- Marvell Technology Will Heat Up Very Soon and I'm Buying in Advance
Marvell Technology (MRVL) fell 17.24% in the week ended October 16 to $227.83, after a 168.54% year-to-date gain. The article describes Marvell as a supplier of AI networking chips such as optical DSPs, Ethernet switches and custom silicon. Its Data Center revenue grew 21%, 27% and 46% over recent quarters, and management guided Q3 Data Center growth to about 75% on total revenue of $3.150 billion. A warrant granted to Google could let it acquire up to 7% of Marvell's shares, tied to revenue targets, while non-GAAP operating margin rose to 36.6% from 34.8%. Key risks cited include Data Center making up 79% of revenue, customer concentration, Chinese trade restrictions and $4.963B of debt.
- What Do the 8% of Analysts Who Will Not Buy Marvell (MRVL) See?
Marvell Technology (MRVL) closed at $241.24 on October 15 and has returned 80.88% over six months, well ahead of the 15.4% return of the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 11.4% of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. According to CNN, 92% of analysts covering the stock rate it a buy, while the remaining 8% do not. The article says the holdouts are not doubting growth or Marvell's position, which is supported by 36.5% revenue growth in the latest quarter and a 174% share price gain over the past year. Their concerns centre on valuation: the stock trades at 62.11 times next year's expected earnings, the most demanding multiple in the article's list, while operating margin of 16.68% is modest against peers selling into AI. The article frames the disagreement as one about price rather than the health of the business.
- eMemory/PUFsecurity Showcases OCP S.A.F.E.-Approved PUFrt at OCP Global Summit, Strengthening AI Data Center Security with Caliptra
PUFsecurity, a subsidiary of eMemory Technology, was featured at Microsoft's Caliptra Workshop on Oct. 12, the opening day of the 2026 OCP Global Summit, which drew nearly 400 attendees. Its PUFrt received OCP S.A.F.E. Scope 3 approval after an independent assessment of its resistance to physical attacks such as fault injection and side-channel attacks, and is now listed on the OCP Marketplace. PUFrt provides the physical security foundation for Caliptra, an open-source hardware Root-of-Trust architecture, from key generation to chip mass-production testing. It has already been integrated into Caliptra products from ASPEED and security systems from several memory makers and networking chip vendors. The company says the milestone advances hardware security for cloud and AI infrastructure.
- Broadcom's Time is Nearing as Neocloud Risk Jolts Nvidia
The author says they bought more Broadcom shares after the stock fell 9.07% in the week ending October 16 to $328.75, citing its role co-designing custom AI chips for large customers. AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70 billion in fiscal Q3, up 221%, and management guided Q4 to $21.70 billion. The company says it has already secured supply for fiscal 2027 and 2028, generated $13.7 billion in free cash flow, and pays a $0.65 quarterly dividend. The article flags risks such as customer concentration, while noting that NVIDIA has approached insurers about covering losses on loans to neocloud customers. Broadcom reports again on December 9, 2026, against guidance for $34.80 billion in revenue.
- Nvidia wins CPU business from Modal, previously exclusive to AMD and Intel
Modal, a San Francisco-based AI cloud startup that previously ran its AI agent workloads only on Intel and AMD processors, will begin using Nvidia's new Vera CPU. Early tests showed the Nvidia chip doubled work capacity for AI agents, and Modal plans to run it alongside Intel and AMD chips, assigning each task to the most efficient hardware, though integration requires substantial software changes. Modal recently raised $750 million in a round led by Accel at a $15.75 billion valuation and expects $1 billion in sales over the next year, with usage tripled and revenue up more than 15 times year-over-year. Nvidia projects at least $20 billion in Vera chip revenue this fiscal year in a market it estimates at about $200 billion, and says OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle and Perplexity also plan to use the chips.
- 1 Analyst Thinks Alphabet Stock Could Jump 20% on AI Chip Demand. Is He Right?
J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth raised his price target for Alphabet stock to $425, about 23% above the current price, betting that selling its custom TPU AI processors to other companies will accelerate cloud revenue. Google Cloud sales rose 82% to $24.8 billion in the second quarter of 2026, and Anmuth thinks cloud revenue could double in the third quarter. Piper Sandler's Thomas Champion estimates Google's processor sales could reach $104 billion by 2028, compared with Alphabet's total second-quarter revenue of $120 billion. Alphabet reported Q2 EPS of $9.11, up 294%, but some investors worry about its roughly $200 billion AI infrastructure spending this year. The stock trades at a trailing P/E of about 17, versus a tech sector average of 33.

