What Is the Latest Analyst Price Target?

The average target is US$531.31 and the median is US$535. The highest is US$715. The lowest listed target is US$215.88, which looks like an outlier or stale estimate; on that basis it implies downside of around 43% and should be read with caution.

The consensus rating is Strong Buy: 40 Strong Buy, seven Buy, three Hold and no Sell or Strong Sell ratings as at October 2026. The page notes that 40 analysts contribute to FY2026 Revenue and Earnings estimates. All of these are analyst forecasts, not company-reported figures.

Consensus figures vary between providers. A separate stock-screener dataset dated 8 October 2026 shows a share price of US$376.51, an average target of US$512.52, a median of US$515.00, and a range of US$350.00 to US$600.00.

What Are Analysts Saying?

Recent notes are positive, though some stated targets sit below the average. UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri reiterated Buy with a US$470 target on 2 October 2026. Bernstein's Stacy Rasgon reiterated Buy with US$575 on 21 September, and Mizuho's Vijay Rakesh maintained Buy with US$530 on 12 September.

Piper Sandler's David O'Connor initiated coverage on 9 September with a Buy and US$460 target, and DBS's Amanda Tan raised her target from US$390 to US$470 on 7 September. Aggregated analyst data noted that its analyst data was last updated on 2 October, so it may pre-date the latest price.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

Broadcom designs custom AI accelerators and high-speed networking chips for large cloud customers, alongside a broad range of wireless, storage and broadband semiconductors and an infrastructure software Franchise built on the VMware acquisition. Bullish analysts generally expect growing AI infrastructure spending to lift both custom silicon and Ethernet networking revenue.

Software subscriptions provide recurring Cash Flow that supports Buybacks and dividends. Strong quarterly results and a confident outlook for AI-related revenue would be the most direct route towards the consensus level, though the company's latest reported figures were not verified for.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

Customer concentration is a recurring concern: a small number of hyperscale customers account for much of the AI revenue, so changes in their spending plans could affect results. Competition from other chip designers and in-house efforts, export restrictions and Supply constraints at foundries are further risks.

Valuation also matters. Semiconductor shares can react sharply when growth expectations are not met, and the gap of more than 40% between the share price and the average target depends on forecasts holding. Margin dilution from the mix of custom accelerators is another point analysts sometimes raise, and any slowdown in enterprise software renewals would also weigh on sentiment.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Broadcom's next quarterly results, typically reported in December for its fiscal fourth quarter, will be the main event, though a confirmed date was not available in the sources reviewed. Investors will watch AI revenue, guidance, gross margin and software performance.

Updates from major cloud customers about Capital spending, and any export-control developments, will also influence sentiment. Further broker target changes are likely ahead of the results.
