Did AVGO Beat Earnings? Q4 2024 Results

Broadcom posted a mixed but broadly impressive fourth quarter for fiscal 2024, with earnings per share of $1.42 beating the $1.39 consensus estimate by 2.16%, even as revenue of $14.05 billion came in just shy of the $14.18 billion Wall Street had ex… Read more Broadcom posted a mixed but broadly impressive fourth quarter for fiscal 2024, with earnings per share of $1.42 beating the $1.39 consensus estimate by 2.16%, even as revenue of $14.05 billion came in just shy of the $14.18 billion Wall Street had expected, a gap of less than 1%. The top-line miss did little to obscure the bigger picture: revenue surged 51.2% year-over-year, powered in large part by the VMware integration, which drove infrastructure software sales up 196% to $5.82 billion for the quarter. AI demand was the other defining force, with CEO Hock Tan noting that AI revenue reached $12.20 billion for the full fiscal year, up 220% from the prior year. Investors watching closely will now turn their attention to guidance, with Broadcom projecting Q1 fiscal 2025 revenue of approximately $14.60 billion, a 22% year-over-year increase, alongside adjusted EBITDA margins of roughly 66%.

Key Takeaways

  • AI revenue of $12.2 billion for FY2024, growing 220% year-on-year
  • Successful integration of VMware driving infrastructure software revenue growth of 196% YoY in Q4
  • Semiconductor solutions revenue up 12% YoY driven by AI XPUs and Ethernet networking
