Nikada/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Since my last coverage , Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ) is down by 5.4%, but that pullback feels more like noise than signal. In fact, it looks like a rare opportunity. In reality, the core thesis has not changed. Demand in the hyperscaler space remains locked in, supply remains constrained, and Broadcom’s involvement in AI infrastructure continues to grow. Markets are moving around positioning and sentiment, especially in crowded positions. However, I see this pullback does not weaken the thesis. Instead, it refines it and makes it even more appealing to get involved in what looks like a structural AI compounder. Data by YCharts $100 Billion In 2027 AI Semiconductor Top Line From 10 GWs Of Compute Demand As I see it, Broadcom derives expanding top line from AI semiconductor ops. Q1-FY26 AI semiconductor top line hit $8.4 billion, and Accelerator top line expanded 140% YoY. With that, Broadcom executes supply deals extending into 2028 to secure wafer, substrate, and memory capacities. Securing these inputs ensures production continuity for six clients. OpenAI plans deployment of one GW of compute capacity in 2027. Anthropic plans one GW of compute capacity in FY26 and expects three GWs in 2027. Meta continues deployment of MTIA accelerators. Broadcom pairs compute units with networking components. The top line from networking is one-third of the total AI top line in Q1-FY26 and expanded 60% YoY. Broadcom projects top line from networking approaching 40% of AI revenue in Q2-FY26. Product-side, the Tomahawk 6 switch operates at 100 terabits per second and Broadcom in-build 200G SerDes and plans 400G SerDes integration for 2028. The product edge is that direct-attach copper components interlink XPU clusters, and copper components decrease power consumption and decrease expenses relative to optics. At the bottom line, operating income hit $12.8 billion. Adjusted EBITDA equaled $13.1 billion, representing 68% of the total top line...

Remember That 70s Show — bellbottoms, punk and all that disco glam? New data suggests we could also be headed toward an economic rerun of stagflation, another defining ‘70s trend, as some indicators start to flash red . As the war on Iran chokes the global energy supply, economies worldwide are entering a synchronized shock , revealing the looming risk of higher prices and crippled growth. Multiple purchasing manager indexes compiled by S&P Global for March showed marked declines. Among those released today, the euro zone ’s composite measure dropped more than predicted. An effort by US President Donald Trump to ameliorate market stress by delaying planned attacks against Iranian energy assets appeared to fizzle as Israel vowed to persist with strikes and Iran’s biggest Gulf Arab neighbors are said to weigh joining the war . Fund managers tell us they’re maintaining hedges, holding higher cash levels and closely tracking oil prices and Fed policy signals. What started as a human tragedy and geopolitical test is now turning into an energy shock whose fallout is impossible to avoid, writes Lionel Laurent for Bloomberg Opinion . As hopes for a quick peace deal fade , Europeans may soon have to reacquaint themselves with other cultural relics from the 1970s like charity shop chic . What You Need to Know Today Iran began charging transit fees for some commercial vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, another sign that Tehran intends to flex its control over the maritime channel critical to world energy flows . Insiders tell us payments of as much as $2 million per voyage are being sought on an adhoc basis, effectively creating an informal toll on the waterway. One ship to make the journey was a Chinese-owned fuel tanker that navigated a channel between Iranian islands to exit the Gulf. In other regional energy news, sources told us Iran stopped natural gas exports to Turkey following last week’s Israeli bombing of a key field. Those strikes caused prices for the f...

