Broadcom CEO Refutes AI Slowdown Fears Amid Anthropic Controversy
Yahoo Finance ·
Following Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay proposing a deliberate slowdown in the artificial intelligence sector, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) faced market volatility. On September 14, Broadcom shares dropped 4.8% as the iShares Semiconductor ETF fell 5.6%. Despite the broader sector sell-off, CEO Hock Tan assured investors on CNBC that the company's long-term artificial intelligence projections remain unchanged. During the fiscal third-quarter earnings call on September 2, Tan projected that artificial intelligence semiconductor revenue would reach $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and double to $230 billion in fiscal 2028. Anthropic is set to become Broadcom's largest custom silicon customer, planning to deploy 5 gigawatts of next-generation TPU v8i chips in 2027 with a clear path to an additional 10 gigawatts in 2028. Institutional interest remained relatively steady, with hedge fund ownership shifting slightly from 173 in the first quarter to 170 in the second, while short interest stood low at 1.08% of the float. Tan emphasized that these robust projections are anchored in firm contractual commitments rather than speculative forecasts.

Investors should monitor future custom chip order patterns and earnings announcements involving Anthropic.
상승 영향

- AI — Anthropic, as Broadcom's largest custom silicon customer, confirmed chip deployment plans of 5 gigawatts in 2027 and 10 gigawatts in 2028, showing that practical AI infrastructure investments will continue.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — Due to the extremely high revenue concentration in Anthropic, any changes to the customer's future capital expenditure plans could directly impact Broadcom and the related semiconductor ecosystem.
DYAX 전담 분석
Broadcom shares fell 4.8% on September 14 amid a broader semiconductor sector sell-off, but the CEO's firm guidance proved the validity of long-term fundamentals. In particular, the plan to deploy TPUs on a scale of 5 gigawatts in 2027 and 10 gigawatts in 2028 provides clear demand visibility.
If the debate over slowing down the AI industry materializes into regulations or industry cooperation, increased short-term volatility is expected. Given the high revenue concentration in Anthropic, changes in the customer's capital expenditure plans will be a key monitoring metric.
