Broadcom Backs $63B SPV to Lease AI Chips to Anthropic
AVGO is trading near its 52-week low of $289.96 (14% above the low).
Summary
Broadcom lined up a $63B special purpose vehicle, led by Bank of America, Blackstone, Citi and Morgan Stanley, to buy its AI accelerators and networking gear and lease them to Anthropic. Deliveries are expected to start in 2027. Broadcom is providing residual value support equal to the first lien, which de-risks the lenders but leaves Broadcom with contingent exposure if the hardware's value falls short. This is the concrete structure behind the record chip financing reported in early October, and it extends the Anthropic compute commitments disclosed in September. The size matters for a company of Broadcom's scale: it locks in a multi-year demand pipeline, though revenue is future-dated and the ramp cadence is the open question. Watch for binding order schedules, unit volumes and revenue recognition terms tied to the 2027+ deliveries.
