Reason

Truist raised the firm's price target on Broadcom to $510 from $500 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm adjusted price targets in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence group after establishing 2027 estimates. Truist recognizes the challenges of finding the power to run AI infrastructure and getting the funding to pay for it. However, the firm believes AI infrastructure semiconductor stocks "remain cheap" relative to their growth. It sees "more upside pressure" to estimates for the group relative to the diversified analog semis heading into 2026. AI capital expenditure upside will continue in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
