10 stocks we like better than Broadcom ›
The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has supercharged Broadcom's (NASDAQ: AVGO) growth in recent quarters, with the company now getting a significant chunk of its revenue from selling custom processors and networking chips deployed by major cloud service providers in their data centers.
The stock has made a big move in the past couple of months, jumping an impressive 41% as of this writing and going well past $1 trillion in market cap. The good part is that Broadcom is scratching the surface of a massive opportunity in the AI chip market that could help it sustain solid growth rates for a long time to come.
Of course, buying just Broadcom and hoping that it will help you become a millionaire isn't a smart thing to do, as any cracks in the company's growth story could send the stock plunging. However, Broadcom looks like an ideal pick for investors aiming to construct a diversified million-dollar portfolio. Let's look at the reasons why.
Broadcom released its fiscal 2025 second-quarter results (for the three months ended May 4) on June 5. Its revenue jumped 20% year over year to $15 billion, while adjusted earnings shot up at a stronger pace of 43%.
AI played a key role in driving this robust growth. The company's AI revenue jumped 46% year over year to $4.4 billion, which means it's now getting almost 30% of its top line by supplying chips powering this technology. What's worth noting here is that Broadcom is anticipating further acceleration in its AI revenue in the current quarter, projecting $5.1 billion in revenue. That would be an improvement of 60% from the year-ago period.
What's more, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan indicated on the latest earnings conference call that the company's AI revenue growth trajectory is sustainable. Tan remarked that the growth rate Broadcom is witnessing so far in fiscal 2025 "will presumably continue." That's not surprising, considering that Broadcom is now seeing stronger demand for its custom AI chips (known as XPUs) for inference purposes.
Management says that the three existing customers who are deploying its custom chips in data centers for AI training remain firm in their infrastructure investment plans, despite the economic uncertainty created by the tariff war. At the same time, those three customers "are doubling down on inference in order to monetize their platforms," which is why the company anticipates "an acceleration of XPU demand into the back half of 2026 to meet urgent demand for inference on top of the demand we have indicated from training."
A big reason why Broadcom should be able to sustain its impressive AI revenue growth rate is because of the massive addressable opportunity worth $60 billion to $90 billion that it sees for its AI chips by fiscal 2027 based on the three customers it's currently serving. Given that the company has generated $13.6 billion in revenue from sales of its AI chips in the first three quarters of the year, it still has a lot of room to grow in this market.
That's especially true considering that another four hyperscalers are in negotiations with Broadcom for manufacturing custom AI processors. As a result, Broadcom may be sitting on a much larger AI-related addressable market, which explains why analysts have raised their growth expectations for the company following its latest results.
Broadcom is trading at just under 38 times forward earnings as of this writing following its recent surge. While that may seem expensive at first, we have seen that the company's outstanding earnings growth justifies its rich valuation. Another important thing worth noting is that Broadcom's price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG ratio) based on its projected earnings growth for the next five years stands at just 0.66, according to Yahoo! Finance.
The PEG ratio is a forward-looking valuation metric calculated by dividing a company's price-to-earnings ratio by its estimated annual earnings growth rate for the next five years. A reading of less than 1 means that the stock in question is undervalued, and Broadcom's multiple is well below that mark.
All this makes Broadcom a solid growth stock to buy right now, since it seems built for terrific long-term upside and has the potential to contribute positively toward a million-dollar portfolio.

5 AI stocks to consider buying and holding for the long term
Many AI applications are still in development, offering ground-floor buying opportunities in their stocks. Below are some established companies that five of contract writers like as investments to consider buying to capitalise on this transformational technology. What it does: Alphabet is a global technology company best known for Google, YouTube, Android, and cloud services. By Mark Hartley. When considering an AI investment for the long term, Google's parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) stands out. It has emerged as a key player in the AI space, leveraging its vast data resources and computational power to dig deep roots into the industry. Through DeepMind and its Gemini AI models, Alphabet is at the forefront of generative AI development. Google Cloud offers scalable AI tools and infrastructure for businesses, while AI enhancements in products like Search, Gmail, and YouTube are well-positioned to benefit from advertising revenue. Alphabet's expansive ecosystem gives it a strategic advantage in training and deploying AI models at scale. A significant risk, however, lies in the potential disruption of its core search business. As AI chatbots and generative search become more prevalent, traditional search advertising could face margin pressure. Additionally, if faces increased regulatory scrutiny on data usage, antitrust concerns and competition from rivals like Microsoft and Amazon. Mark Hartley doesn't own shares in any of the stocks mentioned. What it does: Cellebrite is the global leader in decrypting mobile phones and other devices supporting digital forensic investigations. By Zaven Boyrazian. Many AI stocks today are unproven. That's why I prefer established players leveraging AI to improve their existing mission-critical products like Cellebrite (NASDAQ:CLBT). Cellebrite specialises in extracting encrypted data from mobile phones and other devices aiding law enforcement and enterprises in criminal and cybersecurity investigations. Over 90% of crime commited today has a digital element. And when it comes to decrypting mobile phones, Cellebrite is the global gold standard. The company is now leveraging AI to analyse encrypted data – drastically accelerating a task that's historically been increadibly labour intensive identifying patterns, discovering connections, and establishing leads. Most of Cellebrite's revenue comes from law enforcement, exposing Cellebrite to the risk of budget cuts. In fact, fears of lower US federal spending is why the stock dropped sharply in early 2025. And with a premium valuation, investors can expect more volatility moving forward. But in the long run, Cellebrite has what it takes to be an AI winner in my mind. That's why I've already bought shares. Zaven Boyrazian owns shares in Cellebrite. What it does: Dell Technologies provides a broad range of IT products and services and is an influential player in AI. By Royston Wild. Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) isn't one of the more fashionable names in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). The good news is that this means it trades at a whopping discount to many of its peers. For this financial year (to January 2026), City analysts think earnings will soar 41% year on year, leaving it on a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 12.6 times. Such readings are as rare as hen's teeth in the high-growth tech industry. In addition, Dell shares also trade on a price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio of 0.3 for this year. Any reading below 1 implies a share is undervalued. These modest readings fail to reflect the exceptional progress the company's making in AI, in my opinion. Indeed, Dell last month raised guidance for the current quarter as it announced 'unprecedented demand for our AI-optimised servers' during January-March. It booked $12.1bn in AI orders in the last quarter alone, beating the entire total for the last financial year. Dell is a major supplier of server infrastructure that let Nvidia's high-power chips do their thing. Dell's shares could sink if unfavourable developments in the ongoing tariff wars transpire. But the company's low valuation could help limit the scale of any falls. Royston Wild does not own shares in Dell or Nvidia. What it does: Salesforce is a customer relationship management (CRM) software company that is developing AI agents. By Edward Sheldon, CFA. We've all seen the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years. Using apps like ChatGPT and Gemini, we can do a lot of amazing things today. These apps are just the start of the AI story, however. I expect the next chapter to be about AI agents – software programmes that can complete tasks autonomously and increase business productivity exponentially. One company that is active in this space is Salesforce (NYSE: CRM). It's a CRM software company that has recently developed an agentic AI offering for businesses called 'Agentforce'. It's still early days here. But already the company is having a lot of success with this offering, having signed up 8,000 customers since the product's launch last October. Now, Salesforce is not the only company developing AI agents. So, competition from rivals is a risk. I like the fact that the company's software is already embedded in over 150,000 organisations worldwide though. This could potentially give it a major competitive advantage in the agentic AI race. Edward Sheldon has positions in Salesforce. What it does: Salesforce is a cloud-based software company specialising in customer relationship management, helping businesses manage sales, marketing, support, and data. By Ben McPoland. I think Salefsforce (NYSE: CRM) looks well set up to benefit in the age of AI. Specifically, its Agentforce platform, which lets businesses deploy AI agents to handle various tasks, could be the company's next big growth engine. By the end of April, it had already closed over 8,000 deals, just six months after launching Agentforce. Half of those were paid deals, taking its combined data cloud and AI annual recurring revenue above $1bn. Granted, that looks like small potatoes set against the $41.2bn in sales it's expected to generate this fiscal year. But it's still very early days, and management reckons the digital labour market opportunity could run into the trillions of dollars. Of course, it's always best to treat such mind-boggling projections with a healthy dose of scepticism. And the company does face stiff competition in the AI agent space, especially from Microsoft and ServiceNow. Nevertheless, I'm bullish here. Salesforce is already deeply embedded in sales, service, and marketing. Its AI agents slot into existing workflows, which I think will prove to be a big advantage over unproven AI upstarts.

Stop Putting Your Phone Face Up on the Table
Have you ever been phone snubbed? That's what happens when you're spending time with someone who seems more interested in their phone. Your friend might be sitting right across from you but when they're laughing at a video or meme that only they can see, it feels like they're a million miles away. I've been guilty of paying more attention to my screen than my companion and I feel bad about it afterward. There's nothing wrong with replying to an urgent Slack message or pulling up a funny TikTok to share. But I know I probably spend too much time staring at screens and a lot of that time is unhealthy doomscrolling. These days, when I'm not using my phone, I try to be more deliberate about keeping it out of sight and out of mind. If I do need to keep my phone at hand, I always have it face down. It could help save your phone battery I have a few reasons for making sure my phone screen is turned away. The first one is practical: Because my screen is face down and won't turn on for each notification, I can save a little bit of battery charge. A single notification won't mean the difference between my phone lasting the whole day or dying in the afternoon, but notifications can add up, especially if I've enabled them across all of my apps. If I'm in a lot of group chats, my screen might end up turning on dozens of times throughout the day (and that's on the low side because many teenagers have hundreds of notifications a day). It also shows that you pay attention Keeping my phone face down is also a good rule of social etiquette: If I'm hanging out with someone, I keep my screen hidden from view as a subtle way of showing that I won't be distracted by it. I don't want incoming notifications to light up my screen every few seconds, especially if I'm in a bar or other dimly lit setting. I want to keep my eyes on the person I'm talking to. "Eye contact is one of the most powerful forms of human connection. Neuroscience research indicates that when two people make direct eye contact, their brain activity begins to synchronize, supporting more effective communication and increasing empathy. This synchrony can be disrupted when attention shifts to a phone, even briefly," says Michelle Davis, clinical psychologist at Headspace. When I'm with the people I've chosen to spend time with, I want to be fully present with them. A sudden notification will tempt me to glance at, or worse, pick up my phone in the middle of a conversation. It minimizes your phone's presence I also have a more personal reason for keeping my phone face down and I suspect that other people have had this same thought: My phone takes up too much space in my life. I mean that quite literally. My phone is bigger than it needs to be. That's been especially true since I upgraded from my iPhone Mini to a "normal-sized" iPhone. Yes, I got a much needed boost in battery life but I also got a screen with more pixels to lure me into the next news headline or autoplaying Instagram reel. A small smartphone isn't something that really exists anymore. My phone is bigger and better at grabbing my attention. It competes against my friends and family, books and movies, the entire world outside of its 6-inch screen. It often wins. But there's still one small thing I can do to minimize its presence: I can keep the screen turned away from me whenever possible. It can sometimes feel like there's no escaping from my phone. Whether that ever changes, or phones evolve into a new form factor, I can't say. I can't control everything about my phone, but I can control whether the screen stares at me when I'm not staring at it.
