What the company does
Broadcom makes semiconductors (data-center networking chips, custom AI chips for Google/Meta, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, iPhone radio chips) and software (VMware virtualization, Symantec security). Its money comes from chip sales and VMware subscriptions.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-07-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $1666.69B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 23.9% of total assets (2026-07-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
