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.
- What Is Nvidia (NVDA) Signaling With New AI Chip And Space Computing Deals?
NVIDIA is working with Samsung and TSMC on next-generation HBM chips built on TSMC's 3nm process, with Samsung planning to use that node for HBM and NVIDIA co-designing the base die for AI workloads. NVIDIA and SpaceX have also agreed to develop AI computers for use in space, a collaboration Elon Musk publicly praised. The article says these moves reinforce NVIDIA's positioning as a seller of full AI data center systems, while customer concentration and large customers' in-house chip efforts remain unresolved issues.
- Intel stock gets JPMorgan upgrade as AI and data center demand builds
J.P. Morgan's Harlan Sur upgraded Intel to neutral from underweight and kept the $85 price target unchanged. The speakers stress this is not a bullish call, since he sees the risk/reward as relatively balanced after the stock's pullback. He points to strong server demand, data center leads and good progress in custom chip manufacturing, but wants to see how the measures the company has put in place play out before getting more bullish. The discussion also noted that the US government taking a stake in Intel was hard to predict.
- 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.

- GMIF2026 : AI Inference Powers the Token Factory and Drives System - Level Rethinking of Memory & Storage
The 5th GMIF Innovation Summit (GMIF2026) concluded in Shenzhen, co-hosted by the Shenzhen Memory Industry Association (SMIA) and the School of Integrated Circuits at Peking University, under the theme 'The Future Built on AI Memory and Storage.' As AI shifts from training to large-scale inference, tokens are becoming a unit of value, making memory and storage bandwidth, capacity and energy efficiency key to system performance and cost. Morgan Stanley's Daniel Yen projected that more than half of cloud data center capex will go to memory and storage (excluding HBM) by 2027, and identified six paths to overcome the 'memory wall.' Speakers from Peking University, Samsung, Sandisk, Solidigm, Arm and Silicon Motion said HBM remains central to high-end AI but is constrained by yield, cost and thermal limits, pointing to NAND-based high-bandwidth options, tiered storage and liquid cooling. The summit also highlighted that value-chain collaboration is becoming a deeper partnership built around workload requirements and joint scenario validation.

- Is TC Energy (TRP) a Good or Bad Investment at Today's Multiple?
TC Energy trades at 21.19 times next year's expected earnings, closing at $61.74 on October 16 after a 1.5% return over 6 months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The company operates natural gas transmission pipelines across Canada, the United States and Mexico, plus power generation, with a 44.25% operating margin, and latest-quarter earnings rose 18.00% on revenue up 5.70%. The article flags risks including debt at 170.37% of equity, the loss of crude oil pipelines to South Bow in 2024, and volumes that depend on North American gas demand from power and LNG exports. A 4.01% yield is cited as income while the market decides whether the stable business justifies the multiple relative to its growth.
- Should You Buy This Trump AI Stock Ahead of Earnings?
Microsoft (MSFT) reports quarterly results on October 28 and ranks eighth in Trump's latest stock portfolio, after Trump bought the stock five times in August. Bulls point to Azure growth of 43% last quarter, with management expecting about 45% in the current quarter, and to demand that exceeds available computing capacity. Bears cite rising capital spending that Deutsche Bank says could push free cash flow close to breakeven in fiscal 2027, about two-thirds of spending going to short-lived equipment such as chips, and OpenAI making up about 45% of the commercial backlog in the December quarter. The stock trades at 26.75 times forward earnings, a 27% premium to the sector median of 21.01 but 12% below its own five-year average of 30.47, with a PEG ratio of 1.70 versus a sector median of 1.14. The article concludes that investors pay more than for the average tech stock but less than they usually pay for Microsoft.
- What Is Williams' (WMB) Economic Moat, and Is It Steel or Permits?
Williams (WMB) closed at $71.28 on October 16, with a 0.5% return over 6 months, compared with 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article argues its main advantage is the Transco pipeline, which runs from the Gulf Coast up the eastern seaboard, where several attempts to build new pipe have been abandoned after failing to win approvals. A 39.54% operating margin and 21.50% return on equity are cited as evidence of this advantage, although revenue rose only 7.80% last quarter. Limits noted include debt at 200.37% of equity, rules that also restrict Williams' own growth, and a price of 26.81 times expected next-year earnings. The dividend yields 2.95%.
- Marvell Jumps 6% as GF Securities Says Google Chip Delay Won’t Dent Its Position; Broadcom Rises 3%
Marvell shares rose 6% to $241.27 in afternoon trading after a reported delay in Google's next TPU chip, while Broadcom gained 3%. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu said the delay does not change Marvell's medium- to long-term position in Google's chip supply chain. Marvell reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.74 billion, up 36.5% YoY, with its Data Center segment at $2.17 billion, or 79% of revenue. Google can acquire up to 7% of Marvell shares under a warrant tied to revenue targets, and management expects its custom business to more than double in fiscal 2028. Q3 revenue guidance is $3.15 billion, plus or minus 5%, with non-GAAP gross margin of 57.5% to 58.5%, and the article notes Marvell still needs to convert its Google programs into reported revenue.
- Is ONEOK (OKE) Cheap at 14 Times Next Year’s Earnings?
ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) closed at $93.31 on October 16 and returned 11.4% over six months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index. The stock trades at 14.49 times next year's expected earnings and yields 4.59%, and revenue rose 52.80% last quarter as the company grew through acquisitions. The article argues that much of this growth was bought rather than built, with only 13.25% of revenue remaining as operating profit and debt at 143.07% of equity. Because a large part of the business involves buying and reselling liquids rather than earning transport fees, the article views the discount as having a reason behind it. It concludes that investors should watch margins rather than revenue.
