UPDATE: Broadcom shares fall 2% premarket after company says wireless was weak in Q2

Broadcom Inc. shares slid 2% premarket Monday, after the company narrowed the range for its second-quarter non-GAAP revenue outlook and provided an initial outlook for the third quarter. The chip maker said it expected second-quarter non-GAAP revenue of $5.000 billion, plus or minus $24 million. The company defines non-GAAP revenue as including de minimis amounts of expected licensing revenue that is not included in GAAP revenue due to the effects of purchase accounting for acquisitions. Non-GAAP measures that substitute individually tailored revenue recognition and measurement methods for GAAP could violate SEC rules. The FactSet consensus is for revenue of $5.009 billion. For the third quarter, the company said it expects non-GAAP revenue of $5.050 billion, plus or minus $75 million. The FactSet consensus is for revenue of $5.231 billion. "Our second quarter results reflect robust demand from datacenters which drove strong growth in our wired and enterprise storage segments while wireless was weak," Chief Executive Hock Tan said in a statement. "Looking ahead to our third fiscal quarter, we expect continued strength in demand from datacenters while wireless remains weak." The company continues to target full-year free cash flow that exceeds 40% of revenue. Shares have gained 5.4% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 12%.

Shares of Apple Inc. and several chipmakers are down in Thursday morning trading after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. delivered a June-quarter outlook that came up short of expectations.

Broadcom shares rise on plan to buy back up to $12 billion in stock

Broadcom Ltd. shares rose in the extended session Thursday after the chipmaker announced a large share buyback plan that had been anticipated after its deal to acquire Qualcomm Inc. fell apart. Broadcom shares rallied 4.5% after hours, following a 0.4% decline to close at $239.43 Thursday. Broadcom said its board authorized the repurchase of up to $12 billion in shares out to Nov. 3, 2019. "We are maintaining our policy of delivering 50% of trailing 12-month free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends while adding the ability to use the balance of our free cash flow not only for acquisitions but also for opportunistic buybacks," said Tom Krause, Broadcom's chief financial officer, in a statement. In mid-March, Broadcom withdrew its offer to buy Qualcomm after the deal was blocked by President Donald Trump, and analysts said the company would likely pursue share buybacks.

Intel, Nvidia lead chip stocks higher after Evercore maintains bullish view

Shares of Intel Corp. , Nvidia Corp. , Lam Research Inc. , and ASML Holding NV are rising in Monday morning trading after Evercore ISI analyst CJ Muse named the stocks his "best ideas" for the upcoming earnings season. Muse called Intel "a bastion of safety" and raised his price target on the stock to $60 from $55. "Considering shares remains under-owned, support from 2.5% dividend yield, and trade at a P/E of only 11x, we view Intel as best risk/reward into earnings," he wrote. Intel shares are up 3% in Monday's session. He thinks that earnings represent "a clear positive catalyst" for Nvidia shares, currently up 2.6%, even amid concerns about crypto revenue. Muse predicts that gaming and data center revenue represent sources of potential upside for Nvidia. He thinks Lam Research carries "the most upside" heading into earnings and raised his price target on the stock to $300 from $260. Muse is generally upbeat about the semiconductor sector and thinks concerns about a potential trade war's effect on the industry are "overblown." Shares of other chip stocks including Broadcom Ltd. and Western Digital Corp. are heading higher in Monday's session. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is up 2.4%, outpacing gains for the S&P 500 , up 1.1%.

Micron stock falls after UBS initiates with sell rating, warns of 'cyclical memory concerns'

Shares of Micron Technology Inc. are down 3.6% in Thursday trading after analysts at UBS initiated coverage of the stock with a sell rating. The analysts, led by Timothy Arcuri, have a negative view of Micron due to "cyclical memory concerns and big estimate cuts." Arcuri's initiated coverage of Micron along with other companies in the semiconductor industry. In general, he wrote: The supply chain has struggled to keep inventory growing anywhere close to revenue growth during the past 4Qs and the entirety of C2017. This had helped fuel a very favorable cyclical backdrop for the sector with respect to both revenue and margins, but this factor is rapidly waning and will likely shift to more of a headwind moving through C2018, especially in 2H:18." Arcuri initiated coverage of Broadcom Ltd. , Marvell Technology Group Ltd. , and KLA-Tencor Corp. with buy ratings. He assigned a sell rating to Texas Instruments Inc. . Shares of Micron are up 79% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 13% in that time and the PHLX Semiconductor Index has risen 32%.