Goldman Sachs expects the liquefied natural gas market to stay disrupted through 2027 due to the U.S.-Iran war. The Wall Street investment bank thinks three companies can benefit from the new supply and demand dynamic. QatarEnergy's CEO Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters last week that attacks from Iran have knocked out 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity. About 3% of global LNG supply comes from Qatar, Goldman analyst John Mackay wrote in a note published Tuesday. With LNG margins already 200% higher on average for 2026 through 2028, Goldman believes tighter balances next winter and long timelines for new supply will continue to support the industry, even if demand growth weakens due to higher prices. One of the companies that stands to benefit is Venture Global , rated buy at Goldman with a 12-month price target of $18.50, implying 17% upside from Monday's close. "We see a clear and accelerating positive catalyst path, narrowing the cone of uncertainty around medium-term growth plans, and increasingly clear line of sight to funding levers and deleveraging, particularly given the company's leverage to higher global gas prices," Mackay wrote. VG mountain 2026-02-27 Venture Global since start of Iran war Goldman also raised its 2026 through 2028 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) estimates for Venture Global by 62% on average. Goldman also named Cheniere Energy as a beneficiary of a tighter market. The bank has a buy rating and a $312 price target on the stock, suggesting almost a 9% gain from Monday's close. Mackay said Cheniere's balance sheet and capital allocation strategy leaves it well-positioned to make large stock buybacks after it committed $1 billion in the third and fourth quarters of 2025. Lastly, Goldman highlighted Golar LNG , rated buy with a $60 price target. That would equate to a gain of more than 13% from Monday's close. A potential fourth floating LNG vessel commissioned by the company could drive earnings higher, and G...

alvarez Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said Canada is looking to boost natural gas flows to the U.S. to help meet the power needs of American data centers and increase LNG exports from the Gulf Coast. Hodgson told Bloomberg on Tuesday that he had a “wonderful conversation” with U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum about the matter this week at the CERAWeek energy conference. “We talked about how we could help send more gas down to help you export more off the Gulf Coast and to help you with your AI strategy,” Hodgson told Bloomberg. “Obviously a key component of the AI race is building more data centers. That requires more natural gas. We can provide that gas.” Hodgson also said that in order to maintain current output, Ottawa has asked Canadian oil sands producers to delay Q2 maintenance. "Right now we have asked them not to do that so they can keep producing and sending oil both to the United States and also to our allies around the world,” he added.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Sable Offshore ( SOC ) up 7.2% in Tuesday's trading after Bloomberg reported that Chevron ( CVX ) plans to buy 20K bbl/day of the first shipments of crude from Sable's platforms off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. " We're going to run Sable's crude at El Segundo in April," Chevron's ( CVX ) president of downstream, midstream, and chemicals Andy Walz told Bloomberg in an interview, referring to the company's Los Angeles fuel-making plant that can process 269K bbl/day of oil. "We think the Sable opportunity is a good thing for America," Walz said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. "We're taking American crude oil, putting it in American pipelines, running an American refinery and selling those products to American motorists, and it's going to be cheaper than importing." Sable's ( SOC ) project could quickly start pumping 45K-55K bbl/day of crude when it is restarted—a drop in the bucket compared to U.S. petroleum demand that totals ~20M bbl/day, but a significant amount of oil for California. Earlier this month , Energy Secretary Chris Wright acted on an executive order from President Trump to allow Sable ( SOC ) to restart its Santa Ynez pipeline system in California.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Andrew Bosworth, the technology chief at Meta Platforms ( META ), is taking over supervision of the company’s efforts to become AI native, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing an internal memo. Bosworth will oversee Meta’s ‘AI For Work’ initiative, which was previously led by Guy Rosen, the memo reportedly said. "As I’ve been digging in, I’ve found we have a lot to be proud of. The early pilots, the willingness to pressure-test new ideas, and the speed at which we’ve enabled teams to embrace AI tools has created real momentum and sets us up for this next phase," Bosworth reportedly said in the memo to employees, which was seen by WSJ. The news on Bosworth comes amid the scaleback of metaverse efforts at the company's Reality Labs unit, which is also helmed by him, following over $80B in losses since 2021.

San Diego, CA - March 23: Travelers stand in a long Transportation Security Administration (TSA) line that wrapped throughout Terminal 1 at San Diego International Airport on March 23, 2026 in San Diego, CA. K.C. Alfred | The San Diego Union | Getty Images Senators and the White House appear near to a deal to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security and end the partial government shutdown as the shutdown's second month leads to worsening airport delays. According to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity on Tuesday, talks are still underway, but "this deal seems to be acceptable." President Donald Trump has said he wants to not only fund DHS but include other changes such as prohibitions on transgender care and a voter-ID measure. The agreement, as reported by multiple news outlets, would include funding for all of DHS except for a portion of its Immigration and Customs Enforcement budget. It would also plan for Republicans to pursue a party-line bill that could make up that ICE funding and include a version of the SAVE America Act , the Trump-backed elections bill that would implement national voter-ID mandates and require proof of citizenship to register.
