On July 22, Broadcom rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $398.20/share, with turnover of $3.412 billion. The stock benefited from multiple analyst upgrades and bullish AI semiconductor demand forecasts that lifted the broader chip sector.
On the news front, Arete raised its target price on Broadcom from $488 to $530 while maintaining a buy rating. Earlier, BNP Paribas also lifted its target from $640 to $675, maintaining an outperform rating. The current consensus analyst target price stands at $527.73, implying over 30% upside from the current price. Morgan Stanley has also reiterated its overweight rating with a $502 target, defining Broadcom as the core AI winner second only to NVIDIA and dismissing concerns that MediaTek would significantly erode Broadcom's Google TPU business share.
Additionally, SK Hynix Chairman stated that AI semiconductor demand is expected to grow 60% to 100% year-over-year next year, with the supply-demand gap set to widen further as major manufacturers have virtually no substantial capacity expansion plans. Within the sector, NVIDIA rose 3.24% and AMD gained 2.32%.
