Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) price target of $40.00.

Needham analyst says, "Broadcom held its annual investor day in New York yesterday with a focus on extending its competitive advantage. Management is not wavering from its proven growth strategy. Broadcom’s goal remains to grow faster than the semiconductor market and its peers by 1) broadening and deepening its intellectual property portfolio, 2) developing more highly integrated SoCs and 3) offering complete system solutions. Through successful execution of this strategy, we expect Broadcom to continue to gain share from smaller competitors with more limited IP and product portfolios. We note Broadcom’s strategy has enabled the company to outgrow the broader semiconductor market in 15 of the past 16 years."

Needham raises FY11 EPS estimate from $2.81 to $2.87 and FY12 from $2.50 to $2.55.
