Why Link Is Bullish on AVGO Stock

The investor is pleased by the actions that Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) has taken to diversify its revenue sources.

Specifically, AI chips account for 30% of the firm's revenue, while software generates 40% of its sales, Link reported.

"That's a great combination," she said.

Additionally, the company just announced that it would buy back $10 billion of its own shares, she stated.

"That's not (a) huge buyback, but it's actually an endorsement that they feel good about their business," Link said.

Finally, the shares are still 14% below their highs, she noted.
