Broadcom is the right pick 'if you're a nervous AI investor'
Broadcom (AVGO) beat second quarter earnings estimates but disappointed on outlook despite a 46% revenue increase from last year. Kimberly Forrest, founder and chief investment officer of Bokeh Capital Partners, explains why Broadcom's hardware-software mix makes it a confusing artificial intelligence (AI) play. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. This has been a big story of the week, Broadcom beating second quarter earnings estimates, but its outlook failing to impress investors. Still, the chipmaker's AI revenue increased 46% from a year prior. Joining us now, we've got Kimberly Forest, Boca Capital Partners founder and chief investment officer. You said the AI trade is back. I mean, did it leave? How are you looking at Broadcom right now? Well, I think that they are a very confusing company if you are an AI-oriented investor because the chip sector in that company or that chip segment, I should say, is relatively small and, but important. We know that, but it's got a lot of weird hardware rolling around the, um, the halls in Broadcom, like everything from mainframe to, uh, VMware, which is this, uh, software that can make virtual machines. So, it's it's an oddball stock and it's kind of reflected in the price today because it isn't the AI pure play that people want it to be. So, given that, Kimberly, can you talk a little bit about what would make a company like Broadcom a pure enough AI play for an investor like you to be a little bit more bullish on it? Sure. Well, they could do something strange like kind of roll out a piece of it, maybe the, uh, chipset, the chip sector into, um, a a trading vehicle where you're you're just spinning that off, but you remain the majority owner of the company. And that could show in a direct way the growth that the company can achieve through AI. God knows they talk a lot about it, but, um, until investors are able to see that pure growth, that is going to limit this company at some point. You know, is there a better kind of longer-term play here that that seems more stable than Broadcom within this AI trade right now? I don't know. I mean, AI there the good thing about Broadcom software exposure is that it does give it stability. Um, yes, the mainframe market isn't growing. VMware's market isn't growing and the other software they have, not really growing at the same rate of AI, but it gives you a lovely annuity-like revenue to be able to invest in things like the chips that it is bringing to market to AI. So, that, if you're a nervous AI investor, maybe Broadcom's for you. Um, you know, the pure play is at this point, Nvidia. Um, they have the chips people want, um, that are willing to pay up for their premium pricing and it looks like there really is no substitute at this point. So, if you want a direct line to, um, all manner of AI, the way to play it is Nvidia right now. And when you think about the growth prospects for Nvidia amid some of the geopolitical tensions, obviously Nvidia getting caught in the crosshairs on chip export curbs between the US and China, how concerned are you about the Chinese market getting cut off from Nvidia as a potential downward catalyst? I'm not particularly concerned, but the company sure is, you know, um, the last time, uh, Jensen Wong was on TV, he was making a direct appeal to the government to allow for export. Um, you know, he always points out 50% of the AI is being developed in China, and wouldn't it be nice to have a US-based, um, hardware platform that it's being developed on. And right now the answer is no for many reasons, and I think probably the biggest reason is are they going to just have consumer oriented AI or does it have military applications, and that's a tough one to get around. So, I think Nvidia making a, uh, a less capable chip for the Chinese environment is probably the best the company and the government can do at this point, and we'll see if, um, that's permitted in the future.

Amid AI-Fueled Growth, AVGO Stock's Valuation Raises Concern
CANADA - 2025/01/06: In this photo illustration, the Broadcom company logo is seen displayed on a ... More smartphone screen. (Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) announced robust results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending in October), exceeding consensus estimates for both revenue and earnings. The company reported $15.0 billion in revenue, a 20% year-over-year increase, and adjusted earnings of $1.58 per share, up 44% year-over-year. These figures slightly surpassed analyst expectations of $14.97 billion and $1.57, respectively. This growth was primarily fueled by strong demand for Broadcom's AI semiconductor solutions and contributions from VMware. AI revenue alone surged by 46% year-over-year to over $4.4 billion in Q2, driven by robust demand for AI networking. Alongside impressive sales growth, the company's adjusted EBITDA margin significantly expanded by 700 basis points year-over-year, reaching 66.7% in Q2. Broadcom's outlook for Q3 also appears promising, with anticipated sales of $15.8 billion, slightly ahead of the $15.7 billion consensus. The company expects growth in AI semiconductor revenue to accelerate to $5.1 billion in Q3, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 66%. Despite these solid results, AVGO stock saw a 4% decline in after-market trading on Thursday, June 5. This dip can partly be attributed to the stock's already high valuation. The question for investors is whether to buy AVGO stock at its current price of around $250. This is a tricky decision. While the stock appears attractive, its high valuation makes it particularly susceptible to adverse events, leading to potential volatility. Our analysis, which compares AVGO's current valuation to its recent operating