Broadcom Remains a Free Cash Flow Cow
Image: Broadcom’s shares have done quite well since the beginning of 2023. Broadcom’s cash from operations was $6.1 billion for the first quarter, less capital expenditures of $100 million, resulting in free cash flow of $6 billion, or 40% of revenue. Looking to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, management expects revenue of approximately $14.9 billion, above the $14.59 billion consensus estimate, and second quarter adjusted EBITDA to be 66% of projected revenue. Broadcom ended the quarter with $9.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-and long-term debt of $66.6 billion. Though its balance sheet is saddled with an outsized debt load, it remains a free cash flow cow.

Taiwan Semiconductor Benefiting from Strong Smartphone and AI Demand
Image: Taiwan Semiconductor released better than expected results. Taiwan Semiconductor ended the quarter with NT$2,167.6 billion in cash and marketable securities against long-term interest-bearing debt of NT$936.16, showcasing a nice net cash position. Free cash flow in the quarter advanced to NT$184.91 billion from NT$68.03 in the year-ago period. Looking to the fourth quarter of 2024, revenue is targeted in the range of US$26.1 billion and US$26.9 billion (consensus was at US$25.02 billion), while gross profit margin and operating profit margin, based on the exchange rate assumption of 1 US dollar to 32 NT dollars, are expected to be 57%-59% and 46.5-48.5%, respectively. We liked Taiwan Semiconductor’s results and outlook, and the company remains a key idea in the ESG Newsletter portfolio.

Brain Teaser - Reflexive versus Reflective
Image: Amy Leonard. Valuation multiples tend to trigger the reflexive side of our brain, and we process the multiples through anchoring. On the other hand, enterprise valuation, or the process required to answer the questions (in this article) correctly, shows that our reflexive process can be quite incorrect at times. In fact, cognitive biases such as anchoring can completely trip us up into missing out on truly undervalued companies that may have high P/E ratios while baiting us into value traps with low P/E ratios.

Broadcom Misses with Guidance for Its Fiscal Fourth Quarter
Image: Broadcom’s shares fell after the company issued fiscal fourth quarter guidance that came up short with respect to the consensus estimate. Looking to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Broadcom expects revenue of approximately $14 billion, and fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of approximately 64% of projected revenue, or $8.96 billion. Though the firm’s revenue guidance for the fourth quarter wasn’t poor, it did come in lower than the $14.13 billion that the Street was expecting, and shares were punished as a result. We’re not reading much into one quarterly report, however, and we maintain that trends in artificial intelligence are prolific.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.

Broadcom a Key Beneficiary of AI Investment
Broadcom recently reported better than expected first-quarter results for fiscal 2024. During the quarter, the company generated cash flow from operations of $4.8 billion and spent just $122 million in capital equipment, translating into tremendous free cash flow generation, well in excess of the $2.4 billion it paid in dividends in the quarter. We see Broadcom as a key beneficiary of AI investment and are keeping a close eye on the firm.
