I can't say it's not possible, but Broadcom (the corporation, not the semiconductor division within Broadcom) acts more like a holding company. I'd make a comparison to private equity but the goal there is typically to flip the company for a profit. Broadcom's goal is typically to milk high-margin sales for established companies. Purchase, identify the most profitable parts, and cull everything else. Their MO is typically not strategic acquisitions for innovation. If any of their acquisitions can be called strategic it would be in how much the company's top customers align with Broadcom's, which allows them to increase vendor lock-in and jack the price.
