Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss reiterated a Buy rating on Broadcom (AVGO) but lowered his price target to $315 after the company reported revenues below the Street and his estimate due to the impact of the Huawei ban as well as Apple (AAPL) weakness. Stoss tells investors in a research note that he still expects Broadcom to benefit from content growth at Apple this year due to the socket win back from Qorvo (QRVO) and new content associated with Wi-Fi 6 and says he continues to like Broadcom's position at Apple longer term and notes its recently signed two-year supply agreement positions the company well for 5G inclusion in iPhones likely coming next year.

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."
