A fabless chip and software firm, Broadcom designs custom AI accelerators (XPUs), Ethernet switching silicon, and radio-frequency modules, plus VMware Cloud Foundation and other enterprise software for data centers, wireless devices, and large companies. It descends from a 1961 Hewlett-Packard semiconductor division that became Avago Technologies, which merged in 2016 with the original Broadcom Corporation, founded in 1991 by UCLA professor Henry Samueli and his PhD student Henry Nicholas. Its name blends "broadband" and "communications," and roughly half its workforce is in research and development.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -5.58M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
