Cramer Names Broadcom "An Undervalued Stock", Despite Recent Declines

"This is an undervalued stock versus where people thought it was going to be. The stock had just posted record quarterly revenue, AI sales more than doubled year-over-year, and management authorized a fresh $10 billion buyback. Yet the shares were still sitting roughly 18% below their December peak."

"The PEG ratio divides the forward P/E ratio by the expected earnings growth rate. A PEG ratio below 1.0 is generally considered undervalued for a growth company. Above 2.0 typically signals that the market is pricing in perfection. Broadcom's forward P/E sits at 31.35, which sounds elevated until you factor in the growth rate."

"With Q1 AI revenue growing 106% year-over-year and total revenue up 29.5% in the most recent quarter, the earnings growth rate is running well ahead of the multiple. The result: a PEG ratio of 0.87, comfortably below 1.0. By this measure, Broadcom is not just reasonably priced for a high-growth semiconductor company - it's cheap relative to its own growth trajectory."

Broadcom's stock trades approximately 18% below its December peak despite posting record quarterly revenue, with AI sales more than doubling year-over-year and a $10 billion buyback authorization. Using the PEG ratio framework—which divides forward P/E by expected earnings growth—Broadcom scores 0.87, well below the 1.0 threshold indicating undervaluation for growth companies. With Q1 AI revenue growing 106% year-over-year and total revenue up 29.5%, the company's earnings growth significantly outpaces its 31.35 forward P/E multiple. However, macroeconomic factors like geopolitical tensions and energy price spikes can temporarily override fundamental valuations and compress growth multiples across the semiconductor sector.
