- I’m sure most of you are familiar with the big tech company list. You know, companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Nvidia, but have you ever heard of a company called Broadcom? Maybe, you’ve heard of Broadcom in passing but did you know that Broadcom is now the 9th largest tech company in the world with a market cap of over $570 billion? In fact, Broadcom stock has actually outperformed some of the most notable companies out there including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. And if you thought that those companies were monopolistic and domineering, well then, you need to know about the shadiness of Broadcom. Broadcom’s golden product is their internet chips which have made them a necessity for virtually everyone in the world, and Broadcom has leveraged this position to the max. This video explains the history and shady activities of the $570 billion shadow tech company that you need to know about.

What I find crazy is that IBM still holds the second largest patent portfolio in tech, and its behind Samsun in first.
Ah hahaha, makes sense
Yea... I've been with them for about 2 years now, as soon as I joined I saw how dedicated and invested IBM is to Patents. (Even with the recent announcement of them not pursuing first place!)
I think you misspelled "Samsung".
@@EnriqueMcQuade mayyybeeee
IBM has vast numbers of patents, but the sale of their machines and the renting out of their software to people who use other makers' machine are both businesses which depend on patents owned by others.
IBM was originally a rather nasty and not altogether honest company named Computing-Tabulating-Recording Corporation, but they realised early on that there was more money to be made by going straight and, perhaps more importantly, locking in the government as a customer.
So they changed around, changed their name, wrote echange agreements with everybody, "our patents are free to you if yours are free to us," and put a lot of energy into making tabulating machinery essential to America's decennial census.
By WWII, half of their business was with the US government, and everything that later became computing was "IBM and the seven dwarfs" -- even though those seven other companies had thousands of patents, too.
My dad used to work for them, back when Samueli was still in charge. He was an EMC engineer in their R&D division. According to him, they were his greatest employer by far. They treated their people very well; even their technicians were given RSUs.
That’s all changed under Hock. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. They are all about maximizing profits and have average benefits for a modern tech company.
@LCARLTON Yeah, that's what he told me as well. He left as those changes were being implemented, around late 2013 I think
@LCARLTON my father worked for Broadcom since 2001. He passed away while working for Hock in 2019. Hock is a ruthless cost cutter who unfortunately doesn’t care about the effects of his cost cutting. Samueli and Hock both make sure to reward their hardest working engineers. I can assure you that
@@LDrumsOhio Every company is either great for employees but not for shareholders, or great for shareholders and not that good for employees. Hock is great for shareholders
they have a No BS policy such as woke etc lol, simply work and get paid kinda attitude
People in the tech industry were shocked that the VMware acquisition was allowed to happen. We knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as the transaction was complete.
Are you bald?
Baldie
@@typicalgamer5560 @quadkon3577 What the hell does that have to do with the OP? Also RUDE...
@@typicalgamer5560he's definitely bald.
Linux users understand that Broadcom should be avoided. It’s bad when your GPU needs a proprietary driver not shipped with the kernel, but when your network card needs a driver, now you’re in a catch 22.
Yeah, QUALCOMM or Intel network cards for life, Broadcom and Realtek network cards are bitches when it comes to Linux driver support.
Nvidia is also like Broadcom
@@smallcube-zn2mm Nvidia however tends to make drivers widely available.
Not always right up to date latest for Linux, but those are generally gaming driven and game makers aren't often Linux friendly.
Finally well researched and pertinent. Like the SAP review.
Long time no comment. Thanks for sharing. There’s a Broadcom in my city so this was extra interesting. Didn’t realize they were so massive. Have you thought about doing a video about Otter Box? Or maybe their industry? I think it could be a neat story. Anyways thanks again for sharing, can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thanks for the suggestion about Otter Box man. Also, appreciate you commenting again :)
You're bald bro
@@smallqwaro 😭
Nice video. Its interesting that some powerful and critical infrastructure companies are barely known by anyone and continues to deliver their services maintaining a low profile.
Crazy right?
Like Ericsson. Used to be quite a good employer in the 1980s and 90s...
You're bald
@@LogicallyAnswered Doesn't China control it's own internet? I'm pretty sure is more than 1%
you are bald
Broadcom is also at the (dark) heart of every Raspberry Pi cheap amateur computer board; a PI is not just plain ARM.
im watching this on a 3b+ xD
ARM created the designs - ONLY.
Other folks manufacture chips using those designs.
Can you do a video on Stripe pls. Love how this channel grown from violin to elite analysis.
I know broadcom as this company which doesn't want to open anything in their technology. No open-source Linux drivers for routers with broadcom chipset.
Also seems like their vmware acquisition didn't go well. A lot of people are moving away from it.
I wish them to either fail or be more open in their software.
Can u make a video on Qualcomm?
Thanks for the suggestion Terrel!
Great video brother!! Thanks!!
Thank you as always Daniel!
Great video.
Damn it. This guys is so good, he has me clicking on the next video, the next one after that, and so on.
I came in like an acquisition ball.
I never bought so much before.
All I wanted was to own your patents.
All you ever did was wreck me.
0:31 the log scale on Y axis graph is more meaningful
Fair enough
It surprising how much 🤔 money you can make in tech doing less glamorous and anonymous background works
Indeed
Another logically answered banger
🙏
The "symbioses" between Big Tech and Big Fin is quite a fertile docu arena and this Channel is doing a great job highlighting this.
Youre great man
🙏
can you please do video about a Cisco or Juniper
It’s the 8th largest tech company now, since Tesla is imploding.
Which products or services they sell ?
Invest in that big tech!! It’s not going away anytime soon!!
