Taiwan Semiconductor and Broadcom are expected to reach $3 trillion market caps by 2027 driven by the AI build-out, with Taiwan Semiconductor benefiting from contract chip manufacturing and a $100 billion U.S. investment. Broadcom's custom AI chips grew 143% in Q2 and management projects its AI semiconductor business could top $100 billion next year. Valuation and earnings math suggest Taiwan Semiconductor is well-positioned to hit $3 trillion by 2027–28, while Broadcom must sustain rapid earnings growth to achieve the same milestone by 2027. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
