(Reuters) -Broadcom said on Monday it was launching a new share buyback program of up to $10 billion, set to run through the end of the year, sending its shares up nearly 3% in extended trading.
CEO Hock Tan said the move reflects confidence in Broadcom's semiconductor and infrastructure software franchises, particularly its position in artificial intelligence-related investments.
Shares of Palo Alto, California-based Broadcom, which has a market value of about $724.76 billion, closed about 5% higher on Monday, snapping a two-day losing streak amid U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff announcement.
Broadcom, which supplies semiconductors to Apple, last month forecast strong second-quarter revenue and hinted about new potential customers that could boost revenue in a highly competitive market.
