The artificial intelligence (AI) theme dominated in 2024. One of the beneficiaries was Broadcom. The company looks to build off last year’s strength, which should give bullish traders another year of potential gains.
Broadcom offers a range of products, primarily semiconductor, enterprise software, and security solutions. More companies are integrating AI solutions into their core operations. This is where Broadcom’s diversified product offerings can be beneficial.
“Broadcom isn’t just a business devoted to serving the AI market,” Motley Fool explained. “Its products include mainframe software, virtual desktops (mainframe-based software that allows users to access their personal desktop environments and software from any device), and an AI product line. However, most of the excitement around the stock lately has been driven by its virtual desktop and AI products.”
There’s no denying the long-term growth prospects of AI with research firms like Grand View Research forecasting close to a 37% growth rate between 2024 to 2030. The near-term horizon also looks just as good. In 2025, Exploding Topics reported that the global AI market could grow as much as 38%. Of course, this can certainly bolster revenue projections for Broadcom after a strong 2024.
“On the AI side, Broadcom was generating massive amounts of revenue growth from sales of hardware for the giant AI data centers now being built,” Motley Fool added. “Sales of custom AI accelerators and networking components grew by 220% to $12.2 billion in Broadcom’s fiscal 2024, which ended Nov. 3. That represented around 24% of its total revenue.”
Following the broad market rally after the election of Donald Trump in the end of 2024, Broadcom surged. The AI theme is expected to continue building off its momentum from 2024. So Broadcom could see further gains though macroeconomic headwinds and uncertainty remain.
3X Broadcom Exposure
Information technology trade organization CompTIA said 55% of companies are currently using AI. An additional 45% will implement AI in the future. This should bode well for Broadcom given its diversified product range that will support the growth of AI.
Given the bullish prospects, it would serve traders well to consider the Direxion Daily AVGO Bull 2X (AVL ). The single-stock ETF provides double the exposure to Broadcom’s stock. That allows traders to maximize their profit potential should the stock rise in the future. Should Broadcom exhibit any short-term price weakness, traders can take the opposite side with the Direxion Daily AVGO Bear 1X Shares (AVS ).
