Darren Sissons Broadcom AVGO-Q BUY ON WEAKNESS May 16, 2025

The latest move on the chart is parabolic, it's moved too high. Draw a simple trendline, and you can see that it's way off. Also look at the 200-day MA, and if it's 15+% over, you know it's overbought. Highly likely to pull back. 

Though he would need his more sophisticated office software to be super-accurate, he could see it easily falling to $200-210.

Terrific fundamentals: 38% free cash flow margins and 64% operating margins. A key holding for him. They're in the midst of a secular growth opportunity in AI.

Leader. Increasingly into AI chips; recent announcement of 3-nanometer chip puts it on par with NVDA. Yield is 1%, with good 25% pace of growth over last 10 years and good scope to continue. Earnings poised to grow 22% over coming 3 years.

Shares tanked today on news of China's DeepSeek stealing the AI crown from ChatGPT--DeepSeek is faster and cheaper. All AI-related stocks, including energy plummeted as the Nasdaq slid over 3%. He sold his shares already, but if the stock stabilizes, this may be a buy, because AVGO has a lot of business away from AI-related data centres. However, he doesn't know--this could fall further. It's a confusing situation that happened so suddenly that you have to sit on your hands and wait. 

Hold on, and add to your position. $238, still some decent runway. He bought some on Monday and Tuesday.

There's still clear demand for network processors, and AVGO leads here. Capital has moved out of this area into software, but there is opportunity in AVGO.

She added more. It's essential for integrating data centres. It's a growth story equal to Nvidia.

She added more, despite the pain, down 20% from highs. Doesn't like the valuation, but likes the diversification of revenues, not just data centres but also software. She will buy on the way down.

(Stock split on 15 July 2024.)  Up $11 today, with a good runway to its price target of $273.25.
