Broadcom: The Next Trillion-Dollar Stock?
Chip maker Broadcom is making waves in the stock market, with Bank of America predicting it could be the next stock to reach a trillion-dollar market cap. After beating earnings estimates and announcing a 10-to-1 stock split, the semiconductor manufacturer’s stock surged to an all-time high of $1,696.
Bank of America analysts are bullish on Broadcom’s future prospects, upgrading the firm’s price target to $2,000, indicating an 18% upside from current levels. They see Broadcom as uniquely positioned to grow in custom AI chips, Ethernet networking, and VMware upsell, thanks to its strong sales tied to AI products.
In addition to its strong sales outlook, with a forecast of $51 billion in sales this fiscal year, Bank of America raised its sales forecasts for fiscal year 2025 to $59.9 billion. Analysts also highlighted Broadcom’s debt paydown and double-digit free cash flow growth as factors that could drive further growth in the coming years.
If Bank of America’s price target proves accurate, Broadcom could join the ranks of stocks with trillion-dollar market capitalization, alongside companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple. Nvidia, in particular, has seen its stock soar in recent months, thanks to its pivotal role in the AI wave.
As an investor, keeping an eye on Broadcom’s growth potential and strategic positioning in the semiconductor industry could prove to be a lucrative investment opportunity.
