Bitcoin Hits New All-Time Above $107,000, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Follow Higher As Traders Target $115,000 And More

Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) shares are trading higher by 15.8% to $125.30 since Friday&#8217;s open. The stock is likely being bolstered by Broadcom's impressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42488220/broadcom-hits-1-trillion-milestone-the-next-magnificent-tech-giant">earnings report</a> from last week and its upbeat projections for AI growth, which underscored the immense potential in the custom chip (ASIC) market.
Both companies are major players in developing ASICs tailored for hyperscale AI infrastructure, essential for data centers supporting advanced AI workloads and the proliferation of generative AI models.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42507758/whats-going-on-with-soundhound-ai-stock">What&#8217;s Going On With SoundHound AI Stock?</a>
What Happened: Broadcom last week revealed its AI-related revenue is set to grow from $15-$20 billion in 2024 to $60-$90 billion by 2027, driven by surging demand from hyperscalers like Google.
While Broadcom leads in deploying 3nm ASICs, Marvell is well-positioned to benefit from this trend, serving overlapping customers with a complementary portfolio of custom chips and networking solutions critical for AI cluster performance.
The AI market&#8217;s rapid expansion, with Broadcom projecting a 40%-50% annual growth rate in AI revenues, validates strong demand for ASIC technology. Marvell&#8217;s expertise in high-speed data transport and networking, which connects compute nodes in AI systems, aligns it with this momentum.
Investors might see Marvell as a natural beneficiary of the growing AI serviceable available market, as it strengthens partnerships with hyperscalers and accelerates its own next-gen ASIC roadmap.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MRVL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Marvell Tech &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Marvell Tech, which is trading at $124.6 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.8 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MRVL has a 52-week high of $126.12 and a 52-week low of $53.19.

Digital Brands Group Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 10%

Improvement in Financial Condition Allows Focus on Revenue Growth
Austin, TX, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Brands Group, Inc. ("DBG") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBGI#NASDAQ">DBGI</a>), a curated collection of luxury lifestyle brands, is pleased to provide an update to its shareholders regarding recent activities and future initiatives for growth as detailed below.
Benefits to Net Income and Shareholder Equity
The Company has made notable progress since May of 2024 in improving its financial condition, including through the elimination of $5.2 million in convertible notes, other debt, and aged accounts payable.
Due to the elimination of interest expense from the above, we believe the Company's interest expense will decline by approximately $2.7 million a year from an estimated $3.1 million in fiscal year 2024 to an estimated $420,000 in fiscal year 2025. This should result in a net benefit of approximately $2.7 million in fiscal year 2025 to net income and cash flow.
Most importantly, the company has come to a transition point regarding the elimination of the overhang in our shareholder equity associated with our prior acquisitions, as shown in the table below. The Company has experienced an estimated negative $42.3 million in net income expenses and shareholder equity over the last three years as shown in the table below, associated with interest expense and goodwill amortization and write-downs.
We believe these expenses over the next two years will only be $2.5 million.

 Additional Benefits to Net Income
In addition to the interest expense and goodwill amortization and write-downs noted above, the Company also reduced its general and administrative expenses by approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of 2024 versus the second quarter of 2024.
The Company aims to continue to achieve additional savings in general and administrative expense associated with reductions in workforce, severance payments ending at year end, reduction of stock option expenses, and lower consulting and legal fees.
Marketing Growth Initiatives
Due to the reduction in debt, aged accounts payable and interest expense noted above, the Company is focusing on investing in growth marketing initiatives, including recent announcements highlighting the Company's digital marketing results.
Due to the recent success of these results as previously disclosed, we have developed the additional growth initiative targets listed below.
October 2024
We increased wholesale prices by 20% for Sundry, which we believe will result in approximately an additional $500,000 or more in gross margin dollars during fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.
November 2024
Partnered with VaynerCommerce, a leading digital agency, which led to a 224% increase in daily digital revenues during the 45 day period (October 22nd, 2024 to December 5th, 2024) versus the prior 45 day period from September 6th to October 21st, 2024, as noted in our press release last week.
Partnered with LTK, a large influencer platform, which resulted in the recent launch of influencer videos for each our brands. Our products that were featured all sold out. We now have over 200 influencer requests per brand on the LTK platform.
December 2024
Announced launch of our brand Avo on TikTok Shop and TikTok Live starting in January 2025, featuring Tik Tok influencers and limited-edition product.
February 2025
We plan to launch Sundry product online only exclusives with direct-to-consumer pricing, which is expected to create an attractive product price point. This initiative is driven by Sundry's high online engagement and click through rates, which we believe will result in even higher conversion rates at lower price points.
March 2025
We plan to launch Sundry on TikTok Shop and TikTok Live.
Spring/Summer 2025
We plan to partner with two to three major influencers or celebrities for each brand with the assistance of VaynerCommerce.
Summer/Fall 2025

