A new $35 billion plan to build AI infrastructure solidifies Broadcom as a top growth stock to buy. Meanwhile, Apple's strategy of not overspending on AI development is suddenly looking like a smart move as other AI stocks face sell-offs.

## Idea

The massive $35 billion AI infrastructure initiative highlights the deep demand for Broadcom's custom networking chips. Simultaneously, Apple's cautious approach to AI spending is being rewarded by the market, as investors seek safe havens amid a rotation out of overhyped AI stocks. Pairing a high-growth infrastructure play like Broadcom with a defensive giant like Apple provides balanced exposure to the tech sector.
