Broadcom Stock Surges on Bernstein’s AI Optimism
Broadcom shares rallied 4.7% Monday after Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon upgraded the semiconductor giant to 'outperform,' citing compelling valuation and unstoppable AI demand. The stock had retreated 22% from its December peak amid broader tech sector weakness.
Rasgon's bullish case hinges on Broadcom's explosive fundamentals - 173% profit growth last quarter alongside 16% revenue gains. His $20+ EPS target for 2027 implies nearly 300% upside from current levels, framing today's $321 share price as a rare entry point.
The endorsement carries extra weight as Bernstein holds AVGO in its own portfolio. Cantor Fitzgerald ($525 target) and Rosenblatt ($500) echo the optimism, suggesting 55-60% upside from current levels.
