Broadcom (AVGO) is scheduled to publish quarterly results after the bell on Thursday, and at least one analyst sees an attractive way of betting on an increase in subsequent actions.
Broadcom’s shares are expected to move almost 6% in any direction between Thursday’s closure and Friday’s closure, according to options for options. A movement of that size would put the shares in a historical maximum of $ 320 or, in the inconvenience, around $ 285, which would be its lowest closure since the end of July.
Even so, 6% is a modest change for Broadcom actions. The actions moved an average of 7.4% after the profits in the last three years, and 12.1% in the last four quarters. The relatively silenced movement involved by the price of the options is one of the reasons why JPMorgan Bram Kaplan’s strategist on Thursday supported the use of derivatives to bet an upward bet in Broadcom’s profits.

Kaplan recommended buying for $ 1.80 for $ 320- $ 330 the call differential in contracts that expire on Friday.
Broadcom is the best choice of semiconductors from JPMorgan analysts, “given their exposure to infrastructure expenditure trends combined with its diversified final market exhibition and the best margins of gross cash flow, operational and class free,” according to Kaplan.
The firm predicts a trimester of rhythm and collection of Broadcom, and the income of IA is expected to exceed the Wall Street consensus of $ 5.1 billion and fall somewhere between $ 5.2 billion and $ 5.4 billion. They also expect orientation to easily exceed expectations.
JPMorgan is not just like the stock. The 14 analysts tracked by Visible Alpha with current Broadcom Stock Will It evaluations to a “purchase”. Its average target price of $ 320.55 represents 6% rise since the closing of Wednesday.
The Broadcom report occurs a week after the results of the AI ​​Chip Nvidia (NVDA) leader slightly better than expected showed that the demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure, such as Broadcom chips and the networks, remains robust. As with Nvidia, investors will be eager to know how Broadcom is sailing through the tensions between the United States and China, since the Asian country represented approximately one fifth of Broadcom’s income last year.
