Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Broadcom Limited stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Broadcom has outperformed the S&P 500 index on a year-to-date basis. The company is benefiting from synergies it gained from the merger with Avago, which will continue to drive profitability.  We note that seasonal strength in broadband access and sustained cloud data center spending is expected to drive top-line growth in the rest of fiscal 2017. The company's expanding portfolio is a key catalyst in the long haul. We also believe that the company’s divestiture of some of the Brocade’s assets to ARRIS International and Extreme Networks will accelerate the acquisition process as well as lower leverage. However, customer concentration is a signficant headwind." (6/7/2017)
• 2. Argus analysts commented, "BUY-rated Broadcom Ltd. (NGS: AVGO) opened its October 2017 fiscal year by reporting above-consensus results for fiscal 1Q17, reflecting broad-based gains across multiple markets with particular strength in enterprise storage. Broadcom is preparing to add another major storage asset when it acquires Brocade with is SAN switching business, and momentum in this space is encouraging." (3/3/2017)
• 3. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We are modeling April quarter sales and non-GAAP EPS at $3.9 billion (down 4.1% q/q) and $3.20 respectively." (3/2/2017)
• 4. Wells Fargo & Company analysts commented, "Broadcom is, in our view, doing very well in terms of top-line momentum, though the GAAP gross margin is trending downward. Our FY17 GAAP EPS estimate increases to $3.09 from $1.59 and our FY18 GAAP EPS estimate increases to $6.99 from $2.30, though our adjusted EPS numbers (which back out some acquisition amortization) fall in FY17 and increase in FY18. We are increasing our valuation range to the $200-$230 range from the $150-$180 range previously. Our revised valuation range is based on roughly 21-24x our adjusted FY18 EPS estimate of $9.39." (3/2/2017)
• 5. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "AVGO beat & raised and reiterated its commitment to dividend growth. We model AVGO's FCF to nearly double in FY17 to $5.3 billion, and based on its capital return framework, we expect its dividend/shr to increase by as much as 50% over the next 12 months. We've shown that high FCF growth leads to outperformance and increased capital return translates to P/E expansion. We further estimate its BRCD acquisition could add up to $1.25 in EPS. Reiterate Buy rating." (3/2/2017)
