The AI spending boom is sending chipmakers and cloud providers back to lenders.

Broadcom’s OpenAI Plans Bring Another Financing Push

Broadcom is working to arrange more than $50 billion for the custom AI chip it is developing with OpenAI, according to reports. Apollo and Blackstone are among the firms approached about participating. The discussions remain preliminary, and the amount could change.

In addition other set of reports revealed early discussions involving approximately $30 billion in debt, with no formal process underway. The differing figures leave the eventual size and structure unsettled.

This AI chip financing effort follows an existing relationship. In June, Broadcom announced a platform backed by Apollo and Blackstone, launching with a $35 billion transaction for Anthropic’s computing expansion. It should be noted that the platform targets more than 20 gigawatts of capacity through 2028. This shows how far the funding commitments extend beyond one chip order.

Oracle Looks to Fund Hardware Before Revenue Arrives

Oracle is holding another set of discussions with Apollo and Goldman Sachs over a major chip purchase. Its challenge is timing and equipment spending comes before the cloud revenue that will help pay for it. A proposed arrangement would have investors finance an entity that buys hardware and leases it to Oracle.

SpaceX is also discussing approximately $40 billion to purchase Nvidia chips. These parallel efforts show the growing role of outside capital in funding AI infrastructure.

Broadcom Stock Outpaces Oracle in ROI Comparison

MarketCapOf’s ROI Calculator for January 1–October 8 shows AVGO stock at roughly 1.08 times its starting value, against 0.74 times for Oracle.

Those rounded multiples translate into an approximately 8% gain for Broadcom stock and a 26% decline for Oracle. On a price-only basis, a hypothetical $1,000 investment would therefore be worth around $1,080 and $740, respectively.

The financing push also comes amid heavy concentration in AI stocks. The Kobeissi Letter puts its “AI Big 10,” including Broadcom, at 42% of US stock-market capitalization. With so much market value tied to the theme, investors have reason to watch both hardware demand and the terms lenders offer.
