Oppenheimer Raises Price Target on Broadcom Ltd. (AVGO) to $200 Following 3Q
Oppenheimer reiterated an Outperform rating on Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ: AVGO), and raised the price target to $200.00 (from $190.00), following the company's 3Q earnings report. AVGO reported revenue of $3.80B, ahead of the consensus estimate of $3.76. EPS of $2.89 also bested consensus at $2.77.
Analyst Rick Schafer commented, "We are raising estimates and PT on AVGO following another beat/raise result. F3Q (July) revenue/EPS of $3.80B/$2.89 bested consensus $3.76B/$2.77. F4Q (Oct.) guidance of $4.10B also beat the Street's $4.05B forecast. Upside in Wireless driven by content gains in the iP7 easily offset supply constraints in Wired that are tempering the segment's growth NT. Below the line, AVGO is pulling all the right levers with GM/OM up 40bps/190bps respectively. We forecast AVGO to hit its 60%/40% target in F4Q with room for expansion in FY17 driving $15 of potential earnings power standalone. Mgmt continues to execute cost cuts and de-lever, with further upside possible via additional accretive M&A in 2017. We would remain LT buyers. Our target increases from $190 to $200."
