barchart. com Why the Apple Deal Is Bullish for Broadcom Stock The announced extension addresses a long-standing overhang on AVGO shares: the fear that Apple would completely replace Broadcom chips with in-house silicon. Although the titan has made strides designing proprietary parts — like its N1 Wi-Fi chips — this deal cements Broadcom's role as an indispensable partner for complex, custom radio-frequency (RF) components, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi architecture.

Today's rally is completely justified given AAPL routinely accounts for about 20% of Broadcom's total annual revenue. Locking in this cash flow for another half-a-decade stabilizes AVGO's non-AI semiconductor unit, ensuring a highly predictable and lucrative baseline stream of high-margin hardware revenue. Where Options Data Suggests AVGO Shares Are Headed Broadcom shares pushed higher on July 6 also because the Apple deal secures more flexibility for the company to aggressively reinvest cash flow into its expanding cloud AI portfolio.

This would help prove to investors that the giant's growth engine extends far beyond a handful of hyperscale data center clients. What's also worth mentioning is that the options market predicts continued momentum as the year unfolds. The put-to-call ratio on AVGO contracts expiring mid-September sits at 0.

According to Barchart, the consensus rating on AVGO stock remains at "Strong Buy. " The mean price target of nearly $517 suggests potential upside of more than 35% from current levels. www.
