Broadcom shares jump after setting Q4 earnings date and AI revenue guidance

Broadcom announced its fourth‑quarter 2026 earnings release date and forecast Q4 revenue of $34.8 billion with AI semiconductor revenue of $21.7 billion. The guidance, together with the acceptance of its VM API project into the CNCF Sandbox and strong analyst support, sent the stock higher across the day. Analysts also expect diluted EPS of $3.45 for Q4, more than double the $1.61 reported a year earlier.

The revenue and AI‑revenue guidance set a new performance baseline that could lift the consensus price target, while the EPS outlook suggests a significant earnings acceleration for investors. The stock’s rally reflects renewed investor confidence ahead of the December 9 earnings release.
