Broadcom stock falls as chipmaker's strong results 'not enough to keep investors happy'

Broadcom shares fell after the company reported third-quarter earnings that beat estimates and showed soaring profits driven by custom chip demand. Despite tripling AI chip sales and providing a strong earnings outlook, the results were not enough to satisfy investors. The company expects a surge in AI chip sales over the next two years, with some projections suggesting AI revenue could reach $230 billion by 2028 through partnerships with firms like OpenAI and Anthropic.
