Summary:
- Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) rose 10% on Friday morning, after the company posted mixed earnings and revenue guidance that beat Wall Street expectations.
- As the stock is still early in its current rising minor cycle, we believe more gains are likely before corrective forces kick in later in the spring.
