This summary was created by AI, based on 42 opinions in the last 12 months.

Broadcom (AVGO) has shown impressive quarterly results, reporting earnings of $2.05 per share, surpassing estimates, and achieving record revenue driven by the demand for AI semiconductors. Despite these solid numbers and optimistic future projections, the stock experienced a notable drop of $70, attributed primarily to cautious guidance and profit-taking behavior from investors who had seen substantial gains over the past year. Analysts recognize that while Broadcom is a leader in semiconductor chips, trading at a high PE ratio, the performance is tempered by anticipated deceleration in revenue growth post-2026. The overall sentiment leans towards cautious optimism, with many experts recommending a watchful approach due to market volatility and the prevailing competition, particularly from companies like Nvidia. While the growth potential remains significant, a careful evaluation of entry points is advised as market dynamics continue to evolve.

COMMENT
He likes the semis space in general, but not currently. AVGO has a done a great job over the years in absorbing companies, but they've run out of semi companies to buy and it makes less sense for them to pick up software companies now. Mixed feelings.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He's been looking at this. They just did an 8% convertible preferred offering that's created stock volatility. $320-325 is his price target. But you could get it cheaper. However, look at Micron, which has been slammed 15% lately. Micron reduced guidance a little, but managers can handle cyclicality, and they have a good mix of products. $58 is his target.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 24/18, Up 42%) They are acquiring the chip industry in the US. He bought it last year in the fall following a software company acquisition. It remains a core holding for the conservative chip investor.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 04/18, Up 25%) They've done a fine job acquiring companies and growing. There are rumours they will buy Symantec. Great free cash flow with growing dividends. However, headline risks lie with China through Huawei, which represents 4-5% of Broadcom's revenues. Watch the headlines.
DON'T BUY

He likes their dividend growth, but they grow by acquisition, therefore carry debt. When credit spreads blow out, it'll become tougher for them to do deals--and there are fewer deals for them to do now. Other semis that pay a dividend, though lower, are growing, and are in 5G are Xilinx and NVIDIA.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 30/18, Up 26%) It is an acquisition driven company. He thinks it will continue to do well as it is relatively cheap with good earnings potential.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 06/18, Up 14%) They had challenges last year. There was one acquisition that failed and one that the market did not like. They bought CA and the stock was punished once again. Still they recovered from the lows. It makes sense on a long term basis. It is a top of class name.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 10/18, Up 1%) You need to be careful in the semiconductor space. He is still buy it and believes in it longer term.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 13/17, Down 2%) He still likes the name. It is a standout networking, equipment company. Huge rate of return on capital. It is undervalued. He thinks this is a gem.
DON'T BUY
Very cyclical. Alpha vehicle in that terms. He would be very careful at the moment with the entire semiconductor space. (Analysts’ price target is $287.44)
BUY
He sees this as a cyclical stock. His model price is $357.75. He would be a buyer here. The recent pull back is a good buying opportunity.
COMMENT

Down 11% YTD. Don't panic though, despite their challenges. He still likes it. Look at your overall portfolio. If Broadcomm occupies say 4%, then you're okay, but not at 20%. Trades at a reasonable 11x P/E. Semis are cyclical, high-growth, but high-volatility. Now, we're in the down side of the cycle.

BUY

Unlike the Facebooks and Googles of the world they have to make something to sell. And they have to make new and better on a continue basis. They are one of the most diverse players in the space. This industry is starting to mature and consolidate. The chip business is very volatile. (Analysts’ price target is $290)

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick May 4, 2018, Up 9%) For the past six months, it's been exciting to invest in this. Nice free cash flow growth, with dividends and increased share buybacks. In July, the shares dropped when they announced the acquisition of old-school tech company, CA Technologies. But they didn't explain why they bought this company until early-September. When the street heard this reason, shares rebounded. He still likes it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 7/17, Down 11%) A few of the big acquisitions did not happen that he had expected. He still owns it and still buys it. You get 3.25% yield. It is cheap.
