Apple (AAPL) extended a massive semiconductor supply contract worth over $30 billion to Broadcom (AVGO), and the plan to produce 15 billion US-made chips ignited Broadcom's stock price.

According to the US economic media Nasdaq on July 9 (local time), Broadcom's stock price rose on news that it had signed a large-scale supply contract with Apple. The two companies will jointly develop customized silicon components and advanced wireless connectivity technologies to be installed in a wide range of Apple products.

The multi-year contract is valued at over $30 billion, and more than 15 billion chips are expected to be produced in the United States. Apple has committed to investing $600 billion in the US by 2030 to build a complete semiconductor supply chain within the country, and Broadcom will expand its manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, as part of the collaboration.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated, "Apple and Broadcom have a long history of collaboration, and this new phase of partnership further accelerates our commitment to American manufacturing and innovation." The collaboration between Apple and Broadcom focuses on expanding semiconductor production in the United States.

Apple can diversify its semiconductor supply chain, reducing its reliance on geopolitically risky regions like Taiwan. Broadcom has also taken on a key supplier role in Apple's expansion of US-made chip production.

Investment in domestic production also aligns with the policy direction of the Donald Trump administration, which prioritizes domestic manufacturing. The supply contract exceeding $30 billion and the plan to produce 15 billion US-made chips have emerged as key factors driving Broadcom's stock price increase.
