Equity and fixed-income markets are closed on Monday for Labor Day. The second-quarter earnings season ends with Broadcom's report.
Broadcom has built its business through a series of acquisitions. The company has a huge opportunity with the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout.
Broadcom's growing prominence in the market for custom AI processors and networking switches could help it deliver better-than-expected results. The long-term AI opportunity that Broadcom is sitting on suggests that it is built for impressive growth.
Broadcom (AVGO) is set to report earnings for the third quarter of 2024 after the closing bell on Thursday with artificial intelligence (AI) likely to take center stage.
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) has long been a top smartphone chip supplier but it is rapidly transforming into a premier artificial intelligence chipmaker.
The company's stock was lifted after it posted upbeat numbers, which should bode well for its chief rival.
Broadcom competes with Nvidia in some products but has complimentary products as well. Broadcom has many different business segments.
Nvidia completed a 10-for-1 stock split in June 2024, and the company has a durable competitive advantage spanning hardware and software. Broadcom completed a 10-for-1 stock split in July 2024, and the company is growing quickly due to demand for AI chips and virtualization software.
By one estimate, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) can add more than $15 trillion to the global economy by the turn of the decade. Even though Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the standard in AI-accelerated data centers, prominent billionaires haven't been shy about reducing their stakes in this market leader.
Despite most of the technology sector's best efforts, it's still going to desperately need Taiwan Semiconductor for many, many more years. Broadcom isn't the company you think it is.
“It takes money to make money.” While that used to be true on Wall Street, it is no longer the case.
AVGO's strong AI prospects are driving up its stock, but it appears slightly overvalued, with a current PE ratio higher than justified by its expected FY26 growth rates. AI-related revenues could reach $10B in 2024, but competitive pressures from big tech and a potential slowdown in AI infrastructure demand pose risks. A more reasonable PE ratio of 45 suggests a fair price of $178 for FY25, indicating only a 10.3% upside and a speculative risk-to-reward ratio in the medium term.
