Top Analysts Stay Bullish on Broadcom Stock (AVGO) Despite Post-Q2 Earnings Decline
Semiconductor company Broadcom (AVGO) reported a modest earnings beat for the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, driven by artificial intelligence (AI)-led demand for its offerings. However, AVGO stock was down more than 4% in Friday's pre-market trading (as of writing), as investors seemed to have lofty expectations from the maker of application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs. Confident Investing Starts Here: Analysts React to Broadcom's Q2 FY25 Earnings Following the Q2 print, Baird analyst Tristan Gerra highlighted Broadcom's continued strong execution and solid fundamentals. While the 4-star analyst acknowledges that Broadcom is well-positioned to remain the leader in custom AI ASIC solutions, he argues that GPUs (graphics processing units) will continue to play a primary role, including in AI inferencing. He added that Broadcom's AI XPU revenue in 2026 could be mainly driven by new customers, while the Tomahawk 6 offering is expected to drive robust AI networking top-line growth in the first half of FY26. Gerra reaffirmed a Buy rating on AVGO stock but maintained the price target at $210, noting that the stock's valuation is rich, mainly compared to Nvidia (NVDA). He believes that Broadcom stock is trading at an elevated valuation, given his expectation of a 'potential 1H26 slowdown in XPU QoQ revenue comps before new customer ramps take place.' Meanwhile, Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh reiterated a Buy rating on Broadcom stock and increased the price target to $310 from $300, noting the company's industry-leading FY25 gross margin and operating margin estimates at about 79% and 65%, respectively, and expectation of free cash flow (FCF)/year growing to about $31 billion. The 5-star analyst pointed out the accelerating AI inference demand and projects Broadcom's AI revenue to grow to about $19 billion in FY25 and nearly $32 billion in FY26. Likewise, Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore boosted the price target for Broadcom stock to $270 from $205 and reiterated a Buy rating. The 5-star analyst noted that the company's results and guidance were essentially in line with expectations, with the AI business delivering upside, the software business remaining steady, and the non-AI semiconductor business witnessing a slower recovery. Seymore contends that while the dearth of a cyclical recovery in the non-AI business could continue to be a headwind into Q4 FY25, he expects investors to 'more eagerly focus' on the rise in Broadcom's AI business. Is AVGO Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Broadcom stock based on 27 Buys and two Holds. The average AVGO stock price target of $260.39 indicates that the stock is fully valued at current levels. These ratings and price targets could see further revisions, as more analysts are expected to react to Broadcom's results and outlook.

Raymond J. de Souza: This Trump-Musk cage match could be seen coming
WASHINGTON, D.C. — More or less on schedule, U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are headed for a steel cage match. The steel will be more expensive now due to tariffs, but spectacles don't come cheap. Article content This past week's Trump-Musk breakup could be dismissed as simply the latest episode of a professional-wrestling-reality-show presidency. The script is as old as baby-oiled wrestlers in the ring and as current as the Axe-body-sprayed young men in the audience. Article content Article content Article content Two great titans — The World's Richest Man™ and The World's Most Powerful Man™ — joined forces to form a fearsome tag-team. Call the alliance The World's Most Manly Men™, with rotating mouthpiece managers in their corner, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson and the like. Article content Article content The World's Most Manly Men™ steamroller over weak opponents at first to establish their dominance. Trump-Musk dismantle overseas aid to the poor; Trump-Musk take down funding for Aids prevention and treatment in Africa. Next up, The World's Most Manly Men™ grapple with stronger opponents, preferably effete and somehow suspect; Trump-Musk battle public broadcasting, then Columbia, then Harvard. Article content Eventually though, the new tag-team champions run into formidable opponents — the judiciary, the bond market, the American voter's preference for big government without having to pay for it. Victory is no longer easy nor assured. Will The World's Most Manly Men™ prevail? Article content The final step comes as surely as celebrities gather like moths around the pro-wrestling flame. The World's Most Manly Men™ must turn on each other. The spittle-flecked air is filled with cries of ingratitude, betrayal and treachery. The ambush then comes. The allies turn on each other. A low blow is landed — Trump is a reckless spendthrift! A steel chair is used to devastating effect — Musk's government subsidies will be cut off! Article content Article content The erstwhile allies are headed for a showdown. Tickets are sold to the clash of the titans; The World's Most Manly Men™ will fight each other in a cage match. Article content Article content That may well suffice as an explanation for the latest melodrama here in Washington, the latest staging of circuses in the declining imperial capital. But it overlooks a deeper division at the heart of the Trump project, a division advertised as brazenly as the golden Trump brand on a failed casino or a skip-the-line visa. It was right there in the name: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Article content Efficiency is what Elon Musk desires, but it runs counter to the heart of the Trump project. Efficiency is what has driven globalization, automation, information technology and open trade, where more efficient production enables cheaper goods and services. Efficiency is the altar at which Musk and the tech-bros worship. Efficiency is the AI future where goods are cheap and services may well be cheaper still; The World's Most Richest Man™ takes his billions and employment shrinks dramatically.
