Broadcom (NasdaqGS: AVGO) has qualified Seagate Technology's Mozaic hard drives for use with its host bus adapters in enterprise storage systems. The Mozaic lineup combines HAMR and SMR recording technologies and targets very high-capacity workloads in data centers. Microsoft Azure Storage has validated the combined Broadcom, Seagate and Mozaic stack in a hyperscale cloud deployment. The article notes that lower-margin, memory-heavy AI hardware is weighing on Broadcom's consolidated gross margin, and that AI infrastructure financing structures carry off-balance-sheet risk.

- We're exiting our position in this chipmaker and right-sizing another winner
Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is selling its remaining 120 Broadcom (AVGO) shares at roughly $326 each, exiting the position with an average gain of roughly 128% on shares bought in 2023 and 2024. It is also selling 85 CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares at roughly $251, cutting its weighting to 4.25% from 4.8% after a big move, for a gain of roughly 187% on shares bought in late 2024. The trust says the moves reflect a more defensive approach amid a struggling data center theme over funding concerns, with fewer holdings until the pending Anthropic IPO, expected as soon as mid-November, plays out and Meta Platforms' future equity raises become clearer. Cramer said the approach means 'circling the wagons,' with bigger positions in the better names, and that the Broadcom sale protects large gains and limits exposure to a group under fire.
- Not AMD. Not Marvell. Here's Which Company Nvidia Needs to Be Worried About.
Nvidia leads the AI computing chip market, but the author argues Broadcom, with its custom AI chips, poses a bigger threat than AMD or Marvell. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion, while Marvell's AI data center revenue totaled $2.1 billion in Q2. Broadcom has worked with Alphabet for a long time on Google's TPU and also has partnerships with Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Broadcom estimates its AI segment revenue at about $58 billion this year, rising to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028, while Nvidia expects about 70% revenue growth in 2027. At 43 times trailing earnings and 17 times next year's estimates, the author argues the stock does not reflect that growth and considers it attractive.
- Prediction: Broadcom Will Be a $4.5 Trillion Company by 2030
The author argues Broadcom could reach a $4.5 trillion market cap by 2030, from just over $1.5 trillion today. The thesis rests on rising demand for Broadcom's custom AI processors (XPUs) from customers such as Alphabet's Google, Meta Platforms, Anthropic and OpenAI, with XPU shipments up 3.5x and AI networking revenue up 2.5x year over year in fiscal Q3 2026. Broadcom expects AI revenue of $58 billion in fiscal 2026 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028, with EPS that could exceed $30.00 in fiscal 2028. Assuming 30% annual EPS growth in fiscal 2029 and 2030 to reach $51.36, and a 20x multiple, the article estimates a share price of $1,027, just over 3x current levels. The stock trades at 17 times forward earnings, a slight discount to the Nasdaq-100's 21.5.
- Here's What $10,000 Invested Equally in Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom Could Be Worth by 2030
A $10,000 investment split equally among Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom could be worth about $29,000 by end-2030, provided AI infrastructure spending keeps growing. The author's projections value the 15.7 Nvidia shares at $14,475, based on a share price of about $922, a 19x forward P/E multiple, and EPS above the $28.79 consensus for fiscal 2031, which the author considers low. AMD, with 6.5 shares, is expected to benefit from AI inference demand and target a 50% share of a $220 billion server CPU market by 2030, which could take the position to $6,565. Broadcom, a leader in custom AI chips, could take its 10.3 shares to about $10,197 by late 2030.
- Where Will Broadcom Stock Be in 5 Years?
Broadcom's stock has gained roughly 560% over the past five years on AI chip demand, but the author argues that growth over the next five years is likely to be more muted and uneven. In the first half of 2026, its semiconductor solutions segment grew 88%, total revenue reached 71 billion USD (up 55%), and net income was almost 30 billion USD (up 103%). The stock has a P/E of 43 and a forward P/E of 29, and analysts forecast 66% revenue growth this year and 64% in 2027. The article warns that an AI sell-off similar to the dot-com bust is possible, with rising interest rates a contributing factor, though Broadcom's profitability and software division may help it weather downturns. The author keeps a bullish outlook but expects more challenging conditions rather than uninterrupted growth.
- Broadcom vs. Dell Technologies: Which Stock Is AI Powering to Be a Better Buy in 2026?
The article compares Broadcom, a maker of networking chips and infrastructure software, with Dell Technologies, which sells servers, storage and PCs, as both benefit from AI demand. Broadcom posted revenue of about $63.9 billion in its fiscal year ended Nov. 2, 2025, up roughly 23.9%, with net income near $23.1 billion. Dell reported about $113.5 billion in revenue for the year ended Jan. 30, 2026, up roughly 18.8%, but its net margin was about 5.2%, versus Broadcom's close to 36.2%. The article flags Broadcom's customer concentration and Dell's competition and reliance on third-party manufacturers as key risks, and says Dell appears cheaper on forward P/E and price-to-sales.

