What Experts Are Saying About Broadcom Stock
JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur reiterated an Overweight rating on Broadcom with a price target of $500 ahead of earnings.
The analyst said the company maintains its lead in AI networking silicon and is likely one to two steps ahead of competitors.
"We believe Broadcom's Ethernet networking silicon powers the largest AI clusters for Google, Amazon, Meta, Alibaba, Oracle, ByteDance, and Tencent — and now Anthropic TPU clusters and OpenAI ASIC clusters," Sur said.
The analyst said Broadcom's AI networking silicon revenue could more than double in fiscal 2027.
Freedom Capital Markets Chief Market Strategist Jay Woods said Broadcom is becoming one of the largest stocks in the world and likewise, a large weighting in some of the key market indexes.
"It's a member of the trillion-dollar club and while it isn't an official ‘magnificent' stock, it may as well be," Woods said in a weekly newsletter.
Woods said Broadcom stock has traded higher after five of its past eight reports with an average move of +/- 5.3% over that time.
With shares near all-time highs, Woods said there's a lot to like on the stock's technicals, with shares breaking two key levels — $415 and $440 — on the one-year chart.
Woods said the question is if the current rally is a breakout or a fakeout.
"The stock, like Nvidia, remains one of the best buy-and-hold stories out there."
Woods said the stock could have "a clear path" to $500. The question is whether there will be a chance to buy the dip for investors or if the stock has to be chased on that path.

The first-quarter financial results saw strong sales guidance announced for the second quarter and commentary on AI demand surging.
Analysts and investors have high hopes for the latest quarterly results and Broadcom will likely have to blow numbers out of the water to get shares to rally further.
