Shares of Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) have seen double-digit gains of over 10% on the NASDAQGS over the past few months. Good news for shareholders, the company has also seen a significant price increase over the past year. With many analysts covering this large stock, we would expect any price-sensitive announcements are already priced into the share price. But is the stock still trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Broadcom’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Broadcom still cheap?
According to our valuation model, Broadcom appears to be trading at a fair value, which is about 11% below the company’s intrinsic value. This means that if you buy Broadcom today, you’d pay a fair price. And if you think the stock is actually worth $167.13, there isn’t much to gain from mispricing. So, is there an opportunity to buy lower in the future? Broadcom’s share price has been fairly volatile (i.e., its share price movements have been magnified relative to the overall market), so it’s possible that the share price could fall further, creating an opportunity to buy later. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What does the future hold for Broadcom?
Revenue and Revenue Growth
Future outlook is an important aspect when considering buying a stock, especially for investors looking for growth in their portfolio. Buying a great company with a solid outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment. So, let’s also take a look at the company’s future prospects. Broadcom’s revenue over the next few years is expected to double, indicating a very bright future. This should strengthen cash flows and drive the stock price higher.
What this means for you
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in AVGO’s positive outlook and the stock is trading around its fair value. However, there are other important factors we haven’t considered today, such as management’s track record. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at this stock? Would you have enough conviction to buy if the price fluctuates below its true value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AVGO, now may not be the most favorable time to buy, given that it’s trading around fair value. However, the company’s positive outlook is encouraging, meaning it’s worth further investigating other factors, such as balance sheet strength, to take advantage of the next price drop.
