Why Broadcom Is the Big Anthropic IPO Winner. The Stock Jumps on Buy Upgrade.

Broadcom shares climbed 3% following a buy upgrade from DA Davidson and a new price target of $400, driven by details from Anthropic's initial public offering filing. The filing revealed a five-year, non-cancelable equipment lease agreement involving approximately $125.2 billion in payments, excluding interest. Additionally, Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Blackstone committed $63 billion to a vehicle that will buy Broadcom chips and networking gear to lease to Anthropic. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue surged 221% year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, positioning Anthropic to become its largest custom accelerator customer in 2027.
