Broadcom’s Software Makeover Doesn’t Fully Mask Chip Swings

Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan isn’t someone who finds blowing money appetizing. But that $40,000 dinner seems to have gone down well. That was the reported cost for Tan to sit at the table of Chinese President Xi Jinping during a dinner at last month’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco. It is a notable sum for an executive known for running one of the most tightfisted chip companies in the business. Broadcom spends just 4% of its annual revenue on sales and marketing—compared with 11% on average by companies on the PHLX Semiconductor Index.  Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

LVMH to Buy Eyewear Brand Favored by the Stars

PARIS—LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has agreed to buy Los Angeles-based eyewear maker Barton Perreira, part of the luxury conglomerate’s push to extend its reach to goods with mass-market appeal. Eyewear has emerged in recent years as one of the first purchases that aspiring luxury consumers make before moving on to more expensive items such as handbags. That is prompting LVMH and other luxury-goods companies to wean themselves off licensing agreements with third-party manufacturers and develop in-house eyewear operations.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Published exclusively on Dow Jones Newswires at 4:20 ET, 12:20 ET and 16:50 ET.1005 ET – Smith & Nephew’s shares have fallen too far, JPMorgan says, upgrading the artificial-hip maker to overweight from neutral. The stock has dropped to 10-year lows in the last few weeks on factors such as concerns about a margin-guidance downgrade after lackluster first-half margins, JPM says. Still, stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenues are likely to build confidence that top-line growth is sustainable, JPM says. “The de-rating in our view is overdone and we believe investors are likely to revisit the investment case,” JPM analyst David Adlington writes, though the bank cuts its price target on the stock...
