Broadcom reports fiscal Q3 earnings after the market closes on September 2.Wall Street expects about $29.4 billion in revenue and $3.23 in adjusted EPS. $Broadcom(AVGO)$ The bigger story is custom AI chips. OpenAI has been working with Broadcom on a custom inference chip called Jalapeño. Early tests reportedly showed better power efficiency and faster response times than Nvidia’s GB300. That does not mean Broadcom is about to replace Nvidia.It is still early. The chip is focused on inference, has not been tested against Rubin, and large-scale production is not expected until late next year. But the trend matters: More AI companies want chips built around their own models and costs — and Broadcom could be one of the biggest winners. What to expect？
