Broadcom, Okta report strong quarters
Broadcom, Okta report strong quarters.
Broadcom reported its fourth quarter financial results on Wednesday amid rising tensions with Qualcomm's board of directors. The company delivered net income of $671 million, or $1.50 per share. Non-GAAP earnings were $4.59 a share on revenue of $4.84 billion.
Wall Street was looking for earnings of $4.52 per share on revenue of $4.83 billion. Broadcom's shares were up just over two percent in late trading.
In prepared remarks, Broadcom chief executive Hock Tan touted the company's prowess when it comes to mergers and acquisitions -- a statement that's likely a swipe at Qualcomm's leadership for rejecting Broadcom's unsolicited $130 billion buyout offer.
"We also closed the acquisition of Brocade early in the first fiscal quarter of 2018, adding to our very successful track record of highly accretive M&A."
