Stephanie Link, Chief investment strategist, Hightower Broadcom Corp. BRCM-Q BUY ON WEAKNESS Sep 01, 2023

Down 6% today, but up 4% yesterday to hit a 42-week high. They are clearly shifting to AI, a positive. They have a solid base to move from. This is a lot cheaper than Nvidia. Likes to own this. Buy it on sale. They beat EPS.

Prefers this to Nvidia, because its valuation is a lot more reasonable.

Good business with steady compounding ability. Asset light business. High cash flow. Actively buying back shares. Paying steady dividend. Returns on invested capital in 30-50% range. Not founder led and founder owned, but very strong business. Would recommend holding as business is able to compound. Very good long term hold. 

It reports next week. He wants to see around 5% revenue and earnings growth with demand growing as margins hold steady. Watch for guidance about data centre demand. A great way ex-Nividia to play AI. 

Would not advise buying. Seeing stock price remain where it is. Is cheaper, but not getting growth. 

Recent market sell-off creating buying opportunity. Earnings have been strong, and getting better. A.I. cycle just beginning to start. Fundamental story appears to be getting better (earnings etc.) 

Fantastic company. Stock performance has been incredible the past 10 years. Mistake has only been to sell shares. Would recommend buying and/or holding.
