The analyst noted that although Q1 results exceeded expectations, Q2 guidance was largely driven by AI-related growth, which helped counteract weakness in Broadcom’s legacy semiconductor markets. Additionally, the analyst highlighted management’s mention of four “pre-customers” that have the potential to significantly boost annual sales growth beyond 30%, a pace described as “stunning.”
