  • Deutsche Bank Is Bullish On Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)

    Deutsche Bank Is Bullish On Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)

    Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is among the Growth Stock Portfolio: 12 Stock Picks By Ken Fisher. 

    Deutsche Bank Is Bullish On Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)

    On December 12, 2025, Thefly reported that Deutsche Bank increased its price objective for Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) from $400 to $430 while keeping a buy rating. The business highlighted the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance, labeling growth as impressive. As stated in the commentary, the firm pointed out that although the results showed good performance, the growth came at a cost.

    On December 12, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) warned that increasing sales of lower-margin custom AI chips would decrease profitability, which caused the company’s stock to drop more than 11%. Following a 10.8% decline in Oracle shares the day before due to debt-funded AI infrastructure expenditure, the margin warning heightened investor fears about returns from significant AI spending. The business stated that the margins will remain under pressure due to a higher proportion of AI sales, despite reporting a $73 billion backlog to ship in the next 18 months.

    The stock has increased by over 46.72% so far this year. Melius Research’s Ben Reitzes stated that, considering the high spending plans, panic is premature.

    Meanwhile, the announcement of a new custom AI chip in 2026, a new $11 billion order for an AI chip from Anthropic for the second half of 2026, and guidance for artificial intelligence revenue in the January quarter were all significant highlights of the last quarter.

    Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is one of the world’s leading semiconductor businesses, and it has expanded into infrastructure software.

    While we acknowledge the potential of AVGO as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you’re looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

  • What Is the Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Hold for the Next 10 Years?

    What Is the Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Hold for the Next 10 Years?

    • Chip designers such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom serve as the backbone of generative AI development.

    • While chip designers steal the spotlight, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is playing a hugely important supporting role in the background.

    • As demand for AI chips and data centers accelerates, Taiwan Semi is poised for explosive long-term growth.

    • 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ›

    For the last three years, investing in semiconductor stocks has proven to be a profitable decision given the critical role chips play in the development of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Companies such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, and Micron Technology have been some of the biggest contributors to the semiconductor industry throughout the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.

    Flying under the radar is another chip company whose storyline seems muted compared to its peers. That’s Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), the pick-and-shovel specialist of the chip realm.

    Let’s dive into Taiwan Semi’s increasingly important role for the future of AI and assess why the stock looks like a no-brainer buying opportunity for investors with a long-term horizon.

    Image source: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

    Throughout the AI revolution, hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and OpenAI have collectively poured hundreds of billions of dollars into AI-related capital expenditures (capex) — namely, chips and networking gear for data centers.

    On the surface, this is great news for the likes of Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom. But underneath the surface, it’s even better news for Taiwan Semi. Why is that?

    TSMC is the largest chip manufacturer in the world in terms of revenue. While Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom design the most-in demand GPUs and custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) on the planet, each of these giants relies heavily on Taiwan Semi’s cutting-edge fabrication processes.

    In other words, if Nvidia and its competitors represent the body of the car moving the AI narrative forward, TSMC holds the keys to the ignition.

    Over the last year, Taiwan Semi’s revenue has been growing strongly thanks to ongoing demand for AI accelerators. What’s interesting to point out is that the company’s revenue trajectory is actually steepening. This is largely driven by rising demand for Nvidia’s and AMD’s next-generation Rubin and MI400 Series chips, as well as increasing investment in custom hardware from cloud infrastructure providers.
