- 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.
