Broadcom runs two businesses most people treat as one.
Segment 1 — Semiconductors (roughly two-thirds): custom AI ASICs for hyperscalers, data center networking, broadband, wireless. The AI engine lives here.
Segment 2 — Infrastructure Software (roughly one-third): anchored by the $69B VMware deal. Enterprise cloud, security, networking — high-margin, recurring.
Why it matters:
Compute + connectivity + software in one stack.
When the chip cycle softens, software stabilizes.
When AI demand ramps, both legs benefit.
Not a pure-play — a barbell with AI leverage.
