Investors have a couple of new reasons to like portfolio stocks Broadcom and Goldman Sachs . Deal king: Coterra named Goldman Sachs as a financial advisor on its $58 billion all-stock merger with fellow shale producer Devon . The deal is the largest in the energy sector since Diamondback ‘s $26 billion acquisition of Endeavor Energy Resources in 2024, which Goldman also had a small hand in . Goldman’s role in the Coterra-Devon merger is a boon for its investment banking business, which accounted for 15% of overall revenue last year. GS 1Y mountain Goldman Sachs 1 year After Goldman’s noisy earnings report last month, CEO David Solomon said that “M & A transactions often kick off a flywheel of activity across our entire franchise.” The continued deal news further validates our initial thesis on the stock, which has gained 7.6% year to date, compared to the S & P 500 ‘s 1.5% increase. We started a position in late 2024 in hopes of an investment-banking rebound due to Donald Trump ‘s presidential election victory. That’s exactly what we’re seeing. The Club has a price target of $1,050 on Goldman, and a 2 rating , meaning we would be buyers on a pullback. Chip potential : Mizuho said to buy the recent pullback in Club name Broadcom — citing an acceleration in earnings potential in the year ahead on multiple custom chip business possibilities. Shares of Broadcom have been underperforming, down nearly 20% from their December record close and off round 3.6% this year. In a Sunday note, Mizuho analysts pointed to fellow Club holding Meta Platforms as a potential $10 billion to $15 billion customer of Broadcom. AVGO 1Y mountain Broadcom 1 year As we pointed out on Friday , Broadcom has been benefiting from helping Alphabet ‘s Google build its tensor processing units. Mizuho predicted the average selling price for some of these TPUs could jump by 50% in the next few years. The analysts reiterated their buy-equivalent rating on Broadcom and $480-per-share price target, implying 44% upside to current prices of around $332. The Club, however, wants to wait for a further pullback before upgrading Broadcom back to a buy. We’re currently at a hold-equivalent 2 rating . We have a $425 price target.
