Sometimes, news comes along that fundamentally changes how investors should view a stock moving forward. However, this news may not always be obvious. That was certainly the case when Broadcom revealed in a filing that it extended its agreement with Alphabet to develop and supply future generations of Alphabet's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).

There does seem to be some flexibility in the agreement, with the announcement saying it is dependent on Anthropic's commercial success. Anthropic already has an order with Broadcom to deploy $21 billion worth of TPUs this year.
