Broadcom - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Broadcom Stock? AVGO Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Monday, February 17, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Broadcom pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Broadcom
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Broadcom:

Broadcom has received multiple upgrades from analysts, with price targets raised significantly, indicating strong market confidence. For instance, recent reports have set price targets as high as $255.00, suggesting potential for price appreciation.
The current stock price is $233.04, which is near its 12-month high of $251.88, reflecting strong performance and investor interest in the stock.
Broadcom recently increased its quarterly dividend from $0.53 to $0.59, demonstrating a commitment to returning value to shareholders. This increase represents a positive trend in the company's financial health.
The company reported a substantial revenue increase of 51.2% year-over-year, showcasing strong growth potential and operational efficiency, which can attract long-term investors.
With a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" from analysts, and 24 out of 27 analysts recommending a buy, Broadcom is viewed favorably in the market, suggesting a strong outlook for future performance.

Broadcom
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Broadcom for these reasons:

Despite strong revenue growth, Broadcom has a high P/E ratio of 190.08, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
The company has a high dividend payout ratio of 192.50%, which suggests that it is returning more cash to shareholders than it is earning. This could raise concerns about sustainability in the long term.
Insider selling has been notable, with significant shares sold by executives, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance from those who are most familiar with the company.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a beta of 1.02, indicating that it moves in line with the market. This could pose risks for investors looking for stability.
Broadcom's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.98, which is relatively high, suggesting that the company is using a significant amount of debt to finance its operations. This could be a concern if market conditions change.
