MicroVision MOVIA lidar gains support on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform
On Friday, Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities reiterated its positive stance on Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:AVGO), maintaining an Outperform rating and a $250.00 price target. The semiconductor giant, now valued at over $1 trillion, has demonstrated impressive financial performance with a 40.3% revenue growth over the last twelve months. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company shows strong fundamentals, it appears to be trading above its Fair Value, with multiple valuation metrics in elevated territory. Broadcom is anticipated to benefit from the introduction of products such as TPUv7p/MTIA2 and collaborations with OpenAI on Strawberry and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s Baltra project.
The forecast also suggests potential for additional Custom ASIC engagements stretching into the first half of 2027. However, the report indicates that Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) Technology might face challenges due to a potential softening in CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) capacity in 2026, which could favor AlChip in terms of Trn3 technology gains.
The Mizuho analyst’s call also touched on near-term industry dynamics, noting that MediaTek, covered by Kevin Wang with a Buy rating and a TWD1,750 price target, could experience difficulties. These issues stem from yield problems with the v7e ramp, which may dampen MediaTek’s CoWoS outlook for 2026.
Broadcom, a key player in the semiconductor industry, seems poised to capitalize on the growing demand for custom ASIC solutions. The company’s collaboration with tech giants like OpenAI and Apple underscores its strategic positioning in the market. InvestingPro data reveals an impressive overall Financial Health Score of "GREAT," supporting Mizuho Securities’ confidence in Broadcom’s ability to navigate the evolving semiconductor landscape.
