$Broadcom(AVGO)$ Broadcom is up 25% in the last month.📈

Despite the recent market sell-off, I believe

AVGO is a strong buy at ~$200/share.

Here is why:

1) AI Growth and Leadership:

-Broadcom AI revenue surged from $3.8B (FY23) to $12.2B (FY24), driven by custom AI accelerators and networking

-Addressable market for AI semiconductors expects to hit $90B in FY27

2) Ecosystem Investment:

-Hyperscale customers have increased their capex to $202B in 2024 (from $145B in 2023), aligning with Broadcom's strategic investments

3) VMware Acquisition:

-VMware added $21.5 billion to revenue in FY24

-Infrastructure software revenue has grown 181% yoy, showcasing robust integration.

However, there are hidden risks AVGO must address moving forward:

-AI revenue is heavily reliant on a few hyperscaler customers

-Non-AI semiconductor revenue down 23% yoy(Q4)

-Broadband revenue fell 51% yoy in Q4, with recovery expected only in 2025​

With the stronger-than-expected job report, some concerns over the discount rate are raised, which will adversely affect the market valuation in the short-term.

Therefore, I believe a fair valuation for AVGO is around $200/share.
