How Do These Events Affect Broadcom Inc.'s Financial History?
Acquisitions and disposals break the comparison from one year to the next. Growth in fiscal 2018, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2023 and the year after mixes the existing business with what was bought or sold, so the 10-K's discussion of results, which usually separates the two, says more than the headline growth rate in those years.
A stock split changes every per-share figure before it: earnings per share, dividends per share and share counts in older filings are on a different basis until restated, so compare per-share history only in split-adjusted terms.
Earlier filings were made under a former name, which matters when searching EDGAR or older research; the company's CIK number (1730168) stays the same across names.
Each year shows the revenue from the latest 10-K that reported it, so a year a company later restated can differ from the figure it first published, and most companies moved to a new revenue tag after the 2018 change in revenue accounting.
