Broadcom also forecast sales of $14.6 billion for the current quarter versus a $14.55 billion estimate from analysts.

For fiscal 2024 "AI revenue which grew 220 percent year-on-year was driven by our leading AI XPUs and Ethernet networking portfolio," CEO Hock Tan said in a press release.

Broadcom shares were up as much as 5% in late trading following the report.
