AVGO Valuation Implies 24.3% Revenue CAGR Over 6 Years to Justify $2.2 Trillion Market Cap

Summary
$2.2 trillion Broadcom valuation implies revenue must climb from $68.3 billion to $251.3 billion in six years, requiring a 24.3% annual growth rate under a 25.2x terminal multiple and 34.4% margin.
That hurdle is roughly in line with Broadcom’s current 25.2% growth pace and 26.2% three-year average, driven mainly by custom AI chips for six strategic customers while its other chip and software businesses stay largely flat.
The biggest risk is time: if investors give Broadcom only four years to grow into its valuation, the required revenue CAGR jumps to 38.5%; a margin slip to 29.5% would raise it to 27.5%, while seven years lowers it to 20.5%.
Broadcom’s case rests on sticky multiyear AI chip partnerships, networking leadership and VMware software, but its dependence on a small group of hyperscalers leaves little room for any pause in AI spending.
