In a significant move to bolster its financial position, Broadcom issued $3 billion in senior notes through underwriters led by Wells Fargo and Citigroup. The issuance is split into three tranches:

  • $1.1 billion in 4.800% notes due 2028,
  • $800 million in 5.050% notes due 2030, and
  • $1.1 billion in 5.200% notes due 2032.

The unsecured notes will rank equally with Broadcom’s other debts and are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment.

Despite a current debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02, Broadcom’s strategic use of capital underscores its confidence in sustaining market leadership, particularly amid AI-driven growth opportunities.

Broadcom’s recent fiscal performance underscores its resilience, with AI-related revenue driving better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. The company anticipates $14.6 billion in revenue and an EBITDA margin of approximately 66% for the upcoming quarter, cementing its position alongside NVIDIA Corp NVDA in the AI infrastructure race.
