Broadcom (AVGO) and Marvell (MRVL) both reported strong AI results this summer as hyperscalers increasingly want chips designed around their own models. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70 billion, up 221% year over year, with XPUs making up 73% of AI revenue, and it expects AI revenue of about $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028. Marvell's data center revenue rose 46% to $2.17 billion, driven by connectivity such as optical DSPs and switching, and management expects its custom business to more than double in fiscal 2028. The article flags Broadcom's customer concentration and supply bottlenecks as key risks, while Broadcom is down 4.49% year to date and Marvell is up 168.54%.

- Google’s Next AI Chip Is Running Late. Why Marvell May Be Fine
GF Securities says one part of Google's TPU v9 design slipped about three weeks, likely due to a redesign, pushing the timeline back roughly a quarter, with mass production now expected in Q2 2027. Packaging substrate yields of just 45% to 50% are a key obstacle, but GF sees no demand problem, citing strong TPU demand from Google and external customers such as Anthropic. The firm points to MediaTek, not Marvell (MRVL), as facing short-term headwinds, so any benefit to Marvell appears indirect. At 63x forward earnings, a 66% premium to its five-year average P/E of 38.02x, the article concludes the delay is not by itself a reason to buy.
- Meta Tested Broadcom’s CPO for 1 Million Port-Hours. What It Found
Micas Networks announced a compact co-packaged optics (CPO) switch built on Broadcom's Tomahawk 6-Davisson chip, with production expected in early 2027. Davisson is Broadcom's third-generation CPO switch and can move 102.4 terabits per second. A paper presented in October 2025 said Meta tested Broadcom's previous-generation CPO switches for one million cumulative device hours without a single link failure, while using 65% less power per lane than traditional pluggable optics. Davisson has not yet published comparable data, and Nvidia's Spectrum-X Photonics CPO switch is already in full production. Broadcom (AVGO) trades at a forward non-GAAP P/E of 30.43x, about 11% above its 5-year average, though analysts expect earnings to rise about 71% this fiscal year.
- Is Broadcom Stock Cheap Enough Yet?
Broadcom (AVGO) closed at $328.75 on October 16, 2026, 31.5% below its highest close of the past year, and shareholders lost 5.7% over twelve months while the S&P 500 returned 16.2%. The price-to-earnings multiple fell to 43.7 a year after 82.1 at the end of September 2025, as diluted EPS doubled from $3.92 to $7.83, yet it remains higher than at 19 of 35 earlier quarter ends since late 2017. The operating margin reached 48.5% over the twelve months to August 2, 2026, the highest at any quarter end since late 2016. AI semiconductor revenue was $16.7 billion in fiscal Q3 2026, 56% of total revenue, and management guided fiscal Q4 revenue to $34.8 billion, up 93%, while analysts expect about $35.6 billion. Management said supply is secured to roughly double AI revenue to about $115 billion in fiscal 2027, but land, power, and shell for data centers remain a major concern.
- Newport Capital Group LLC Purchases 3 , 096 Shares of Broadcom Inc . $AVGO
According to Holdings Channel, Newport Capital Group LLC opened a new position of 3,096 shares of Broadcom in the third quarter, worth about $1,156,000, or roughly 0.8% of its portfolio as its 23rd-largest holding. The article highlights mixed news: CEO Hock Tan warned that rising financing costs and speculative AI spending could slow expansion, while Broadcom reportedly plans $60 billion of financing linked to Anthropic. Erste Group raised its FY2027 earnings forecast, but higher-than-expected inflation has prompted investors to rotate away from expensive tech and AI stocks. Bank of America cut its price target from $530.00 to $460.00 while keeping a buy rating.
- $3,000 Split Across Nvidia, Broadcom, and TSMC Could Be Worth This Much by 2030
The author suggests that a $3,000 stake split among five shares of Nvidia, three of Broadcom, and two of Taiwan Semiconductor could grow to over $9,000 by the end of 2030, if AI infrastructure spending keeps expanding. For Nvidia, analysts expect fiscal 2031 revenue near $1.2 trillion, while the author's own estimate is over $1.9 trillion, which at a 20 forward P/E implies about $830 per share. Broadcom's custom AI chip business is projected to double twice to $230 billion, and with EPS of $52.15 at a 20 forward P/E, the stock could trade near $1,043. TSMC, the world's largest foundry, is assumed to reach adjusted EPS of about $48.35 in 2031, implying roughly $967 per share. The main risk noted is an AI slowdown.
- Here's What $10,000 Invested in Broadcom Will Be Worth by 2028
The article argues that Broadcom, which designs custom AI chips for large hyperscaler clients such as Alphabet, Meta, Anthropic and OpenAI, could grow strongly. AI semiconductor revenue is expected to reach $57.6 billion this year, $115 billion next year and $230 billion by 2028, roughly a fourfold increase in two years. Adding non-AI revenue of about $48 billion this year, growing 10% a year in 2027 and 2028, the author estimates about $288 billion in total revenue by 2028. Assuming a 40% profit margin, below the 44% in the latest quarter, and a 30 times earnings multiple, the author arrives at a $3.45 trillion company value versus $1.65 trillion today, implying a $10,000 investment could become $20,000 by the end of 2028 if the projections hold.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast. KeyBanc's Justin Patterson wants more content investment, product changes, expense cuts and a possible first-ever dividend.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.
- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off. The Tech sector (XLK) rose, led by Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Micron (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHY). Intel (INTC) also jumped after JPMorgan analysts upgraded the stock, while CoreWeave (CRWV), hammered last week, rebounded on a Goldman Sachs upgrade. Investors are watching this week's reports from Netflix (NFLX), SpaceX (SPCX), Tesla (TSLA) and Meta (META). The 10-year Treasury (^TNX) yield hovered near 5.1%, while Brent crude (BZ=F) dropped to $108 per barrel and WTI (CL=F) hovered below $98.
- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
