www.barchart.com What the Brocade Gen 8 Launch Means for Broadcom Stock
AVGO shares rallied on the Brocade Gen 8 announcement mostly because it positions the company at the forefront of next-gen storage networking. These switches aren’t just a speed upgrade; they’re a strategic leap.
With 128G throughput, quantum-safe encryption, and AI-driven SAN intelligence, Broadcom is effectively targeting the high-performance backbone of AI data centers.
Demand for deterministic, low-latency storage fabrics is growing fast as enterprise clients continue to scale GPU clusters and mission-critical artificial intelligence workloads.
The launch of Brocade Gen 8 strengthens AVGO’s moat in enterprise infrastructure and deepens its ties with OEMs like Dell (DELL) and HPE (HPE).
Plus, it reinforces the firm’s strategy of embedding AI into its networking stack, an increasingly valuable differentiator as artificial intelligence workloads become more storage-bound.
Citi Sees Significant Further Upside in AVGO Shares
Citi’s senior analyst Christopher Danely sees Broadcom shares as worth owning heading into 2026, especially after the company’s launch of the Brocade Gen 8 switches.
Danely maintains a “Buy” rating on the semiconductor behemoth with a $415 price target signaling potential upside of another 17% from current levels.
“From our conversations, it appears NVDA is less popular compared to AVGO stock given lower EPS growth,” he told clients in his latest research note.
Still, Broadcom is trading at a more attractive sales multiple of less than 29x at the time of writing, versus Nvidia’s nearly 34x.
Broadcom Remains in Favor With Wall Street Analysts
Other Wall Street analysts also recommend sticking with Broadcom stock for the long-term.
