Qualcomm holders likely compelled by $80 per share offer, says Nomura

A takeover offer of $80 per share or higher by Broadcom (AVGO) would be perceived as “highly compelling” to Qualcomm’s (QCOM) largest shareholders, Nomura Instinet analyst Romit Shah told investors yesterday in a research note. He believes Broadcom “has a lot of leverage” even though Qualcomm expressed no interest in negotiating yesterday when rejecting Broadcom’s $70 per share offer. Broadcom is likely to get more aggressive with its bid for Qualcomm, via either the launch of a public exchange offer for all shares or announcing a slate of directors for nomination, Shah contends. The analyst sees more upside in Broadcom than Qualcomm should a deal get consummated. Broadcom can rally 35% to $360 per share while Qualcomm will likely rally 15%-25% to $75-$80 per share in a deal scenario, the analyst estimates.
