- Monthly Taiwan supply chain tracker (MOPS): Monthly columns (Jan 2018 – Sep 2026) track NT$M operating revenue of Broadcom's primary wafer foundry TSMC (2330.TW, ~95% of Broadcom wafers), CoWoS/packaging & test partners ASE (3711.TW) and KYEC (2449.TW), ABF substrate supplier Unimicron (3037.TW), white-box Tomahawk switch ODM Accton (2345.TW), and GaAs RF foundry WIN Semiconductors (3105.TW).
- Bound disclosures excluded from numeric cells per Step 4 rules and recorded here: Q4 FY23 AI revenue ('close to $1.5B'), Q2 FY25 AI revenue ('over $4.4B', +46% y/y), Q2 FY26 AI semiconductor bookings ('over $30B'), Q4 FY25 AI switch backlog ('exceeds $10B'), Q4 FY25 & Q1 FY26 software TCV booked ('exceeded $10.4B' and 'exceeded $9.2B'), VCF customer adoption in Q2 FY24 ('close to 3,000'), Q4 FY24 ('over 4,500'), and Q2 FY25 ('over 87% of top 10,000 customers'), and Q3 FY25 Adjusted EBITDA guidance ('at least 66%').
- Subsidiary & parent-only evaluation: VMware standalone financials (Form 8-K/A) and post-acquisition ramp metrics (FY24 transcripts) are presented in Group 3. Broadcom reports under U.S. GAAP with no parent-only operating statements (Schedule I is not required), so consolidated − parent subtraction does not apply.
- Strict Step 4 compliance: Every cell displays a figure directly published by Broadcom or an authoritative external source, plus the two permitted period splits (Q4 = FY − 9M and quarterly cash flow = YTD − prior YTD, shown in italics with formula).
