Read MoreHide Full Article
Broadcom Inc. (AVGO - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $315.53, moving +0.89% from the previous trading session. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.16%. Elsewhere, the Dow 0%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.26%.
Heading into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 11.04% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 4.79% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.12% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from AVGO as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect AVGO to post earnings of $5.37 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 8.21%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $5.76 billion, up 5.72% from the year-ago period.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AVGO. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. AVGO is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note AVGO's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 13.42. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 21.69, so we one might conclude that AVGO is trading at a discount comparatively.
Also, we should mention that AVGO has a PEG ratio of 1.14.
