Records before Q3 FY2026 are reconstructed from the latest snapshot. Ledger: findings.json. Correction of 20 October 2026: Annalist left the amortisation of intangible assets that Broadcom reports on a line of its own out of depreciation and amortisation: US$0.57 billion for fiscal 2025 against US$8.64 billion with it. Broadcom reports its quarterly amortisation since its 10-Qs of fiscal 2026 only, so the quarters before fiscal 2025 have no depreciation and amortisation. Dividends per share of 6 quarters are no longer published: 5 fourth quarters derived from the figures of 2 filings and the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which the set of filings of that quarter does not report. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 showed minus 10.66, the year restated for the stock split of 10 for 1 less 9 months before it. Records 102 and 103 state the corrected findings. Records 4, 6, 7, 19, 21, 34, 43, 53, 62, 64, 77, 85, 93, 96 and 100 cite figures that the correction changed. Correction of 21 October 2026: The balance sheet of Broadcom at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 gives no long-term debt that Annalist captures, while its balance sheet at the end of fiscal 2021 gives US$39.4 billion. Net debt, the credit metrics, return on invested capital and the accruals that use that date were understated and are no longer published. No finding cites the figures. Correction of 22 October 2026: Changes against a year earlier compared 2 figures of different bases where a stock split, a spin-off or a restatement came between the 2 periods. 4 growth values changed, among them diluted earnings per share growth for fiscal 2022, minus 82.3% before the correction and 76.9% on one basis. No finding states the changes concerned.
