AI-related revenue soared 46% to $4.4 billion, with networking portfolio driving growth. Infrastructure software revenue rose 25% to $6.6 billion. Broadcom generated strong cash flow, ending the quarter with nearly $9.5 billion in cash. Forecasting a 21% revenue increase in fiscal Q3, with adjusted EBITDA around $10.4 billion.
