Did AVGO Beat Earnings? Q2 2024 Results

Yes. Broadcom reported Q2 2024 earnings of $10.96 a share on Jun 12, 2024, beating the $10.84 consensus estimate by 1.1%. Revenue was $12.5B against a $12.0B estimate.

Broadcom posted a decisive beat across the board in its fiscal second quarter of 2024, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $10.96 edging past the $10.84 consensus estimate by 1.11% and revenue of $12.49 billion clearing expectations of $12.03 billion by 3.82%, marking a 43.0% surge from the year-ago period. The headline driver behind the quarter's strength was a dual-engine story: record AI semiconductor revenue of $3.10 billion from custom accelerators and networking silicon for hyperscale data centers, paired with the first full quarterly contribution from VMware, which propelled infrastructure software revenue up 175% year-over-year to $5.29 billion. Adjusted EBITDA reached $7.43 billion, representing 59% of revenue, while free cash flow came in at $4.45 billion. Looking ahead, Broadcom raised its fiscal 2024 revenue guidance to approximately $51.00 billion, implying 42% growth over fiscal 2023, with adjusted EBITDA margins expected near 61%. The company also announced a ten-for-one forward stock split, set to take effect July 15, 2024, aimed at broadening accessibility for retail investors and employees.

Key Takeaways
  • Record AI semiconductor product revenue of $3.1 billion
  • VMware acquisition contributing to 175% growth in infrastructure software revenue
  • Accelerating enterprise adoption of VMware software stack for private clouds
  • Consolidated revenue grew 12% year-over-year excluding VMware

“Broadcom's second quarter results were once again driven by AI demand and VMware. Revenue from our AI products was a record $3.1 billion during the quarter. Infrastructure software revenue accelerated as more enterprises adopted the VMware software stack to build their own private clouds.”
