This followed a regulatory filing that Broadcom Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AVGO) board of directors moved to grant CEO Hock Tan a total of 610,521 performance stock units (PSU) that could generate him more than $676.89 million over the next five years.

Under the terms, the PSUs will be awarded if Tan can make Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) generate $120 billion in AI revenues by 2030.

In case the maximum revenue target is not met, Tan will still be able to receive a 200-percent payout percentage of the PSU if the company books $105 billion in AI revenues; 100 percent in case of $90 billion in AI revenues; and none if the company clocks in $60 billion and below by the said timeline.

In case Tan leaves the company early, he could lose the award completely, except if for a good reason or is let go without cause, dies, or becomes permanently disabled.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the company generated $12.2 billion in AI revenues, expanding 220 percent year-on-year.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) generated $5.2 billion in revenues from AI.
