BroadcomAVGOTOP PICKFeb 11, 2020Stock 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.
They sell chips to cell phone-makers (Apply is a big customer) and infrastructure and data centres (cloud services rent these centres). Recently, they're selling infrastructure software after buying Symantec. That's a shift in strategy. They've grown cash flow in 5 years exponentially. Rumour is they'll sell their chip business to phone, which would make them a pure play on those data centres, which is a good strategy. Trades a good valuation, pays a 4% dividend and tons of free cash flow. (Analysts’ price target is $349.24)
