Developments In VMware
VMware will report its second-quarter financial results on 31 August, 2023. The consensus has estimated the revenue to be $3.452 Billion and the earnings per share to be $1.719. Out of the last four quarters, alternate two results have been positive.
Broadcom’s 50% cash and 50% stock proposal to buy VMware is expected to get regulatory approval. The planned takeover of VMware has been cleared by British regulators, leaving the approval of China as the last major obstacle to the deal.

The goal is to offer business customers the ability to customize large language models that use customer internal data to create private models for internal usage.
