Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) price target of $42.00.

Nomura analyst, Romit Shah, said, "This has been a tough year for Broadcom, but we see better days ahead. Versus a year ago, the fundamental drivers are still largely intact. We are bullish on wireless connectivity (1/3rd of sales) for 2012. Broadcom will likely increase market share in combo chips and we expect a positive message on the baseband business this week. However, risk aversion seems excessively high as evidenced by the low valuation. Broadcom one year ago traded at $45 or 15x forward earnings of roughly $3.00. Today, Broadcom trades near $30 or 11x forward earnings of $2.67. Year-to-date, the stock is down 30%."
