Broadcom Gains Ground on AI-Driven Growth as $6.66 Billion Volume Ranks 12th Most Active

Broadcom (AVGO) closed 0.11% higher on September 24, 2025, with a trading volume of $6.66 billion, ranking 12th in market activity for the day. The stock's performance was influenced by strategic developments in its semiconductor and enterprise software divisions, which analysts highlighted as key growth drivers.

Recent reports emphasized Broadcom's expansion in AI chip development, with industry observers noting increased demand for its data center solutions. The company's partnership with Microsoft to optimize cloud infrastructure further solidified its position in high-margin technology markets. These moves align with broader industry trends toward AI adoption, positioning Broadcom to benefit from sustained capital expenditures in computing infrastructure.

Analysts also pointed to Broadcom's disciplined acquisition strategy, which has strengthened its portfolio of enterprise software assets. The company's focus on integrating recent acquisitions into scalable platforms has been cited as a factor in its consistent revenue growth. Market participants remain attentive to its ability to maintain profit margins amid rising R&D investments in next-generation chip technologies.

To run this strategy accurately we need to make a few practical choices up-front: Universe - Do you want the entire U.S. listed equity universe (≈ 7 000 symbols) or a narrower set such as the Russell 3000 or S&P 1500? Stocks that have been delisted during the period – should we include them? "Top 500 by volume" - Should the ranking be based on dollar volume (Price × Shares) or share volume? Is the ranking done on today’s close and the trade executed at next-day’s open (standard) or do you prefer another convention? Portfolio construction - Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day (most common), or weight by volume/market-cap? Transaction costs or slippage to include? Benchmark (optional) - Would you like the results compared with SPY or another index? The back-test engine we can run will faithfully follow whatever rules you choose, but the inputs above must be fixed first. Let me know your preferences (or tell me to apply reasonable defaults) and I’ll proceed with the full back-test from 2022-01-03 to today.
