Fabless chip and software maker Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) will be reporting results tomorrow after the bell. Here's what to look for.
Last quarter Broadcom reported revenues of $9.30 billion, up 4.1% year on year, in line with analyst expectations. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with full-year revenue guidance missing analysts' expectations, but it expects higher adjusted FY24 EBITDA profitability, partly thanks to its acquisition of software company VMware (NYSE:VMW), which closed in November. In addition, its adjusted EBITDA and EPS outperformed Wall Street's estimates.
