Broadcom’s AI Deal Sparks Rally but Raises Valuation Concerns
Semiconductor leader Broadcom surged 10% after securing a landmark AI accelerator deal with OpenAI, dwarfing a similar agreement with AMD. The 10-gigawatt partnership—equivalent to a potential $400B-$500B opportunity using Nvidia's valuation framework—cements Broadcom's infrastructure dominance.
Despite the bullish momentum, analysts warn the rally may have prematurely priced in execution risks. Funding uncertainties for AI projects and stretched valuations leave limited upside for new investors. "This is a hold, not a buy," cautions one market strategist, noting Broadcom now trades at 28x forward earnings.
