Shares of Broadcom moved lower in premarket trading Thursday
following a published report that Alphabet's Google unit is looking
to drop the company as a supplier of artificial-intelligence chips
as early as 2027.
Business news website The Information, citing a person with
direct knowledge of the situation, reported that in this scenario
Google would fully design the chips, known as tensor processing
units, in-house in a move that could help it save billions of
dollars in annual costs.
Broadcom shares, which closed Wednesday at $830.57, were
recently down 7% in premarket trading at $772.
The Information also reported that Marvell Technology could
replace Broadcom as one of Google's AI chip development partners,
sending shares of Marvell up 5.1% to $55.65 in premarket
trading.
