If the market for premium AI chips experiences a downturn, amid the rise of DeepSeek, it could create a domino effect, potentially hurting sales of Broadcom’s supporting technologies and components.

A frenzy over an artificial intelligence chatbot made by Chinese tech startup DeepSeek was upending stock markets Monday and fueling debates over the economic and geopolitical competition between the U.

A Chinese artificial-intelligence upstart has sent highflying technology stocks into a tailspin. The rise of China’s DeepSeek is disrupting the industry’s established order, but some players could actually thrive in the new landscape.
