Two-sided FY27 EPS conversion gate behind Broadcom's forward multiple
AI backlog and software stabilization pump a FY27 consensus EPS step-up into a conversion gate; a converted step-up sustains the de-rated multiple and the re-rating headroom to the upside, while a shortfall forces either the multiple or the price to give, landing at the downside.
