For the period ending May 5, Broadcom earned an adjusted $10.96 per share as revenue rose 43% year-over-year to $12.49B, including VMware. Excluding VMware, revenue rose 12% year-over-year.
Semiconductor solutions revenue was $7.2B for the period while infrastructure revenue was $5.29B. Revenue from artificial intelligence-related products was $3.1B during the quarter.
A consensus of analysts expected the company to earn $10.80 per share on an adjusted basis, with revenue forecast to be $12.06B.
The company's board of directors also declared a 10-1 stock split, effective July 15 and a quarterly dividend of $5.25 per share, payable to shareholders on June 28 on record as of June 24.
