Should you still hold Broadcom (AVGO)?

Helm tracks 2 reasons to own AVGO: Custom AI accelerator (XPU) demand from hyperscalers drives semiconductor growth; VMware subscription conversion lifts software margins and cash flow. As of 2026-06-09, the thesis reads intact, based on dated SEC-filing and news evidence tested against each reason. This is research, not investment advice.

What would break the AVGO bull case?

Each reason to own AVGO has a defined breaking point. The bull case weakens if: A major custom-silicon customer pauses orders or AI semiconductor guidance is cut; Infrastructure software revenue disappoints or large VMware customers churn off the new model. Helm watches these against new filings and news and flags the moment one is contradicted.

  “We included upfront license revenue of $1,964 million and $3,719 million within products revenue for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended May 3, 2026, respectively.”
  Broadcom's strong upfront license revenue contributes positively to its software margins and cash flow, supporting the VMware subscription conversion thesis.
