On October 2, Broadcom rose 3.06% in regular trading, trading at $354.60 USD/share, with turnover of $1.958 billion. The gain came amid a broad semiconductor rally, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climbing 3%.
The primary catalyst was the announcement that Broadcom's banking consortium has begun raising $60 billion in new financing to fund AI chip access for customers including Amazon-backed Anthropic. The financing structure reportedly includes a $42 billion class A senior-secured tranche led by Wall Street banks, alongside an $18 billion class B junior debt tranche led by Blackstone, which plans to commit $9 billion before syndicating the remainder. Anthropic is expected to become Broadcom's largest computing business client by 2027, with the partnership expanding from chip supply into compute leasing and financing. Broadcom projects its AI semiconductor revenue to reach approximately $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028.
Within the Semiconductors sector, the overall tone was bullish. Among peers, Intel rose 4.87%, AMD gained 4.20%, Marvell Technology advanced 3.91%, NVIDIA climbed 2.82%, while Micron Technology slipped 0.69%.
