Apple Commits $30B to Broadcom for US Chip Production—July 8

Apple announced a $30 billion multiyear deal with Broadcom on Wednesday to design and produce custom wireless chips in the United States through 2031. The agreement includes a $1.5 billion expansion of Broadcom’s Fort Collins, Colorado facility and will produce more than 15 billion chips domestically. The deal marks Apple’s largest commitment under its American Manufacturing Program and aligns with the Trump administration’s push to expand domestic chip production.

The $30 billion partnership and what it covers

Apple and Broadcom struck the deal earlier this week, running through 2031. Broadcom will design and produce FBAR filters—radio-frequency chips that handle wireless connectivity in iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices. The agreement covers custom silicon components and advanced wireless technologies that Apple had been developing with Broadcom since at least 2023.

Broadcom’s Colorado expansion and job creation

Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to modernize its Fort Collins facility under the deal. The expansion will produce at least 15 billion chips and support hundreds of American jobs. Apple CEO Tim Cook said the components are “essential to delivering the incredible performance and connectivity our customers expect” and praised the Trump administration for supporting the project.

Why this matters for US manufacturing policy

The deal reflects Apple’s broader strategy to lock in long-term supply agreements and reduce dependence on Taiwan. Broadcom accounts for about 20 percent of Apple’s annual revenue, making it one of the chipmaker’s largest customers. Apple raised its total US investment commitment to $600 billion over four years in August 2025, adding $100 billion to its previous plan.

Stock market reaction and analyst outlook

Broadcom shares rose 4 percent on the news, while Apple shares fell marginally. Meyka grades both stocks B+ with a Buy recommendation. AVGO trades at $386.91 with a 12-month forecast of $395.50, while AAPL sits at $309.08 with a yearly target of $288.30. Both face elevated valuations: AAPL trades at 37.6x earnings and AVGO at 59.5x, though analyst consensus remains bullish with 8 Buy ratings each against minimal Sell ratings.

Final Thoughts

The $30 billion Broadcom deal signals Apple’s commitment to US sourcing amid geopolitical pressures, but both stocks’ high valuations and technical overbought signals warrant caution. Meyka’s B+ grades and analyst consensus suggest limited upside from current levels.
