Broadcom (AVGO)
In a report released today, Rick Schafer from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Broadcom, with a price target of $315. The company’s shares opened today at $286.46, close to its 52-week high of $296.91.
Schafer commented:
“Broadcom reported F1Q:19 (Jan.) earnings Thursday. Sales of $5.79B were in line with “unguided” consensus, while EPS of $5.55 easily topped the Street’s $5.22E as mgmt executes its time-tested M&A playbook. Mgmt astutely factored macro uncertainty and ongoing semi cycle correction into annual guidance last quarter and reaffirmed $24.5B guidance…much to investors’ relief. GM expanded 300bps Q/Q to 71.4%, largely due to the addition of CA. DC networking business grew strong DD(%) Y/Y, offsetting expected declines in Wireless and storage. Mgmt sees the Semi segment bottoming in F2Q (Apr.) with a 2H recovery led by new wireless and networking products. Its diversification strategy appears to be bracing AVGO from macro/cycle headwinds. With AVGO our top emerging capital-allocation story, we reiterate our Outperform and $315 target.”
