components, emphasizing that Anthropic is the only rack customer in the backlog [2].
