The KeyBanc Analyst: John Vinh reiterated an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $820 to $940.
Vinh appreciated Broadcom’s quantification of its AI exposure in its Networking segment and suggested there could be a significant upside to Broadcom’s full-year 2023 AI revenue expectations.
The Susquehanna Analyst: Christopher Rolland gave a Positive rating on the stock and raised the price target from $785 to $910.
The analyst was particularly taken by the company’s AI growth expectations, noting AI revenue growth may fill much of the void seen in the company’s core business with its AI revenue growing from $2.5 billion last year to an expected $4 billion this year and $7 billion in 2024.
The Bernstein Analyst: Stacy Ragson maintained Outperform rating on the stock, and raised the price target from $700 to $820.
Ragson applauded the company’s strong execution, customer management, and cash generation, noting that Broadcom’s presence in AI could support overall full-year 2024 semi-growth, even if the non-AI portions were to decline next year.
AVGO Price Action: Shares of Broadcom are trading 2.48% higher to $809.56, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
