Broadcom's AI Financing Could Reach $370 Billion. But It's Not as Bad as It Sounds.

Bank of America downgraded Broadcom's debt over concerns about a new $370 billion AI financing platform the company created with Apollo Global Management and Blackstone. However, the $370 billion represents a modeled ceiling on future hypothetical deals, not actual debt. Broadcom has currently committed only $29 billion on the first transaction, with potential losses capped at that amount. The company's strong earnings growth (88% YoY) provides cushion against downside risks.
