Broadcom logged a big jump in revenue for its fiscal first quarter, driven by its artificial-intelligence semiconductor and infrastructure software units, and guided for further growth in the current quarter.

The Palo Alto, Calif., chip and software company on Thursday posted a net income for the three months ended Feb. 2 of $5.5 billion, or $1.14 a share, compared with $1.33 billion, or 28 cents a share, for the same period a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet had forecast per-share earnings of 86 cents.

Stripping out one-time items, the earnings per share came in at $1.60, ahead of the $1.51 expected by Wall Street.

Revenue rose 25% to $14.92 billion, beating analysts expectations of $14.62 billion, according to FactSet.

Shares rose 8.7% to $195 in post-market trading. Through Thursday's close, shares are up 28% over the past 12 months.

For the second quarter, the company expects revenue of around $14.9 billion. Wall Street had forecast revenue of $14.76 billion.

"We expect continued strength in AI semiconductor revenue of $4.4 billion in the second quarter, as hyperscale partners continue to invest in AI XPUs and connectivity solutions for AI data centers," Chief Executive Hock Tan said.