Digital Brands Group Provides Shareholder Update; Says Improvement In Financial Condition Allows Focus On Revenue Growth; Shares Company Plans For 2025

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) had a rocky year. While semiconductors at large posted historic gains through 2024&#8217;s first half, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40754938/semiconductor-etfs-take-a-beating-dragged-lower-by-nvidia-amd-and-broadcom-stocks">erased much of their gains</a> in the late summer and fall. One industry analyst is optimistic about the industry&#8217;s prospects in 2025.
The Semiconductor Analyst: Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya named six of his top semiconductor picks for 2025:
<ul>
<li>NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a price target of $190.</li>
<li>Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) with a price target of $250.</li>
<li>Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) with a price target of $140.</li>
<li>Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) with a price target of $92.</li>
<li>ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) with a price target of $90.</li>
<li>Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) with a price target of $365.</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/12/42511580/microchip-technology-faces-multiple-headwinds-heading-into-2025-turns-analyst-bearish">analyst also downgraded</a> Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>).
The AI Boom: Arya cited Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell as the leaders in AI. He says Lam Research&#8217;s capital expenditures will recover in 2025 along with the reduction of China headwinds. The analyst also thinks ON Semiconductor will recover from cyclical trends while Cadence Design will benefit from its resiliency.
The analyst sees the semiconductor industry&#8217;s upcycle lasting into 2025. He noted that past bullish cycles have lasted, on average, roughly 10 quarters, while current bullishness has only lasted five quarters.
Arya sees two major trends affecting the industry in 2025.
&#8220;In the first half, we expect the AI investments driven by AI training and scaling of models to continue, doubling down on the Nvidia Blackwell deployment ramps driven by cloud customers,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;At the same time, we expect trends for non-AI end markets to remain weak throughout 1H.&#8221;
Arya expects the CHIPS Act, enacted under President Joe Biden, to remain in place following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. He expects all remaining funding to be dispensed in 2025.
The analyst sees the automotive and industrial industries as fueling semiconductor demand in the year&#8217;s second half.
&#8220;In the second half, we expect a pickup in auto/industrial semis as customer/channel inventories normalize (replenishment + easy comps), as well as a pickup in global auto production,&#8221; Arya said.
The analyst projected electric vehicle sales to reaccelerate 29% year-over-year.

401(k) Balances Soar
The numbers tell a powerful story. By the end of Q3 2024, the average 401(k) balance climbed to $132,300 – an impressive 23% increase compared to last year. If your balance is above this, you're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39510803/average-401-k-balances-fall-short-across-all-ages-many-over-50-barely-have-enough-to-buy-a-new-c">ahead of the curve</a>. But even if it's not, don't stress – steady contributions and long-term planning make all the difference.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
What's driving this record-breaking growth? A mix of strong market performance and consistent saving habits is paying off for diligent investors.
Market Growth Fuels Retirement Accounts
The stock market has played a significant role in pushing balances higher. Here's how major indexes performed this year:
• Nasdaq: Up 31% year-to-date
• S&amp;P 500: Gained 27%
• Dow Jones Industrial Average: Rose over 16%
This momentum has been a game-changer for 401(k)s. But while the market's growth has been impressive, it's not the only factor driving these gains.
Consistent Saving is Key
Savers are showing remarkable discipline. The average total savings rate held steady at 14.1%, with employees contributing 9.4% and employers adding another 4.7%. These consistent contributions and employer matches create a foundation for significant long-term growth.

