Broadcom: VMWare Is Driving An Upgrade In Business Quality

Summary
  • Growth is healthy, both organically and inorganically. Upselling and an improved go-to-market strategy are leading to higher organic growth with great near-term revenue visibility.

  • AVGO is valued at a small discount vs peers. Given growth and margin catalysts, I believe there is a case for margin expansion and a premium multiple.
  • Relative technicals vs the S&P 500 point bullish, indicating a resumption of the alpha-generating trend.
  • Apple and customer concentration is a key risk monitorable, although the acquisition of VMWare is likely to reduce the extent of this risk.
