For context, the RPO figure sat around $45 billion in earlier periods before major AI contract inclusions began reshaping the company’s financial profile.

6 billion, representing an 86% increase year-over-year. 7 billion, a 221% surge compared to the same period last year. 8 billion, which would represent a 93% year-over-year increase. 7 billion in Q4, a 236% jump from the prior year. 65 per share. The commitments are driven by major hyperscalers and AI research organizations including Google , Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta . These customers have laid out plans for multi-gigawatt AI infrastructure deployments extending visibility into 2028. Broadcom’s role in this ecosystem centers on custom AI accelerators and networking products, designing application-specific chips tailored to individual hyperscaler architectures.

The company forecasts AI semiconductor revenue of approximately $58 billion for fiscal year 2026, roughly $115 billion for 2027, and $230 billion for 2028. 2 billion in roughly three months suggests that new contract signings are outpacing revenue recognition. Given that the company specifically noted secured supply chains as part of its outlook, it appears confident in its ability to deliver. By locking in multi-year agreements with specific hyperscalers, Broadcom creates switching costs that make its revenue streams unusually sticky.
