Broadcom shares rose sharply on Monday after the company confirmed its new partnership with OpenAI to design and produce custom Artificial Intelligence chips. The announcement led to a nearly 10% gain in Broadcom stock as investors reacted to the news of the high-value agreement.
The contract could be worth as much as $10 billion, making it one of the largest semiconductor deals in recent years. OpenAI and Broadcom plan to build up to 10 gigawatts of AI accelerators, which are specialized processors used to boost the speed and power of AI models. According to Yahoo Finance, this amount of computing power uses as much electricity as a large city.
“Partnering with Broadcom is a critical step in building the infrastructure needed to unlock AI’s potential and deliver real benefits for people and businesses,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. He also stated, “Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners all building the capacity required to push the frontier of AI to provide benefits to all humanity.” Under the deal, OpenAI will design the AI accelerators and systems, while Broadcom will help develop and deploy them.
The hardware will start rolling out in the second half of 2026. Market analysts have attributed the positive movement in AVGO stock to expectations that revenues from this deal will strengthen Broadcom’s position in the custom AI chip market. The demand for tailor-made silicon is rising as more companies invest in specialized infrastructure for artificial intelligence applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and its Sora video generation app.