- Microsoft offers buyouts to 60,000 workers as AI reshapes workforce
Microsoft is offering buyouts to about 60,000 employees to cut costs and reshape its workforce as it ramps up investment in AI infrastructure, Bloomberg reported. Eligible staff are vice presidents and below on select teams in the US, Canada, India and the UK, though some data center, sales and marketing employees are excluded, and the package includes benefits similar to a standard severance offer. Microsoft had 223,000 employees at the end of June, with headcount largely unchanged since 2022. In July, more than 30% of roughly 8,750 eligible employees accepted a separate retirement-age buyout, and the company expects fewer employees to take the latest program. Chief People Officer Amy Coleman said the program gives employees considering outside opportunities a supported exit and gives business units more flexibility in staffing.
- Anthropic's IPO could set off forced buying by index funds. SpaceX shows how that played out.
Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus and applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, at a reportedly discussed valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. Under Nasdaq's 'fast entry' rule, which took effect in May, a newly listed company ranking among the 40 biggest Nasdaq-100 members by market value can join after 15 trading days instead of at least three full calendar months, and index funds tracking the index would have to buy. For SpaceX, JPMorgan estimated index funds needed to buy about $4.3 billion of stock, yet its shares still fell about 15% over their first six sessions in the index. The float could be the differentiator: the prospectus leaves the offering size blank, and substantially all existing holders agreed not to sell for up to 180 days. The roadshow is reportedly starting the week of Nov. 9, so fast entry could come as soon as December.

- Operating Results Could Be A Game Changer For Evolution Mining Shares (ASX:EVN)
Evolution Mining reported quarterly output of 154,000 ounces of gold and 18,000 tonnes of copper, at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of A$1,653 per ounce. Analyst consensus sees revenue growing 5.9% a year over the next three years, profit margins rising from 26.5% to 33.4% by around 2029, and earnings lifting from A$1.5b to A$2.2b, with the highest and lowest outlooks at A$3.1b and A$1.6b. On those 2029 earnings, the shares would trade on a P/E of 16.1x, compared with 17.3x today and 11.4x for the wider Australian metals and mining group. The consensus price target is A$13.65, versus a share price of A$12.55 in late October 2026, a gap of 8.1%. The article also flags risks around sustaining capital, power reliability at Mungari and Red Lake, and labour turnover in underground roles.
- Tom Lee's Bitmine favors share buybacks to ether purchases as crypto declines
Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) resumed share buybacks after a roughly 10-week pause, purchasing 2.04 million shares at an average price of $22.48 for about $45.9 million last week. Chairman Tom Lee argued that crypto has held up better than AI-related stocks during the pullback: ETH has fallen 13% from its recent peak, while US semiconductors ($SOXX) are down 20% over the same period. Bitmine also bought 10,452 ETH worth about $24.5 million, slower than the 12,535 ETH purchased the previous week, bringing holdings to 6,051,933 ETH, or about 4.95% of Ethereum's 122.2 million token supply. The company has staked about 5.23 million ETH, or 86% of its holdings, projecting roughly $318 million in annualized staking revenue at current yields. Total buybacks this year reached 22.9 million shares, worth nearly $400 million.
- Brazil’s Stock Market Crashes After Lula’s Upset Victory
Brazil's stock market lost more than 200 billion USD in value at Monday's open after Lula beat Flávio Bolsonaro in the runoff, winning 51.79% to 48.21%. The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) fell as much as 26%, the Ibovespa dropped as much as 17% to about 170,000 points, and the dollar rose as much as 12% against the real. B3 halted trading for 30 minutes after the Ibovespa fell 10%, its first circuit breaker since the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the vote, Polymarket and Kalshi had priced Bolsonaro's chances of winning at 82% and roughly 80%, while polls had shown a near tie. Bolsonaro said he does not recognize the result and will ask the courts to annul the election.
