Broadcom Inc. stock (ISIN US11135F1012) closed at USD 361.99 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2026, as investors weighed strong recent AI chip revenue growth against guidance and regulatory noise around VMware licensing changes.

Dividend and recent earnings underpin Broadcom

According to StockTitan on September 13, 2026, Broadcom reported first quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 19,311 million, an increase of 29 percent from the prior-year period, driven largely by demand for AI semiconductors.

The same filing summary notes that Broadcom's board declared a quarterly cash dividend of USD 0.65 per share, payable on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record as of September 21, 2026, which annualizes to USD 2.60 and implies a dividend yield of around 0.7 percent at the recent price level.

Analysts lift price targets on AI strength

Recent analyst commentary continues to focus on Broadcom's position in AI infrastructure and custom chips. As The Motley Fool reported on September 13, 2026, Piper Sandler initiated coverage of Broadcom with a share-price target of USD 460, implying roughly 27 percent upside from current levels.

In parallel, according to MarketBeat on September 13, 2026, Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target on Broadcom shares from USD 525 to USD 600 while maintaining an overweight rating, and MarketBeat cites a consensus target price of USD 505.97 with a consensus rating classified as Moderate Buy.

Regulatory scrutiny over VMware licensing is a key risk

Beyond earnings and analyst support, a current point of attention for Broadcom is regulatory interest in its VMware software licensing changes. A report translated by Zonebourse referencing MT Newswires on September 13, 2026 indicates that the European Commission is seeking comments on Broadcom's overhaul of VMware licensing following the acquisition, highlighting a potential regulatory overhang even as the stock trades around USD 361.99 and carries an average target near USD 531.85 per share.

Stock price and valuation snapshot

Per recent Nasdaq data cited by several financial portals, Broadcom stock closed at USD 361.99 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2026, up USD 1.16 or 0.32 percent from the prior close, with after-hours indications around USD 361.70 that evening.
