From Nasdaq: 2024-06-17 12:31:35

Shares of Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) surged 4.9% at the start of the week, continuing to rise by 3.67% by midday. Wall Street’s growing bullishness was propelled by strong financial results and an upcoming stock split.

Analysts raised price targets, with Baird analyst now at $1,950 and Deutsche Bank at $1,900. Broadcom’s forecasted increase in networking and AI revenue contributed to the optimism.

The excitement surrounds Broadcom’s 10-for-1 stock split next month, following the trend of high-profile stock splits driving prices higher. This move aims to attract investor interest and drive up stock value.

While a stock split doesn’t change the company’s fundamentals, Broadcom’s strong business performance led to the split. Despite trading at 36 times forward earnings, the stock remains a key player in the AI revolution.
