Jim Cramer's Broadcom praise on Mad Money, paired with DA Davidson's upgrade to Buy and a $400 target, fuels near-term AVGO enthusiasm. The stock climbed about 2.8% to $351.81, signaling momentum from the analyst upgrade. If this interest sustains, AVGO could test higher levels in the coming weeks.
DA Davidson upgraded Broadcom (AVGO) to Buy and raised the target to $400. AVGO closed at $329.17 on Monday, implying about 21% potential upside. The move could spur a near-term price re-rating on stronger demand and margin visibility, with follow-on analyst actions needed for confirmation.
AVGO has fallen about 35% from its peak amid AI enthusiasm cooling, yet the article argues its custom AI silicon and networking moat remains durable. Q2 FY2026 AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8B, up 143% YoY, with next-quarter AI revenue projected near $16B. While MU looks cheap, memory cyclicality and China competition add risk; AVGO could lead as AI infrastructure demand persists.
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan labeled AI investors as casino gamblers, triggering a broad semiconductor selloff that weighs on AVGO and peers. CXMT’s claimed DRAM architecture progress heightens memory-sector competition, adding margin pressure for major memory players. The move follows concerns over AI spending and OpenAI’s revenue discussion, suggesting a cautious near-term mood for AI infrastructure demand and chip equities.
News of OpenAI's large AI financing plans raises questions about circular funding and OpenAI's spending trajectory, potentially dampening demand for Broadcom's AI chips in the near term. The negative sentiment suggests AVGO could underperform before AI spend visibility clears. If AI spending stabilizes or accelerates, Broadcom could regain upside as AI workloads expand.
Marvell’s Investor Day delivered a long-range revenue reset, guiding 2031 revenue of 70–90B and a TAM of 400B by 2030, with 2028 revenue targeted near 20B. The upbeat outlook sparked immediate price moves and heightened expectations for AI hardware demand, with Cramer signaling potential readthrough to Broadcom as hyperscalers invest in custom silicon.
