Heading into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 4.84% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 3.65% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.66% in that time.

This would mark a year-over-year decline of 8.21%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $5.76 billion, up 5.72% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $21.28 per share and revenue of $22.55 billion. These totals would mark changes of +2.21% and +8.17%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AVGO. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
