WR Hambrecht + Co today initiated research coverage on Broadcom (Nasdaq: BRCM - news) with a buy rating and a price target of $295.

``We believe shares of Broadcom are an ideal choice for investors looking to participate in the expected long-term growth of broadband communications. The Company's design and integration technology strength, along with its aggressive acquisition strategy, generates significant barriers to entry, and could allow the Company to continue to distance itself from the competitors,' Liang said.
Liang projects Broadcom's total revenues could reach $830.5 million in 2000 and $1.2 billion in 2001, up from the 1999 total of $518.2 million.
