Broadcom's AI Revenue Outlook Falls Short of High Bar, RBC Says

By

Broadcom's (AVGO) Q3 AI revenue outlook likely fell short of investor expectations, while its Q2 results were slightly ahead of consensus, RBC Capital Markets said in a Thursday note.

The report said the company's decision to reiterate and not to raise fiscal 2027 AI outlook was also a surprise, especially given the robust demand backdrop.

"We do not see any structural issues and surmise that power/data center constraints and conservatism are playing a role," the report said.

"Whatever the case, we expect the stock to remain range bound given limited near-term upside potential, premium valuation to NVDA, and lack of incremental catalysts," it added.

RBC raised its price target to $400 from $360, while reiterating its sector perform rating.

Price: $414.54, Change: $-64.70, Percent Change: -13.50%
