Broadcom (AVGO) is a global technology powerhouse headquartered in Palo Alto, California, specializing in the design and supply of complex semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. The company has strategically positioned itself as the essential partner for hyperscalers like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META), co-designing custom AI accelerators such as the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).
Beyond hardware, Broadcom’s massive $61 billion acquisition of VMware in 2022 has transformed it into a software leader, providing mission-critical virtualization and private cloud platforms. Broadcom serves as a "backbone" for the modern AI data center and global telecommunications.
