# What Is One of the Best Chip Stocks to Own for the Next 5 Years?

> The semiconductor market is booming, particularly for AI chips, projected to exceed $400 billion by 2030. While Nvidia is a leading choice, Broadcom (AVGO) is also a strong contender due to its affordable AI chips and advanced networking solutions. Broadcom anticipates AI revenue to grow from $20 billion to $120 billion by 2030, with total revenue increasing 22% year-over-year. The company's specialized AI chips and networking capabilities position it well for future demand, reflecting strong management confidence and a significant market opportunity.

The market for semiconductors is red-hot as investment continues to pour into data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). IDTechEx expects the market for AI chips to exceed $400 billion by 2030.

While graphics processing unit (GPU) leader **Nvidia** is a popular pick, investors should also consider **Broadcom** (AVGO -0.48%).

## Why Broadcom stock is a long-term buy

One issue for Nvidia is that its chips carry a high cost of ownership. They are the most powerful chips in the world, but they are also power-hungry and expensive. There is growing demand for more affordable chips, which are not as powerful as Nvidia's but are well suited to specific tasks, and that's where Broadcom comes in.

Broadcom expects its AI revenue to reach $120 billion by 2030, up from $20 billion this year. For perspective, its total revenue is $60 billion on a trailing-12-month basis.

Beyond chips, Broadcom also offers advanced networking solutions that allow chips to handle massive data flow for AI training workloads. As CEO Hock Tan recently said at a **Goldman Sachs** conference, "The network becomes the computer," not just the chip.

Broadcom's offering of specialized AI chips, or XPUs, and networking solutions position the company to meet demand for more intensive compute power. Its total revenue grew 22% year over year last quarter, while AI revenue specifically grew 63%, making up roughly a third of the business.

Broadcom has a long history of delivering operating excellence. The stock is up 2,500% over the last 10 years. Its $120 billion AI revenue target reflects management's confidence in the demand trajectory for AI compute, and importantly, Broadcom's competitive differentiation in the market to capture that opportunity.
