• TD Cowen and Citi both keep positive ratings on Broadcom while trimming targets, highlighting AI infrastructure investment, compute and networking exposure, and the view that concerns around gross margin and TPU competition are largely reflected in the share price.

• RBC Capital, despite a lower target, expects Broadcom’s upcoming Q1 report to come in ahead of expectations, supported by TPU and networking demand. This points to ongoing execution in key AI related segments.

• Mizuho raised its target to US$480 earlier in the year and included Broadcom among its preferred names in semiconductors, grouping it with AI accelerators and related areas that it sees as attractive.

• DA Davidson notes that investors have broadened their AI focus beyond Nvidia to include Broadcom, memory and optical names. This frames Broadcom as part of a wider group of AI beneficiaries on the Street’s radar.

• HSBC, TD Cowen, Citi and RBC have all cut price targets, pointing to a reset in valuations for AI related names and questions around premium multiples. This can cap how much investors are prepared to pay even if fundamentals are viewed constructively.

• RBC highlights uncertainty around the durability of Anthropic related demand beyond the first half of FY27 and potential competitive pressure tied to Anthropic’s agreements with Nvidia and Microsoft, which introduces execution and customer concentration risk into the growth story.
