Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) shares trade around 2% higher in premarket Tuesday after the company announced it reached a multibillion-dollar deal with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
Apple will buy 5G radio frequency components from Broadcom, including the FBAR filters.
“We’re thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.
“All of Apple’s products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we’ll continue to deepen our investments in the U.S. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America’s future.”
The chipmaker said the partnership will help it continue investing in critical automation projects. Broadcom employs over 1,100 people in the Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility.