performance and financial health, suggests minimal underlying concerns. Broadcom exhibits a very strong operating performance and financial condition across key parameters, including growth, profitability, financial stability, and downturn resilience. However, if you seek upside with less volatility than a single stock, consider the High-Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P 500 and achieved returns greater than 91% since inception. Separately, see – Is Amazon Stock Still A Buy After Its Recent 25% Rally? Going by what you pay per dollar of sales or profit, AVGO stock looks very expensive compared to the broader market. Broadcom's Revenues have grown considerably over recent years. Broadcom's profit margins are much higher than most companies in the Trefis coverage universe. Broadcom's balance sheet looks strong. AVGO stock has fared worse than the benchmark S&P 500 index during some of the recent downturns. While investors have their fingers crossed for a soft landing by the U.S. economy, how bad can things get if there is another recession? Our dashboard How Low Can Stocks Go During A Market Crash captures how key stocks fared during and after the last six market crashes. In summary, Broadcom's performance across the parameters detailed above is as follows: - Growth: Extremely Strong - Profitability: Very Strong - Financial Stability: Strong - Downturn Resilience: Neutral - Overall: Strong Even though the stock has performed strongly in the parameters discussed, its extremely high valuation supports our conclusion that AVGO is a tricky stock to buy. We think investors would likely be better off waiting for a further dip before picking AVGO stock. Notably, the average analyst price estimate of $254 also suggests that the stock does not have significant room for growth. Of course, we could be wrong, and investors may continue to assign even higher valuation multiples to AVGO stock given its position in the AI boom. Sometimes, valuations take a back seat when investors get eager about the outlook. In fact, evaluating valuation contextually is just one of many approaches we take when constructing the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio. This portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming the S&P 500 over the last four years. This is because, as a group, HQ Portfolio stocks have provided better returns with less risk compared to the benchmark index, offering a less volatile investment experience, as evident in the HQ Portfolio's performance metrics.

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) reported a record total revenue of $15 billion for fiscal Q2 2025, marking a 20% year-on-year increase. AI semiconductor revenue reached over $4.4 billion, up 46% year-on-year, continuing a trajectory of nine consecutive quarters of strong growth. Infrastructure software revenue grew by 25% year-on-year to $6.6 billion, driven by the successful integration of VMware and strong VCF sales. The company forecasts AI semiconductor revenue to grow by 60% year-on-year in Q3, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of growth. Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) achieved a gross margin of 79.4% in Q2, better than originally guided, due to favorable product mix. Non-AI semiconductor revenue was down 5% year-on-year, with sectors like industrial and wireless experiencing declines. Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue was impacted by increased interest expenses from debt related to the VMware acquisition. The company anticipates a sequential decline in consolidated gross margin by approximately 130 basis points in Q3 due to a higher mix of XPUs. Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) faces uncertainty regarding potential impacts from changing export control regulations. The transition of VMware customers to a subscription model is ongoing and expected to take another 1.5 years to complete. Q: Can you provide more color on the inference commentary and whether it's more of the XPU side or connectivity side that's driving growth? A: We are seeing increased deployment of XPUs next year, more than we originally thought, along with more networking. It's a combination of both, and we are seeing much more inference now. - Hock Tan, President and CEO Q: Given the positive growth in your AI business, do you see Broadcom sustaining the year-over-year growth rate into fiscal 2026? A: Yes, the growth trajectory we are seeing in fiscal 2025 is expected to sustain into fiscal 2026. We have improved visibility and updates from our hyperscale partners on their AI cluster deployments. - Hock Tan, President and CEO Q: Can you discuss the AI networking performance and the role of Tomahawk in future growth? A: AI networking goes hand-in-hand with AI accelerator cluster deployments. The increased density in scale-up scenarios has surprised us, maintaining AI networking at about 40% of AI revenue. There is strong interest in the new Tomahawk switches, which are expected to drive future growth. - Hock Tan, President and CEO Q: How do you view the competitive landscape with new protocols like NVLink, and what is Broadcom's position on Ethernet for AI networking? A: Ethernet remains the open standard and preferred choice for networking. We believe Ethernet will continue to prevail as it has in traditional networking, and there is no need to create new standards for tasks that can be accomplished with Ethernet. - Hock Tan, President and CEO Q: Can you comment on the progress of converting VMware customers to the subscription model? A: Most VMware contracts are typically three years, and we are more than halfway through the renewals. We expect the conversion process to continue for at least another year to 1.5 years. - Hock Tan, President and CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
