Tue Feb 04 21:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Broadcom Stock Dip Presents Buying Opportunity Despite Chinese AI Advance: Analyst
**NEW YORK, NY** – The recent emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI chatbot requiring significantly less computational power, sent shockwaves through the tech sector, causing a dip in Broadcom (AVGO) stock. However, a top-rated investor, known as “On the Pulse,” believes this dip presents a compelling buying opportunity.
On the Pulse, a 5-star analyst on TipRanks, contends that fears of decreased demand for AI chips are unfounded. While acknowledging the impressive capabilities of DeepSeek, the analyst emphasizes the continued strong demand for US-produced AI hardware, particularly Broadcom’s custom chips, due to the limited number of firms capable of supplying the critical computing infrastructure required by American companies.
Despite slowing year-over-year growth, Broadcom is still projected to increase sales by 12% to over $61 billion this year, with gross margins remaining in the high 70s in 2025, according to On the Pulse. The analyst notes that the current share price, trading at 27 times leading profits, is slightly cheaper than Nvidia’s valuation, making it an attractive entry point.
“The DeepSeek-inspired crash created new investment opportunities,” On the Pulse stated, recommending a “Buy” rating for AVGO. This sentiment is echoed by Wall Street, with a Strong Buy consensus rating from analysts, based on 23 Buy and 3 Hold ratings. The 12-month average price target stands at $236.29, suggesting potential gains of approximately 8.5%.
