"Broadcom has beaten EPS estimates in each of the last eight quarters, and Polymarket crowd odds currently sit at 95.85% in favor of a beat. Last quarter was strong on paper. Broadcom reported Q4 FY2025 revenue of $18.02B, beating estimates by 2.63%, with AI semiconductor revenue up 74% year over year."
"Management guided AI semiconductor revenue to $8.2B in Q1, which would represent a doubling year over year. This is the single most important line item in the report. CFO Kirsten Spears flagged that gross margins will compress as AI revenue mix rises, with Q1 gross margin expected to decline roughly 100 basis points sequentially."
"CEO Hock Tan often issues bold statements about future demand that have led to large price swings in AVGO shares. Despite that, the stock sold off. AVGO is down 7.24% year to date. The bar for a positive reaction tonight is higher than the headline numbers suggest."
Broadcom will report Q1 FY2026 earnings after market close on March 4, 2026. Wall Street consensus expects $19.14 billion in revenue, 77.2% gross margins, $10.07 billion free cash flow, and $1.42 GAAP EPS. The company has beaten EPS estimates in eight consecutive quarters, with Polymarket odds at 95.85% favoring another beat. Despite strong Q4 FY2025 results—$18.02 billion revenue with 74% year-over-year AI semiconductor growth—the stock declined 7.24% year-to-date. Key focus areas include AI revenue delivery targeting $8.2 billion (doubling year-over-year), gross margin compression of roughly 100 basis points sequentially, and backlog trends.
