Broadcom makes the networking chips and the custom AI chips that the big cloud companies design with it, and it also owns a large software business in VMware. It is picks and shovels for AI compute: it gets paid as the data centres get built, whoever wins. We like it for its huge cash generation, its grip on custom AI silicon, and a growing dividend.
Where this sits in the cycle
Half the story rides the data-centre spending cycle, the other half is steady software revenue, which softens the swings a chip name usually has. Chips are cyclical, but AI demand has turned that into a longer, steadier run for now. The risk is a pause in cloud spending, which would hit the chip side first.
