Broadcom shares rose 3.18% in pre-market trading on December 22, 2025, signaling renewed investor confidence ahead of the opening bell.

Analysts have maintained a strong bullish stance, with Truist raising its price target to $510 from $500 and Morgan Stanley reaffirming a Buy rating with a $462 target. UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri also upgraded the stock to $475, citing robust AI semiconductor revenue growth and upwardly revised fiscal 2026 estimates.

Jim Cramer highlighted Broadcom’s strategic position in the AI infrastructure sector, praising CEO Hock Tan’s track record and expressing optimism about the company’s ability to navigate recent post-earnings volatility. The stock had dipped sharply following concerns over margin pressures from lower-margin AI hardware and customer in-house design shifts.

Despite short-term selling pressure, analysts argue the pullback reflects market overreaction to long-term growth prospects, particularly in AI-driven revenue streams. Institutional investors remain active, with recent trades indicating continued strategic positioning ahead of key guidance updates.
