Just For You Why Taiwan Semiconductor and Meta Could Be the Hidden Bull Case for BroadcomReported by Leo Miller. Article Posted: 1/22/2026. 
What You Need to Know - Broadcom shares are struggling to recover after a steep December drop, down meaningfully in 2026.
- However, news coming from huge players in semiconductors and AI is fueling support for the stock's outlook.
- META's soon-to-be-released CapEx guidance could result in the next significant move for AVGO shares.
After a weak close to 2025, shares of semiconductor giant Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) have continued to face pressure in 2026. Year-to-date, shares are down nearly 4%. Still, Broadcom isn't alone in the pullback: artificial intelligence (AI) processor stock NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) is also down about 4.5%. Despite the 2026 tumble, recent announcements from key AI players point to promising demand for Broadcom's products. Developments at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) suggest the momentum in Broadcom's business could continue in 2026 and beyond. TSMC Signals Strong AI Accelerator Demand Going Forward On Jan. 15, TSMC released its latest earnings report, and the quarter's results were strong. Revenues rose by more than 25%, well above the roughly 19% growth analysts had forecast. As one of Broadcom's key manufacturing partners, TSMC's strong sales are an indicator of healthy upstream demand for Broadcom and its customers. More importantly, TSMC projects continued strength. For 2026 the firm sees sales rising close to 30%, only slightly below its 2025 growth of 31.6%, signaling sustained demand from Broadcom's customer base. TSMC also reported growth projections specific to AI-accelerator revenues—the category that includes Broadcom's XPUs as well as NVIDIA's GPUs. TSMC expects AI-accelerator sales to grow at a compound annual rate approaching the mid-to-high 50% range from 2024 to 2029, up from its prior long-term forecasts in the mid-40% range. That points to stronger-than-expected, durable demand in a segment important to Broadcom. Meta Compute Benefits AVGO's Custom Chip Outlook Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg also made an implicit nod to Broadcom during his Meta Compute announcement, describing the initiative as the company's plan to greatly expand data-center capacity over the coming years and decades. Within the announcement, Zuckerberg referenced the company's "silicon program," its effort to develop chips in-house. While the two companies have not officially confirmed a partnership, Broadcom is widely believed to be Meta's partner in developing those chips. Meta calls them Meta Training and Inference Accelerators (MTIA). Meta's commitment to custom silicon is logical. In June 2025, Meta released a research paper on its second-generation MTIA 2i, finding that on supported models the MTIA 2i reduced the company's total cost of ownership by 44% versus GPUs. Although impressive, Meta has only deployed that second-generation chip at scale, leaving room for further improvements in future generations. Broadcom's largest custom-chip development partner is Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which recently released the seventh edition of its tensor processing unit (TPU). Goldman Sachs notes TPU v7 offers about a 70% reduction in cost per token versus TPU v6—dramatically improving the economics of AI workloads and putting it "on par" with NVIDIA's Grace Blackwell 200, according to Goldman. These developments highlight the potential benefits Meta could realize by continuing to develop chips with Broadcom. Meta's mention of its silicon program within Meta Compute signals a long-term commitment to in-house chip capabilities, which should support Broadcom's outlook as Meta's demand for custom chips grows. That said, today's co-development doesn't guarantee a permanent relationship. Still, Broadcom's demonstrated success with Google strengthens the case for continued collaboration with Meta. META's 2026 CapEx Guidance: A Potential Catalyst for AVGO Despite Broadcom's slow start to 2026, potential catalysts remain. Meta is set to report its full-year 2025 earnings on Jan. 28, and analysts expect the company to release its capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance for 2026. Given Meta's relationship with Broadcom, its planned spending could move AVGO shares materially in either direction.
