BroadcomAVGOTOP PICKJan 27, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jul 02, 2026. Market Open.
Tried to corner the market by introducing some products that were not as open source, and the market pushed back. That's why it hasn't been able to accelerate its networking business as much as expected. Earnings disappointed. They'll turn it around, more to come on networking. Interesting on this pullback.
She owns players with more upside.
AVGO is like the smaller cousin of NVDA. Built GOOG's AI program, increasingly making waves with Anthropic (owns Claude). Interesting, but not a shoot-the-lights-out opportunity. He'd buy.
MRVL is trying to take a share of the chips that go into GOOG, and is already involved with AMZN cloud. Be careful. It's not a given that it's a capable designer of cutting-edge chips. Coin flip. We've been fooled before.
NVDA is actually more interesting than both.
This is a merger of AVGO and Broadcom, both leaders in the chip space. AVGO was in defence and automotive and Broadcom was mobile. It was the perfect marriage. By coming together, it was the cost synergies, but more so it allowed them to innovate much more quickly by having them under the same umbrella. This is essentially the largest Wi-Fi chip provider. They have established relationships with top of class companies, and it’s a space that continues to grow. Dividend yield of 1.99%. (Analysts’ price target is $215.86.)