- Is Nvidia Stock Really Trading for Just 8 Times 2030 Earnings?
Nvidia is the market's most valuable company, with a market cap above $5 trillion. It trades at 27 times adjusted trailing earnings, but only about 8 times analysts' estimate for fiscal 2030 earnings, a figure the author stresses is a moving target. Revenue growth accelerated from 56% in Q2 FY 2026 to 106% in Q2 FY 2027, though guidance points to a slight slowdown in the current quarter. The stock trades at 13 times next year's earnings, and the board recently authorized a record $150 billion in share repurchases. The author also acknowledges risks such as slower growth or contracting net margins.
- US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday ordered civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party services built on the model from their IT systems, and to stop buying them. The notice warns that using DeepSeek may transfer sensitive data to China and could produce intelligence on U.S. persons and agencies. The Commerce Department, the Navy, and the states of New York, Tennessee and Virginia had already restricted DeepSeek. The FCC votes on October 29 on barring Chinese labs from testing electronics for U.S. use.
- Tesla-SpaceX merger is 'not so easy': Analyst
Speculation about a possible merger between SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) has grown on Wall Street in recent weeks. RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan says it would not be simple: SpaceX would have to acquire Tesla, likely in an all-stock deal, and would need to pay a strong premium. He sets a $480 price target for Tesla, while the shares trade near $367. The longer-term focus may be Terafab, Elon Musk's chip initiative aimed at cutting production costs by up to 90% and bypassing Nvidia and TSMC. Musk currently controls 85% of SpaceX's voting rights and 20% of Tesla's.
- Is Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Priced Right?
Chip stocks fell sharply last week, and Nvidia (NVDA) dropped nearly 2% as investors worried that heavily indebted AI companies would face higher borrowing costs after bond yields jumped for CoreWeave, a cloud company Nvidia backs. CoreWeave shares had fallen more than 15% the day before. Nvidia's own numbers show no sign of that stress: it sold $96.2 billion of chips and systems in the quarter ended July, up 106% from a year earlier, mostly from data center sales. Its net profit margin was 63.66% over the past 12 months, and management expects $108.0 billion in revenue next quarter, assuming no data center sales to China. The key risk is whether customers can keep paying for chips if interest rates stay high, and the planned partnerships to bring over $500 billion of outside capital into AI infrastructure have not yet become definitive agreements.
- Networking Stocks Rally as Tech Rebound Lifts AI Gear Makers: Ciena and Arista Climb 4%, but Cisco Barely Moves
Networking stocks rallied with the tech rebound as suppliers of AI data center gear drew buying: Ciena (CIEN) rose 4% to $347.48 and Arista Networks (ANET) climbed 4% to $183.32, well ahead of the iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW) at 1.29% and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) at 1.31%, while Cisco (CSCO) was practically unchanged at $107.06. Ciena's fiscal Q3 2026 adjusted EPS was $2.11 against a $1.73 consensus, with revenue up 37% year over year to $1.67 billion, and it raised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $6.42 billion. Its backlog reached $8.5 billion, but supply remains the limit, and management does not expect the market to return to balance before 2028. Two customers made up 41.7% of Q3 revenue, so Ciena's growth is concentrated. The next test is whether Ciena can hit its fiscal Q4 2026 revenue guidance of $1.75 billion under tight component supply.
- Gartner Predicts “80% of Neoclouds” Out of Business by 2030: Here’s Who Wins
Gartner forecast on October 14 that more than 80% of neoclouds will stop operating independently by 2030, and CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 25% last week. The article argues that hyperscalers funding AI capacity from their own cash flow, led by Amazon and Alphabet, are likely winners as credit tightens for indebted neoclouds. Amazon generated $140 billion of operating cash flow in fiscal 2025, more than covering $132 billion of capex, while CoreWeave's total debt reached $29.8 billion. Since their July 29 closing low, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are up 15.6%, compared with 1.6% for IREN, CoreWeave and Nebius. Hyperscaler earnings in the coming weeks will need to show whether sold-out capacity is turning into results.
