3)2026 财年展望：基础设施软件收入将保持低两位数的增长;非 AI 业务保持稳定; 4)Open AI 的合作：10GW 的规模更多是在 2027、2028、2029 年，而不是 2026 年。那是一次关于未来 方向的协议与共识，在 2026 年不会贡献太多。 整体来看，在谷歌 Gemini 和 TPU"性价比" 的优势之下，市场对博通 AVGO 的 AI 业务在明年及之后的 预期相当乐观。然而公司本次给出了 730 亿美元的 6 个季度订单，无疑是给市场泼了一盆 "冷水"。在 剔除 Anthropic 和第五个客户后，意味着谷歌的自身需求基本不增长，这肯定是让市场失望的。 虽然公司管理层随后解释到 730 亿美元是下限，实际的表现肯定比这个好，但毕竟还是给出了这样的数 字，这直接让公司股价在盘后出现了 5% 的下跌。虽然短期内影响了市场信心，但博通管理层一直以来 都相对谨慎，公司后续可能会上调 AI 展望。从中长期角度看，"谷歌 Gemini+ 博通" 依然具备明显的性 价比优势，仍将会对英伟达带来持续的压力。 智通财经APP获悉，博通(AVGO.US)召开 2025 财年第四季度的财报电话会。公司第四 ...
