After Broadcom (AVGO) disclosed that it had agreed to supply RF components to Apple (AAPL) for three years, RBC Capital says that the contract has both positive and negative implications for Broadcom. Among the positive points are that it eliminates any possibility of iPhone share loss, and creates visibility on pricing, according to RBC. Among the negatives are that it limits Broadcom's ability to raise prices if volumes are low and reduces its ability to sell its products to other companies, the firm stated. RBC keeps a $180 price target and Top Pick rating on Broadcom.

Barclays analyst Tom O'Malley raised the firm's price target on Broadcom (AVGO) to $1,500 from $1,405 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after hosting management for meetings. Broadcom is one of the unique companies that has a comprehensive view of the semis industry while also capable of providing an "intimate look" at the artificial intelligence market via custom silicon, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says management highlighted the company's inroads with the consumer-facing AI world, providing a differing viewpoint versus Nvidia's (NVDA) vision of the world - pointing to a two-part market of consumer and enterprise that could grow to a 50/50 split over time. Barclays came away from the meetings "with a valuable second opinion on the future of AI and a greater appreciation for the company's many ways to win."
