Where could AVGO go next? This article reviews a selection of third-party Broadcom stock forecasts for 2025-2050, along with key factors that could influence its future price movements.

  

Current Broadcom price and market position

Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) is a leading designer and supplier of semiconductors and enterprise software, with operations spanning cloud computing, networking, broadband, storage, and wireless connectivity. Its technology underpins much of today’s digital infrastructure, from hyperscale data centres to service providers and corporate IT systems.

The company has expanded its portfolio through a series of acquisitions, most notably VMware in November 2023 in a $69bn deal. This introduced virtualisation and hybrid cloud management software to its semiconductor operations, creating a combined hardware–software ecosystem. Broadcom has also invested in AI-focused products, such as custom AI accelerators (XPUs) and advanced networking chips to support AI infrastructure, addressing rising demand from major cloud providers.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

AVGO stock predictions: Analyst outlook

As of 5 September 2025, third-party analysts set a range of 12-month price targets for Broadcom (AVGO), according to MarketBeat data:

  • Oppenheimer: reiterated an ‘outperform’ rating, raising its target from $305 to $325.

  • UBS Group: increased its target from $290 to $345, maintaining a ‘buy’.

Morningstar increased its fair value estimate for Broadcom to $325 per share, citing stronger artificial intelligence revenue and rising demand for custom chips. Analyst William Kerwin noted that July-quarter revenue grew 22% year on year to $16bn, with AI chip sales up 63%. Management expects an additional $10bn in AI-related orders during fiscal 2026, with scope for further growth as more customers are added to the pipeline.

What could influence Broadcom’s share price?

Broadcom’s share price can be affected by both company-specific factors and wider industry or macroeconomic trends.

Artificial intelligence and data centres

Demand for custom silicon and networking chips in artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, particularly from hyperscale cloud providers, could support Broadcom’s revenue if spending rises or the firm secures new design wins. New products such as the Tomahawk 6 Ethernet switch have gained early traction in data centres. Conversely, slower AI uptake, changing architectures, or tighter customer budgets may act as headwinds.

Software integration

The VMware acquisition, completed in late 2023, expanded Broadcom’s move into subscription-based services. Smooth customer migration and stronger renewal rates could lift recurring income. However, pushback from customers, pricing disputes, and legal action over licensing terms – including recent lawsuits – could restrict progress and add uncertainty.

Geopolitics and trade policy

As a global chip supplier, Broadcom is exposed to US–Asia trade relations. Reduced tensions or effective supply chain adjustments could ease uncertainty. However, ongoing trade frictions, export controls and tariffs remain material risks that may raise costs and disrupt revenue.

Supply chain capacity

External foundries such as TSMC and suppliers underpin Broadcom’s production. Stronger partnerships or advances in packaging could improve efficiency. On the other hand, disruptions from shortages, equipment delays, or natural disasters could constrain output. 

Competition in semiconductors

Broadcom faces rivals such as AMD and Nvidia in AI and data centre chips. AMD’s EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs, together with Nvidia’s dominant GPUs and CUDA software platform, represent strong competition. Winning contracts with leading cloud firms or expanding into edge AI could support market share. However, superior launches by competitors or in-house chip development by hyperscale customers could pressure margins.

Investor sentiment and valuation

Earnings results and analyst revisions shape valuation multiples. Consistent outperformance can drive upside, while earnings misses or broader risk-off sentiment across technology stocks may weigh on the share price.

Regulation and legal issues

Broadcom operates across multiple jurisdictions. Positive outcomes in antitrust or intellectual property cases may reduce overhangs, while new legal challenges or tighter export controls could increase uncertainty.

Whether AVGO is appropriate for you depends on your objectives and risk tolerance. Factors such as demand for AI hardware, progress with software integration, regulatory developments, and competitive pressures should be considered.

Could AVGO rise or fall?

AVGO may benefit from stronger AI-related revenue, developments within the VMware partner ecosystem in 2025, or easing trade tensions.
