Investing.com - Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:AVGO) with a Buy rating and a price target of $315.00 on Thursday. The semiconductor giant, currently trading near its 52-week high with a market capitalization of $1.31 trillion, has received a "GREAT" financial health score according to InvestingPro analysis.
The investment bank cited Broadcom's dominant franchise position across several segments of infrastructure software, achieved through its long-term merger and acquisition strategy.
Goldman Sachs expects Broadcom to maintain its leading position in enterprise networking silicon while leveraging this advantage to secure majority share in custom silicon processors for major U.S. hyperscalers.
The firm projects artificial intelligence will comprise over 40% of Broadcom's business by 2026, while the company continues generating steady, growing profitability in its core infrastructure software business.
Goldman Sachs justified Broadcom's premium valuation by pointing to greater visibility provided by its sole-sourced position at key silicon accounts and the mission-critical nature of its software portfolio.

Fitch Ratings assigned a 'BBB' rating to Broadcom's proposed senior notes issue, highlighting the company's strengthened financial flexibility and a robust revenue profile bolstered by AI and VMware products.