You started saying broadcom was part of HP and then said Broadcom was founded by a professor at UCLA. So confusing? What's the connection ? Thank you
Different branches of today's agglomeration
Agilent (HP) became Avago and in 2015, Avago bought Broadcom (Professor & Student) and took their name. Broadcom today still has the stock ticker symbol of Avago ( AVGO).
Avago aquired Broadcom outright. The name was going to stay Avago until Broadcom offered $1B to keep 'Broadcom'. That's why the stock symbol is AVGO and not BRCM.
I mean what could they even do if someone starts to produce similar or better chips for a better price, in a country like Russia where with the right conections sueing them would just not work, export it to China or India, where these companies just assemble them. Why does nobody think of such a thing? It could make billions and you would be practicly untouchable.
Will you go buy chips from a random company in a different country or go to someone reputable? 😂😂😂 that’s like me saying I’ll buy my iPhone off a China website just becuase I can get it at a better price. There is something called export controls and companies don’t randomly buy chips from someone else just because they can produce it for cheaper. There is IP and patents involved within those chips companies aren’t able to replace.
Can you make the breaking bad videos like before. I really miss those criminal business viseos. 😅
Hmmm, not sure what else to cover there and I feel like the channel audience has largely shifted since the breaking bad days. But I’ll keep it in mind. Maybe I can make more criminal business sort of videos.
Bro your voice gives me peace for some reason 😂
Most importantly, they make the chips for raspberry pis
How is that important
Good video. Ive watched the stock shoot up but didn't know anything about it. Too rich for my blood so i didn't even look into it
Hahaha, fair enough
it is an enterprise focused business, rarely known to consumers.
I just know them for the SoC on Raspberry Pi, lol
Can you please credit the movie scenes thst you feature? Thanks.
Whats more interesting for me is the greed and cruelty these companies evolve into as they become bigger and bigger. Am curious if majority of people become this greedy when put in the same situation...
majority of the population will become greedy, no doubt
Please a video about "sweet baby inc."
Tbh when you mention 570 billion and less known company, i kinda thought it was TSMC you are talking about.
Broadcom's real name is Vanguard so no surprises as they own everything. Nvidia is also Vangaurd. Google is also Vangaurd. Apple is also Vangaurd.
And Vanguard is a family owned company
this time the narrator sounds
well rested good for him
What surprise me is how many more videos will he squeeze from FANNG
2nd video in a half hour to reference “in a good rush sell shovels “
Such cases say a lot about the state of antitrust regulations in the USA…
And in the world. Looks like antitrust regulations worked only when it's in plain view. Like GE and MS. There was GM too, at some point. Apple should come next, but not as a whole, only regarding some behaviors and policies. MS is starting to misconduct again and doesn't seem to have learn from past misfortunes.
Most companies like nVidia stay borderline. So the problem is even worst as there can be no legal actions against such companies.
3:37 It's Mega Man!
But more important is about to what extent the company is innovative and making profit.
But Can they buy a Dinosaur? 🤔 Its a mistery…
???? 😂
it wasnt the air force it was an air force contractor.
Oops, thanks for the clarification
yep.
Sounds like a great investment 👍
Why can’t any other company make wifi chips?
Because they need to make a functional chip without infringing on the current patents. This is why Netflix lost their lawsuit as they were using Broadcom's technology without paying to license it.
Crime pays gents!
This is massive monopoly within the tech industry. Broadcom needs to be broken up. No one company should have this much control on network devices. Especially if you look at it from a cyber security perspective. FTC needs to get involved and force a break up of their subsidiaries
Not happening keep crying tho
X? You mean times?
Nice DEI graphics...
Yo who are these guys though it’s some small garage making chips out of east Asia
Hahaha
Chips are useless without software.
You missed out on the acquisition of VMWare.
Is it using some AI voice modulation ?
wait i still dont really know what they do! haha
Broadcom ❤
Too subjective for my taste. To label the company toxic because of patent wars and takeovers? I mean, this is the tech industry we're talking about, that's the norm there. And we shouldn't forget what this company has done for the technological progress overall, glad you at least mentioned it. No mentioning of working conditions at all, though, and if we're talking about toxicity, this should be paid attention to. And I doubt it surpasses Amazon in terms of work conditions toxicity.
TSMC they are huge also -- the biggest chip maker in the world. Do a video about them. NVIDIA is buddy buddy with them now, while AMD has to be buddy buddy with Samsung
Make sure to have NVIDIA, Broadcom, AMD and Intel in your portfolio and forget them:)
BlackBerry also did backdating options to acquire high level Google engineers
Time to uninstall vmware, glad I didn't pay for the pro.
Guess who owns? Blackrock and Vanguard.
It's the jews
They own it all. Not surprised
Of course they would
Okay Mr. Boolean Algebra 😂
I am not racist but all of you must admit you were suprised too.
I consider Nvidia became first 4 trillion $ company at 2026 .
As there as (1.5 trillion $ )
And future (GPU And NPU Ai ) is in there hands .
Let see who matches Japan's GDP first😅
Dear Logically Answered, for new viewers your videos might be a banger. But for the rest of us who have been enjoying your content for a longer time, i can say your content feels repetitive and too focused on FANNG. Its starting to feel more like a script from GPT. Take time and make more interesting videos while avoiding burnout. CZcams isnt going anywhere. Slow down.
Really appreciate the honest constructive feedback Evan. Is there any other specific topics or ideas that you would be interested in watching other than FAANG.
@@LogicallyAnsweredyou could find quality companies for us to consider investing. :)
@@LogicallyAnsweredin my opinion you should make videos about a more wider range of companies from all over the world.
I’m disappointed i did not learn about this company sooner. i would have bought more shares
And they say trump didn’t anything good…
Hello
Hey DrDolt
Wow
Whatching from bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸 pin me please 😢😢

I'm glad he is making videos as a nerd than some goofy gymbro.
Overcompensating much?
