The Connecticut-based hedge fund owns 1.79 million shares of Broadcom Ltd (NASDAQ:AVGO) as of March 31, up 1.12 million shares relative to the stake recorded at the end of December.

Broadcom, the successor of the $37 billion Broadcom-Avago Technologies merger, represents a long-time supplier of communication chips to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Just recently, analysts at Nomura slashed the price target on Broadcom to $190 from $200 and reiterated their ‘Buy’ rating, citing weak demand for iPhones. Nomura said that iPhone 6s inventories are declining slower-than-anticipated, so the firm cut Broadcom’s fiscal 2016 earnings estimates to $9.09 per share from $9.49 a share. The shares of Broadcom are down 2% since the beginning of 2016 despite having gained 11% in the past three months.
