Nvidia is rolling out Blackwell, its next-generation AI chip architecture. Meanwhile, Broadcom is chasing what could be a $90 billion opportunity by 2027.

With shares in an overbought situation following their earnings, Broadcom stock was in need of a short-term “correction” that would allow the stock to rest and provide an opportunity for investors to “buy the dip” before advancing higher in January.

The competition for leadership in the AI chip market is intensifying, with Broadcom Inc. positioning itself as a formidable challenger to Nvidia Corporation in the years ahead.

Nvidia is one of the most popular AI stocks right now because of its lead in the semiconductor space. The company's graphics processing units (GPUs) have been used in data centers for years, and once tech giants began competing for generative AI dominance, the chips were even more in demand.
