NEW YORK (AP) — December 13, 2024 — Broadcom (AVGO) saw its stock rise after reporting solid quarterly earnings and offering an optimistic outlook, buoyed by a potential partnership with Apple. The company’s better-than-expected Q4 results and guidance for fiscal Q1 sent shares higher in after-hours trading, but analysts are questioning whether the stock’s current price is justified.
William Kerwin, an equity analyst at Morningstar Research Services, noted that Broadcom’s quarterly performance aligned with expectations, with revenue guidance for Q1 slightly exceeding Wall Street forecasts, although it fell short of Kerwin’s own estimates. “The market reaction is positive right now after hours, which is likely due to the slightly higher-than-expected revenue guidance for Q1,” Kerwin said in an interview.
However, Kerwin expressed concerns over the company’s valuation, suggesting that while Broadcom has a strong market position and a solid business model, its shares appear overvalued at current levels. “We don’t love the price,” he stated. “We really love the company, and it has a wide economic moat, but shares have just looked rich to us over the past few months.”
Despite the positive earnings report and the news of its ongoing collaboration with Apple, the question remains: can Broadcom maintain its momentum without risking a potential correction in its stock price? As the company capitalizes on the AI chip market, investors will be watching closely to see if its valuation aligns with long-term growth prospects.
