Broadcom's Q4 Earnings Report: Analyst Predicts Strong AI, Weak Storage and Networking

Susquehanna's Christopher Rolland raised their price target on Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) by 8.9% from $1,010 to $1,100 on 2023/11/28. The analyst maintained their Strong Buy rating on the stock.

Rolland predicts that while AI will be strong, Storage, Broadband, and Traditional Networking will be weak for Broadcom as it prepares to report its Q4 and FY 2023 earnings on December 7, 2023. This insight provides investors with an understanding of the analyst's expectations for the company's performance in the near term.

Additionally, Rolland expressed "high hopes" for Broadcom's integration plan and sees great potential in its partnership with VMware. These factors could potentially contribute to the company's future growth and success.

Currently, 92.9% of top-rated analysts rate AVGO as a Strong Buy or Buy, indicating widespread optimism among industry experts. Only 7.1% of analysts see it as a Hold, with no analysts recommending or strongly recommending selling the stock. This positive sentiment from analysts further bolsters confidence in Broadcom's prospects.

The consensus forecast among analysts is that AVGO's upcoming year will deliver earnings per share (EPS) of $39.68. If the analysts' predictions hold true, this would result in an 18.5% increase in AVGO's yearly EPS on a year-over-year basis. This forecast provides investors with a benchmark against which they can evaluate the company's financial performance.

In terms of stock performance, AVGO has shown remarkable growth over the past year, with an 82% increase. This outpaces the S&P 500, which has risen by 14.9% during the same period. Such strong stock performance indicates that investors have recognized and rewarded Broadcom's achievements in the market.
