From the Merrill report:

"We recognize that valuation is extended on any measure if one looks at 1999 revenue and earnings. We encourage investors to focus on what we have been saying for some time - Broadcom is on track to be at a $900 million annual revenue run rate by mid-2001. The company, when it gets there, should still be delivering annual growth in the 30% to 40% range. At that point the company could easily be capitalized at $20 billion, based on valuations currently being applied to communications-intensive semiconductor companies. We think that represents attractive upside from the current level - our price objective is $157."

There are some CYA statements in the above, however, when the $157 price objective is reached, given nothing else changes, Osha will raise his price target to $180. This according to my guy at Merrill: Osha is extremely bullish on BRCM.

Kevin,

Thanks much for posting the ML report. BRCM does indeed seem to have a very bright future. Lots of intellectual capital, strong management, and a pretty solid growth strategy. The move into layers 2 and 3 is particularly astute IMO. I originally got interested in this company as a cable modem play, and may have lucked into the beginnings of a Cisco-like monster!

Take care,

jack
