Do you already know the CEO with the highest salary in the world? π΅ $AVGO π
Hock Tan, Broadcom's CEO who has led the company for 20 years, leads the company with creative and sophisticated strategies and spearheads a groundbreaking growth strategy... π΅
Since Tan took over as Broadcom's CEO in 2006, the company's stock has given investors a return of 22,000% β in just 20 years! π
Broadcom's annual return since 2009 β the year Broadcom went public under Tan's leadership:
2009: +12.96% 2010: +50.26% 2011: +3.96% 2012: +9.69% 2013: +62.77% 2014: +90.89% 2015: +45.05% 2016: +24.24% 2017: +44.08% 2018: β4.76% 2019: +24.65% 2020: +35.83% 2021: +56.49% 2022: β15.71% 2023: +101.68% 2024: +113.60% 2025: +49.19% ? 2026: Coming Soon...
Note what this man has to say about talks of an "AI slowdown" in demand... π±
Cramer asks Tan if talks of an artificial intelligence "slowdown" on Wall Street make him hesitate about Broadcom's guidance:
"No, not even a little bit β the demand for computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence is advancing at a very strong pace." π΅
These statements come against the backdrop of recent news that Anthropic is set to become Broadcom's largest custom chip customer in 2027 β surpassing Google. π±
Broadcom's revenue from AI chips is expected to reach $115 billion in fiscal year 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal year 2028. π
Broadcom already controls about 75% of the ASIC market for the artificial intelligence revolution, among its customers you can find:
GOOGL, OpenAI, Anthropic... π€
And Hock Tan says Anthropic will become its most aggressive and largest custom chip customer in 2027 β because artificial intelligence agent computations require even more work than currently expected. π¨
Hock Tan expects artificial intelligence revenue to grow from $58 billion in 2026 to $115 billion in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028. π΅
The main risks for Broadcom right now are concerns about the $42 billion funding for Anthropic β and a slowdown in the artificial intelligence arms race...
Internally β we noticed something interesting:
We identified 19 members of Congress who recently bought or hold Broadcom stock in their personal investment portfolios. πΊπΈ
Nancy Pelosi has held Broadcom since 2024 β and has never sold. πΊπΈ
Also β President Trump holds Broadcom in his personal portfolio and even bought this year β in January and July. π
Hock Tan is the man who took the reins of Broadcom back in 2006, when Broadcom was a small company worth $3,000,000,000 ($3 billion) β and led Broadcom to where it is today β a company worth $1,700,000,000,000 ($1.7 trillion) π
And regarding his annual salary:
Hock Tan earns $205,000,000 per year. βοΈ
In shekels β that comes out to βͺ700,000,000 annually β βͺ2 million per day.
