How Broadcom’s CA Technologies Acquisition Affected Its Earnings

Broadcom (AVGO) is restructuring its newly acquired CA Technologies to align it with its own business model. It aims to change its perpetual licensing to a fully ratable subscription model subject to renewal at specific intervals, which could make licensing more flexible and affordable to customers. Broadcom plans to report CA Technologies’ earnings in its newly created Infrastructure Software segment, which comprises the mainframe, enterprise, and SAN (storage area network) businesses.
