Broadcom Inc. is one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies and has also built a significant presence in infrastructure software. Its chip business is mainly focused on computing and networking, with custom AI accelerators now representing the majority of operations. Broadcom primarily operates as a fabless chip designer, though it retains some in-house manufacturing, including its leading film bulk acoustic resonator filters used in Apple iPhones. On the software side, the company provides virtualization, infrastructure, and security solutions to large enterprises, financial institutions, and government customers. Broadcom has grown through consolidation, combining businesses from legacy Broadcom and Avago Technologies in semiconductors, along with VMware, Brocade, CA Technologies, and Symantec in software.
Caterpillar Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives. The company reports results across Construction Industries, Resource Industries, and Energy & Transportation, with market share nearing 20% in many product categories. Caterpillar also operates a captive finance subsidiary that helps support equipment sales. Its business has a broad global footprint, with revenue roughly balanced between the United States and international markets. The construction segment is more heavily weighted toward the domestic market, while the other divisions are more geographically diversified. An independent dealer network of more than 150 dealers runs approximately 2,800 locations, extending Caterpillar’s sales and service presence to about 190 countries.
