Broadcom's product offerings serve the data center, networking, software, broadband, wireless, storage, and industrial markets.

Tan Hock Eng is the company's president and CEO.[4][5] The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.[6] Avago Technologies Limited took the Broadcom part of the Broadcom Corporation name after acquiring it in January 2016. The ticker symbol AVGO which represented old Avago now represents the newly merged entity. The Broadcom Corporation ticker symbol BRCM was retired. At first the merged entity was known as Broadcom Limited, before assuming the present name in November 2017.
In October 2019, the European Union issued an interim antitrust order against Broadcom concerning anticompetitive business practices which allegedly violate European Union competition law.[7]
In May 2022, Broadcom announced an agreement to acquire VMware in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $69 billion. The acquisition was closed on November 22, 2023.[8]
Amid the AI boom, the company's market capitalization exceeded US$1 trillion for the first time in December 2024, making Broadcom one of the most valuable companies in the world.[9]
