Oppenheimer reiterated an Outperform rating on top semiconductor pick, Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM).

Commenting on Broadcom's prospects, analyst Rick Schafer said, "We view Broadcom as a core holding and one of the best-positioned large-cap semi names to drive top-line growth. Broadcom's diversified business should benefit from any pickup in enterprise spending."

Schafer thinks a baseband ramp will drive top-line in 2013 could be the next leg of growth on top of wireless combo chip.

"Combo chips (WLAN, BT, GPS and/or FM) continue to surpass expectations and appear poised to continue momentum in 2013, despite the QUALCOMM (Nasdaq: QCOM) share loss bear-case scenario," he said.

Oppenheimer has a price target of $45.00 on Broadcom.
