Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) price target of $42.00.

Analyst, Mark Lipacis, said, "BRCM remains a top pick after posting a $0.07 EPS beat driven by better revenues. We view BRCM as a core play on secular trends in mobile and comm/broadband infrastructure. Near term, we think it has solid visibility due to Wi-Fi product cycles in mobile devices, and set top boxes in emerging markets. We also believe the Street is underestimating BRCM gross."

Raises current quarter EPS estimate from $0.73 to $0.75, FY12 from $2.83 to $2.89, and FY13 from $2.90 to $2.93.
