Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) price target of $45.00.
Analyst, Romit Shah, said, "Q4 revenue of $1.82bn and EPS of $0.67 were above our estimate and consensus of $1.81bn and $0.64. Q1 guidance of $1.7-1.8bn (-4%) is slightly better than seasonal and within the range of our estimate and consensus. EPS of $0.55 is a couple pennies better than consensus, but below our $0.57. The March quarter outlook is slightly better than consensus, but the real focus should be on what’s coming over the next 12 months. We see a couple high volume product ramps (iPhone 5 (Nasdaq: AAPL), Nokia 3G (NYSE: NOK)), a new standard in WiFi (802.11ac) boosting connectivity share and margins, and a cyclical recovery in Networking and Infrastructure. And investors should not forget $0.10-$0.20 of EPS accretion from the NetLogic acquisition. We believe these drivers could lead to $2.50- 3.00 in GAAP earnings in 2013. Broadcom’s valuation is still compelling in our view, trading at 14x CY13E GAAP EPS and 1.9x EV/Sales versus a 2.6x for our coverage universe."
