Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) is a global technology company that designs, develops and supplies a broad range of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions.

A stock's price history shows its nominal performance but not its real growth in purchasing power. To understand an investment's true performance, we must account for inflation. This page adjusts Broadcom's historical stock prices using the US Consumer Price Index, stripping away the effects of inflation. The charts and data below allow you to compare the nominal price with its real value over time, revealing a clearer picture of Broadcom's long-term growth.

Nominal prices are adjusted for stock splits and assume reinvestment of any dividends to reflect total return. Inflation-adjusted prices use September 2025 as the baseline (latest available CPI).

The current value of Broadcom Inc. stock is 381.03 (as of the close of Dec 4, 2025), 5.44% lower than the all-time high of 402.96 (Nov 28, 2025).

Since August 6, 2009, the inflation-adjusted total return for the stock has been 20,926%, which is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 38.76%.

In nominal values, the total return since this date has been 31,541%, or an annualized rate of 42.27%.

2024	104.69%	110.6%
2023	97.54%	104.16%

Broadcom Inc. Stock: Average Annualized Returns

Annualized returns show the average rate of growth per year, making it easier to compare performance across different time periods. While nominal returns indicate the headline growth, adjusting for inflation reveals the actual change in purchasing power.

This table presents both nominal and inflation-adjusted average annual returns for Broadcom over various trailing periods ending September 30, 2025, offering a clearer view of long-term, real investment performance.

Period	Avg. Annual Return (Inflation-Adjusted)	Avg. Annual Return (Nominal)
Last 1 year	87.51%	93.16%
Last 3 years	92.66%	98.53%
Last 5 years	52.02%	58.91%
Last 10 years	37.94%	42.3%

Real Returns of Investing in the Broadcom

The chart and table below show the nominal and inflation-adjusted value of a hypothetical $100 investment over various long-term historical periods, ending in September 2025.

The inflation-adjusted line, in green, represents the real increase in purchasing power for the initial investment. Observe the gap between both lines, which illustrates the cumulative effect of inflation over time.

Even over just five years, inflation takes a noticeable bite out of investments. Investing $100 in the Broadcom five years ago yielded an 1,303% nominal gain, but the real return (the actual increase in buying power) was 1,018%.

As investment periods get longer, the difference between reported nominal returns and the inflation-adjusted gains usually becomes much greater due to the compounding effect of inflation over time.

Investment Period	What $100 Grew To (Nominal)	Total Nominal Return (%)	Total Inflation-Adjusted Return (%)
Last 5 years Feb 2020 - Sep 2025	$1,403.4	1,303%	1,018%
Last 10 years Feb 2015 - Sep 2025	$3,364.35	3,264%	2,331%

Inflation and Broadcom's Business

As a key player in the semiconductor and software industries, Broadcom's operations are moderately affected by inflation through supply chain costs and enterprise demand.

Manufacturing and Supply Chain: The semiconductor industry is capital-intensive. Inflation increases the costs of raw materials, fabrication equipment and energy, which can compress profit margins.
Enterprise Spending: Broadcom's infrastructure software solutions are sold to large enterprises. During periods of high inflation and economic uncertainty, businesses may delay or reduce IT spending, impacting software revenue.
Research and Development: Attracting and retaining top engineering talent is crucial. Wage inflation can drive up R&D expenses, a significant part of Broadcom's budget.
Pricing Power: Broadcom's leadership position in many of its product categories provides it with strong pricing power, allowing it to pass on some increased costs to its customers.

Broadcom mitigates inflationary pressures through its focus on mission-critical products for which demand is less elastic. The company's long-term agreements with major customers and its operational efficiency help manage costs. Its dual focus on both hardware and software provides a level of diversification.
