Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) is an American developer and manufacturer of semiconductor software and infrastructure. Offering a variety of products, Broadcom has amassed a valuation of $1,243.10, with a YoY valuation growth of 102.11%.

With a recent surge in semiconductor demand, the overall market is expected to increase. In 2022, the industry grossed $573.44 billion in revenue, projected to jump to $1.380 trillion in 2029.

Financially, AVGO displayed strong economic pillars in their October 2023 quarter, growing in every key metric. Starting with revenue, AVGO reported $9.29 billion, a YoY growth of 4.09%. Further, net income and diluted EPS saw secure increases, bringing in $3.52 billion and 8.25, respectively, or YoY jumps of 4.91% and 14.74%. A trend of green across the board was reported for Broadcom all through fiscal year 2023, and projections forecast a similar trend for 2024.

Largely, look to Broadcom’s expansion of their VMware software and integration as a focal point in their stock growth. At the start of the year, Broadcom announced they would begin to integrate VMware into their capabilities, improving processing, storage, and overall performance of hardware services under their tech. At the same time, Broadcom is emphasizing AI as a full priority for its technologies and growing AI models. With partnerships with IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), we expect Broadcom to see an increase in productivity this year. Thus, it is one of my top picks as a contender for one of the next trillion-dollar companies.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) is a financial services firm and is the largest bank in the United States. Its stock has a valuation of $174.73, which is 25.76% more than last year.

JPM thrives in every financial metric, whether profitability, valuation, or growth. This is displayed by its various financial arrays, including its Net Income Margin (TTM) of 33.94%, which is 45.30% more than the sector median. Revenue Growth (YoY) was also lofty at 19.36%, which, compared to the measly 4.47% sector median, is 332.78% bigger. Price / Sales (TTM) is nearly 32.71% more than the median, and Price / Book (FWD) is 45.02% more. These metrics differentiate JPM from its competitors while showing an investor that it will continue growing quickly, making it incredibly valuable and profitable.

JPM purchased and bailed out First Republic Bank on May 1, 2023, and that acquisition allowed it to raise interest rates, thus causing its financials to skyrocket. Chase has a respectable reputation, and due to its large display of services ranging from auto loans to mortgages and its broad selection of credit cards, it isn’t a surprise that it is America’s leading financial service. Its reputation will only continue growing along with its branches, which are easily accessible nationwide. Overall, as Chase’s financials, services, and locations grow, its valuation will follow through, and with an increase in sales, it is only a matter of time before it becomes one of the next trillion-dollar companies.