Long-Term Savers See the Biggest Payoff
The results are extraordinary for those who've stuck with their plans for 15 years or more. Fidelity reports that savers with this level of commitment have an average balance of $558,300. Gen X savers in this group are doing even better, with an average of $586,100.
Even through market fluctuations, staying invested has delivered massive rewards for long-term participants.
The 401(k) Millionaire Club is Growing
Another standout stat? The ranks of 401(k) millionaires are expanding. As of Q3, the number of accounts with over $1 million increased by 9.5%, reaching 544,000. These savers typically have:
<ul>
<li>An average balance of $1.616 million</li>
<li>Roughly 26 years of consistent contributions</li>
<li>A savings rate of about 17% of their income</li>
</ul>
It's a clear reminder that consistent decades-long effort can produce extraordinary results.

It's Not Just About 401(k)s
The growth extends beyond traditional 401(k)s:
403(b) balances climbed to $119,300, up 23% year-over-year.
IRA balances rose by 18%, reaching an average of $129,200.
These trends show that strong markets and smart saving habits benefit retirement savings.

Shares of several quantum computing companies, including IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>), Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>) and Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), are trading higher Monday as excitement builds around the quantum computing sector. Here&#8217;s what<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/"> you need to know.</a>
What To Know: IonQ shares are up by more than 25% at the time of writing. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42464390/quantum-computing-innovation-ionqs-ion-trap-on-display-at-nyse">showcased its ion trap technology</a>, which forms the foundation of IonQ's quantum computers.  IonQ also discussed go-to-market partnerships and commercial momentum in the quantum space at Q2B24 last week.
IonQ has also secured notable contracts, such as a $54.5 million deal with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and partnerships with the South Korean government and Zapata Computing in recent months. This visibility potentially boosts investor confidence in the quantum sector as a whole, increasing interest across the industry.
Quantum Computing shares are up by more than 60% on Monday. The company recently announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42434413/whats-going-on-with-quantum-computing-stock-today">second purchase order</a> for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry from the University of Texas at Austin. 
The collaboration supports advanced research into chip-scale acoustic and cross-domain microsystems using Quantum Computing&#8217;s scalable TFLN processes, highlighting the technology's potential in next-generation photonics, signal processing and quantum applications. Fulfillment of the purchase order is expected in the first quarter of 2025.

Additionally, Rigetti Computing's stock is on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42443727/whats-going-on-with-rigetti-computing-stock-wednesday"> rise amid continued momentum </a>in the quantum computing space. 
The rally across quantum names follows Google's recent announcement of a breakthrough quantum computing chip, "Willow," which achieves significant error reduction and performs computations exponentially faster than traditional supercomputers. 
Rigetti shares, which have surged over 600% in the past three months, have attracted short-seller attention. Citron Research recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42443727/whats-going-on-with-rigetti-computing-stock-wednesday">criticized the company's valuation</a>, calling it unsustainable and pointing to recent equity dilution. Despite valuation concerns, Rigetti shares hit new 52-week highs on Monday.
Why It Matters: The broader momentum in the quantum sector reflects growing optimism around the industry's potential to address large-scale computational challenges. Companies like IonQ, Quantum Computing and Rigetti appear to be capitalizing on the surge in interest through advancements in quantum technology, partnerships and emerging applications in fields ranging from telecommunications to defense. 
As quantum technologies advance, the commercial and practical applications of quantum computing continue to expand, likely influencing both the future of computing and the broader tech landscape.
Quantum Stocks Price Action: IonQ shares were up 25.4% at $42.41, Quantum Computing shares were up 65% at $11.06 and Rigetti shares were up 30.2% at $9.32 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
