- Marvell to buy Lumentum in all-stock deal, a massive bet on AI connectivity
Marvell said it will acquire optical component maker Lumentum in an all-stock, fixed-ratio deal with an implied enterprise value of $115 billion, aiming to meet growing connectivity demand from AI infrastructure. Each Lumentum share will be exchanged for 4.5 Marvell shares, so the deal's value will move with Marvell's share price, and it is expected to close in the first half of 2028. Chairman and CEO Matt Murphy said AI infrastructure is shifting toward optical connectivity, and the acquisition lets Marvell combine electrical and optical technologies. The move follows Marvell's multibillion-dollar purchase of Celestial AI earlier this year, and comes as its market value has more than tripled over three years. Lumentum's stock has more than doubled in 2026, while Marvell shares fell 3% and Lumentum about 4% before the bell.
- AI is breaking the search business model
In the Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen argues that AI is undermining the traditional search business as people increasingly ask AI chatbots instead of searching on Google. AI tools lack Google-style search ad revenue and belong to firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI, which affects companies beyond the AI sector. Reddit reported record earnings, yet its shares fell around 26% in early trading because search ad revenue drove less traffic to its site. Reddit is also starting to require account login to access content, fearing AI will replace it as AI models are trained on its data without payment.
- Tesla's China Problem Gets Harder to Ignore
BYD sold 490,168 new energy vehicles in October, up 11% year on year, and its overseas sales jumped 102.8% to 170,194 vehicles. Xiaomi delivered more than 50,000 vehicles and XPeng delivered 50,237, up 19.6% year on year, with both posting record or near-record results. Tesla's retail sales in China fell 11.9% in the first nine months of 2026 to 381,088 vehicles, and its global third-quarter deliveries dropped 2% to 486,532. Tesla has relied more on exports from its Shanghai factory, which rose 115% from January through August and made up about 51% of its China wholesale sales. BYD overtook Tesla as the world's largest EV seller in 2025, with 2.26 million vehicles against Tesla's 1.64 million.
- Oracle files to sell $20 billion in new stock, bonds to finance AI buildout
Oracle filed plans to sell $10 billion in common stock and $10 billion in senior notes, totaling $20 billion, to fund its AI infrastructure buildout, according to an SEC filing. The fundraising was outlined at the company's investor day last week, but shares fell 3% in premarket trading. Oracle said the proceeds will go to general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, debt repayment and future investments.

- Apple Earnings Put New CEO John Ternus in Focus
Apple is set to report results, with investors focused on whether new products and AI plans can offset rising component prices. It will be the first earnings call for CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook in September, and attention will be on holiday-quarter guidance, the AI strategy, updated Siri, and higher memory-chip costs. Ternus oversaw launches including the first foldable iPhone, a smart home hub and first touchscreen laptops, which began shipping in the current fiscal first quarter. Analysts expect earnings growth to slow, possibly to its lowest level in six quarters. Apple recently regained the title of most valuable publicly listed company at about $5.03 trillion, ahead of Nvidia at over $4.93 trillion.
- We're buying the dip in a stock after an expectations reset
Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is buying 40 Boeing shares at about $173.23, raising its holding to 660 shares and its weighting to about 3% from 2.75%. Boeing fell 10% after CEO Kelly Ortberg gave a multiyear free cash flow outlook below expectations, citing lower commercial-jet deliveries and higher capital expenditures for a next-generation Navy fighter jet contract. Analysts had expected about $10 billion of free cash flow in 2028, but management pushed that target back to 2029. The author sees the reset as achievable and likely beatable, and credits Boeing with giving multiyear visibility for the first time in years after progress on culture, supply chain and trust. The Max 7 and Max 10 have now been certified by the FAA, and deliveries on a key part of the $612 billion commercial backlog are set to begin next year.
