Canaccord Genuity Raises Price Target on Avago (AVGO)

Canaccord Genuity announced on Monday that it has raised its price target on Avago Technologies Ltd (AVGO).

The firm has maintained a “Buy” rating on AVGO, and has increased the company’s price target from $45 to $53. This price target suggests a 20% upside from the stock’s current price of $42.55.

Analyst Michael Walkly commented: "Teardown analysis of the iPhone 5S and 5C by iFixit suggests Avago has maintained very strong RF dollar content share.”

“We believe these trends are consistent with our long-term thesis that Avago is well positioned to benefit from the rapidly growing demand for FBAR/BAW filters needed to support the growing mix of LTE smartphones.”

“We also believe Avago’s proprietary technologies, strong IP portfolio, and diverse customer base in several growth markets position the company for strong long-term growth trends with industry leading margins,” added the analyst.

Looking ahead, the analyst expects to see 2015 EPS of $3.93 per share. Revenue is expected to be $3.4 billion.

Avago Technologies shares were up 93 cents, or 2.26%, during Monday morning trading. The stock is up 34% YTD.
