Broadcom Stock Surges 4% on Apple ASIC Deal Extended to 2031
Broadcom shares jumped after the chipmaker revealed it will supply Apple with custom AI chips through 2031, deepening a partnership dating to 2010.
Broadcom shares climbed 4.1% to $375.13 on Monday after the semiconductor giant disclosed in a securities filing that it will continue supplying Apple with custom application-specific integrated circuits — known as ASICs — through 2031, extending one of the chip industry's most closely watched partnerships.
The deal underscores the surging demand for edge AI hardware, with Apple leaning on Broadcom's specialized chip design capabilities to power next-generation devices. ASICs are purpose-built processors optimized for specific workloads, making them a critical building block for on-device artificial intelligence applications that run without relying on cloud servers.
