Broadcom Shares Surge on Expanded AI Chip Deals with Google and Anthropic
Key Facts
Broadcom (AVGO) shares surged 6% to reach $333 in midday trading on Monday, accelerating from its earlier premarket gains. The rally intensified as new details emerged characterizing the agreements with Google and Anthropic as "long-term" supply contracts. Specifically, the partnership with Anthropic is dedicated to powering its "Claude" AI models, highlighting Broadcom's critical role in the generative AI ecosystem. Beyond custom ASIC chips, the company will also provide additional data center hardware to support the infrastructure needs of these tech giants. This development helps the stock recover further after a nearly 10% decline since the start of 2025. Analysts believe these comprehensive, multi-year deals solidify Broadcom's leadership and revenue visibility in the specialized AI hardware market.
