Broadcom, the chip maker, continues to flourish in 2023, with its stock (ticker: AVGO) surging by 51% this year. In comparison, the S&P 500 index has risen by only 16%. Achieving a closing price of $844.60 on Tuesday, the shares remain close to their all-time high of $923.67, reached on Aug. 31. The company's strong earnings reports and its association with artificial intelligence have made it an attractive investment.
