Is It Time to Bail on Broadcom?

Broadcom is a fabless semiconductor company that lives up to its namesake as it develops a wide range of semiconductor products for a vast array of end markets. One market that is particularly important to Broadcom is the mobile and wireless segment. In this market, Broadcom supplies components such as touch controllers, connectivity combo chips, and (to a limited extent) cellular modems and the attendant applications processors.
