Morgan Stanley analyst Craig Hettenbach said he views Broadcom's $12B buyback authorization as much more than just a financial move, seeing it as an endorsement of the company's undervalued core business as well. He estimates that every $10B in buybacks can add about 5% to Broadcom's annual EPS, but also thinks the stock's multiple should begin to expand by at least 1-2 points, which would drive Broadcom shares higher by 8%-15% before even considering any EPS accretion or ongoing EPS growth. Hettenbach reiterates an Overweight rating and $305 price target on Broadcom shares.
