Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO) price target of $40.00.
Analyst, Romit Shah, said, "Avago will report FQ1 results after the market closes on Wednesday, February 22. Our estimates of $0.60 in FQ2 (Apr) and $2.76 in calendar 12 (Oct) are above consensus of $0.58 and $2.59, respectively. The Street’s estimate of 6% revenue growth this year under-estimates growth in wireless and a cyclical recovery in industrial in the back half, in our view. We expect Avago to report January sales at the high end (down 10-14%) and guide April sales up 5% QoQ. That’s about 3 points above normal seasonality. We believe Avago is undervalued at 11x CY13 versus Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI), Linear Tech (Nasdaq: LLTC), Maxim Integrated (Nasdaq: MXIM), and Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) at 14x. The stock also traded at a 35% premium to semis last year, but today trades at a 5% premium on EV/sales."
