Broadcom Joins the $2 Trillion Club, and 4 of the 5 Vanguard ETFs That Just Underwent Stock Splits Hold It Broadcom has surpassed the $2 trillion market capitalization milestone, joining an elite group of companies that includes Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. The tech giant’s partnership with Alphabet’s Google Cloud has accelerated its growth in artificial intelligence (AI) chips and networking, with Broadcom’s AppNeta technology enabling network observability for Google’s cloud services. Google also unveiled new Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chips, the TPU 8t for AI training and the TPU 8i for AI inference, co-designed with Broadcom. The company’s custom AI chips and networking business have driven significant earnings growth, while its established non-AI semiconductor and software infrastructure operations provide a steady stream of free cash flow. This has supported consistent stock buybacks and 15 consecutive years of dividend increases. Despite hitting an all-time high on April 22, 2026, Broadcom remains a compelling long-term investment opportunity, though some investors may prefer ETFs to diversify exposure. Vanguard’s five major growth ETFs underwent stock splits on April 21, 2026, making it cheaper to invest in Broadcom, which is a top 10 holding in four of the funds. The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG), Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG), Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK), and Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) all include Broadcom, offering investors access to the stock at lower prices. These ETFs have expense ratios under $1 per $1,000 invested, with varying levels of diversification.#alphabet #google_cloud #vanguard #broadcom #voog
