Companies are increasingly investing in the infrastructure needed to support a switch to hybrid work models, giving Broadcom?which makes chips for data centers, routers, and Wi-Fi modems?an edge over competitors with more exposure to smartphones and PCs.
Rivals Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Qualcomm and Nvidia Corp have all issued demand warnings as consumers spend less on PCs, gaming devices, and smartphones in the face of red-hot inflation.
Premium phone sales have so far held steady, however, as higher-income customers remain relatively unscathed. That has helped Broadcom, which counts Apple Inc. as a major customer, forecast a 20% sequential jump in current-quarter wireless revenue.
