Why Broadcom (AVGO) Is Back In The Spotlight

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Broadcom (AVGO) is back in focus after Marvell Technology announced an expanded custom AI chip agreement with Google, which coincided with a roughly 5% decline in Broadcom's share price.

See our latest analysis for Broadcom.

The Marvell news hit Broadcom at a time when momentum in the stock was already fading, with a 7 day share price return of 6.11% and a 90 day share price return of 12.69% in decline, even as the 1 year total shareholder return of 26.14% and a very large 5 year total shareholder return reflect how strong the longer term story has been.

The latest drop in Broadcom appears to be tied more to shifting expectations than to any sudden break in its AI business. The key question is whether the current share price still reflects that underlying strength.

Most Popular Narrative: 43.4% Undervalued

At a last close of $368.45, Broadcom's most followed narrative points to a fair value of $651.05, which frames the recent pullback in a very different light.

The opportunity is not that Broadcom becomes the next Nvidia. The opportunity is that Broadcom continues doing what it has done for years, owning critical infrastructure, generating cash, and allocating capital intelligently.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what has to happen for Broadcom to reach that valuation? The narrative leans heavily on strong revenue expansion, durable margins, and a rich future earnings multiple. The full story connects these moving parts in a way the current share price does not fully reflect.

Result: Fair Value of $651.05 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Broadcom’s story could change quickly if hyperscaler AI spending slows sharply or if custom silicon projects and software integration fail to meet current expectations.
