Once a darling of the floundering chip space, smartphone chip stocks
have had a rather rough time of it over the past year or so. Avago (Nasdaq:AVGO), Skyworks (Nasdaq:SWKS), Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM), and Broadcom (Nasdaq:BRCM)
have all notably lagged the market over the past year. While it's true
that these one-time market-beaters may have overshot the mark and been
due for a retrenchment, investors have nevertheless been worried about
the pace of high-end smartphone demand and the risk of increased
price-based competition from Asian suppliers.
Though I'd be very careful about simply plugging my ears and ignoring
the threats to Broadcom's business, this stock continues to look like a
solid name for the long term. That said, with the stock close to a
52-week high, the potential here isn't quite what it once was.
