Yesterday Broadcom Corp (NASDAQ: BRCM) reported Q4 EPS of $0.76, $0.03 better than the analyst estimate of $0.73. Broadcom also reported light guidance.

"There don't seem to be any specific smoking guns – management was clear that anticipated mobile weakness was broad-based, while macro headwinds still dominate infrastructure and broadband," said analyst Daniel Berenbaum.

Berenbaum expects Broadcom to outgrow the industry and he says it will benefit more than others from a snapback. With the stock trading at a discount to names like Analog Devices (Nasdaq: ADI) / Linear Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: LLTC), the analyst says the risk/reward is skewed to the upside.

MKM Partners has a Buy rating on Broadcom with a price target of $43.00.
