Alternative ways to invest in Broadcom
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Broadcom), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Broadcom is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is it a good time to buy Broadcom stock?
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Broadcom's shares have ranged in value from as little as $502.692 up to $999.87. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Broadcom's is 1.125. This would suggest that Broadcom's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Is Broadcom under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Broadcom P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Broadcom's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Broadcom shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 10, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Broadcom's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Cisco Systems (CSCO.US): 14.61
- Skyworks Solutions (SWKS.US): 15.43
Broadcom's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5184. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Broadcom's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Broadcom's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Broadcom's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $20.3 billion (£16 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Broadcom's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Intel Corporation (INTC.US): USD$8.3 billion
- Cisco Systems (CSCO.US): USD$18.1 billion
- Skyworks Solutions (SWKS.US): USD$1.6 billion
