Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
Major averages jumped on Friday but still logged weekly losses, with the Dow down 2.3%, the S&amp;P 500 falling 2%, and the Nasdaq losing 1.8%. 
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday was overshadowed by its revised 2025 inflation forecasts and Jerome Powell&#8216;s cautious stance, dampening hopes for deeper cuts next year. Powell emphasized a "new phase" of monetary policy after a 100-basis-point reduction in 2024, signaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/12/42629219/fed-cuts-interest-rates-but-powell-spoils-santa-claus-rally-dollar-surges-to-over-2-year-high-bitcoin-sinks-below-100000-this-week-in-the-market">only gradual easing in 2025</a>.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had reached a record $108,388 before the Fed meeting, fell below $100,000 as markets absorbed the news.

Shares of semiconductor companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

The stock market edged lower by midday Tuesday as investors treaded cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">decision scheduled for Wednesday.</a>
Although a rate cut appeared widely priced in—with Fed Funds futures assigning a 96% probability—investors are fully focused on the Fed's forward guidance and Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s remarks, particularly in light of recent robust economic data.
November's retail sales data showed an unexpected rebound, rising 0.7% month-over-month, surpassing expectations of 0.5%. On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, the fastest pace since December 2023, driven by strong auto sales growth.
Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions following reports that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing launched an investigation into Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) declined 1.5%, weighed down by sharp losses in major chip stocks. Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) dropped over 5%, while Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) plunged over 8%.
By midday, the major U.S. indices were in negative territory. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6%, and the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.4%.
Both the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields remained steady, reflecting cautious positioning by institutional investors.
In commodities, gold dipped 0.3%, while natural gas and oil prices fell 2% and 1%, respectively, signaling continued weakness in the energy sector.
Cryptocurrencies continued to outperform. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 1.3% to surpass $107,000, reaching a market capitalization of $2.13 trillion. The total cryptocurrency market value rose to $3.68 trillion, a new record high.

Stocks Slip Ahead Of Fed Meeting, Chipmakers Suffer From China's Threat, Bitcoin Spikes Above $107,000: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Wall Street began Tuesday&#8217;s session on a weaker note, with major indices slipping after November's robust retail sales report reignited investor concerns that the Federal Reserve might hold back interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">rate cuts next year. </a>
The data, which underscored resilient consumer spending heading into the holiday season, added a fresh layer of uncertainty to the Fed's future rate path ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s highly awaited December Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Retail sales surged 0.7% last month, outperforming consensus estimates of a 0.5% increase and marking a notable acceleration from October's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42529956/november-retail-sales-soar-to-11-month-highs-indicate-strong-holiday-season">upwardly revised 0.5% gain. </a>
On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, hitting their fastest pace since December 2023. A significant portion of the strength came from auto sales, which soared 2.6% on a monthly basis and by a robust 6.5% year-over-year, highlighting consumers' willingness to make big-ticket purchases in the fourth quarter of the year.
Spending was also robust in other categories. Nonstore retailers, driven by e-commerce activity, posted a 1.8% monthly gain, reflecting the growing dominance of online shopping as the holiday season commenced. Sporting goods, hobby, and book stores registered a 0.9% uptick, showing steady demand for discretionary items.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Pressure Builds On Equities</h3>
The stronger-than-expected data put equity markets under pressure, as investors recalibrated their expectations for the Fed's next moves. 
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – and Dow Jones Industrial Average both fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – slid 0.8%, weighed down by weakness in the chip sector. 
Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions after reports surfaced that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing opened an investigation on U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Face Fed Uncertainty</h3>
The robust retail sales data is the latest in a series of reports—alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/12/42460477/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-in-november-cast-shadow-on-further-disinflation-progress">hotter-than-expected inflation prints</a> and upbeat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">December Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys</a>—that challenge the case for aggressive rate cuts next year.
While a 25-basis-point reduction at the Fed's policy meeting this week is widely anticipated, the central bank's outlook for 2025 remains in question.
Fed fund futures now suggest an 80% chance the Fed will hold rates steady at its January meeting, while expectations for a March rate cut have softened, with odds slipping to 58% from 60% a day earlier.
Betting-implied odds from CFTC-regulated Kalshi continue to suggest an elevated 92% probability of four cuts next year, yet financial markets now imply only three rate cuts.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Marvell Tech

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.

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.

Why Marvell Technology (MRVL) Stock Hit A New 52-Week High

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.

Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) surged 11.3% to $121.33 on Friday, buoyed by Broadcom&#8217;s robust earnings and optimistic AI growth projections, which highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42488220/broadcom-hits-1-trillion-milestone-the-next-magnificent-tech-giant">vast opportunities</a> in the custom chip (ASIC) market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is MRVL A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
Wall Street analysts view Marvell Technology on the whole as a Outperform, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Christian Schwab from Craig-Hallum in Marvell Tech is the most optimistic, expecting a 50.0% rise in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, Marvell Tech rose 61.12%, which indicates that opinion improved on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 6.84% over the past year.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Dec. 13:
Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>): The social media and messaging company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which is likely related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42369266/meta-reddit-stocks-climb-record-highs-as-tiktoks-battle-against-us-ban-continues-after-court-ruling">continued fight to ban</a> TikTok in the U.S. 
Snap and TikTok social media rivals such as Facebook, Instagram and Reddit could benefit if the app is banned. TikTok lost a fight with the U.S. appeals court recently with parent company ByteDance facing a deadline of Jan. 19, 2025, to sell the U.S. arm to a non-Chinese owner or face app stores removing the platform in America. 
While this could be good news for Snap, the ban is far from over with ByteDance continuing to fight and also concerns that President-elect Donald Trump could halt the ban when he takes over the White House. Snap and other social media platforms are also being targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237670/meta-tiktok-snapchat-could-face-32m-fines-as-australia-enforces-social-media-ban-for-under-16s-while-exempting-youtube">in several countries </a>and states over age restrictions on usage of the platforms, which could push the stock down further.
Snap stock was down on the week, as shown on the Benzinga Pro chart below. The stock is down 30% year-to-date in 2024.

Vertiv Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>): The critical power and infrastructure company saw strong interest from readers during the week. 
Bank of America analyst Andrew Obin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42072226/vertivs-earnings-estimates-raised-by-analyst-amid-improved-margin-outlook">recently reiterated a Buy</a> rating with a price target of $150 on the stock. The analyst said the company revised its organic revenue growth forecast to 12%-14% CAGR for 2024 to 2029, up from prior guidance of 8%-11%. Other analysts have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VRT/analyst-ratings"> added their takes</a> on the company recently with Barclays initiating shares with an Equal-Weight rating and $142 price target and Citigroup maintaining a Buy rating and raising the price target from $141 to $155.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="993" height="506" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134111/Screenshot-270.png" alt="" class="wp-image-692034" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134111/Screenshot-270.png 993w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134111/Screenshot-270-300x153.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134111/Screenshot-270-768x391.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px" /></a></figure>
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>): The scientific instrument manufacturing company saw increased interest from readers during the week. 
The stock, which previously was featured on the Stock Whisper Index<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39551432/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet"> in June</a>, saw an analyst upgrade send shares higher on the week. Bank of America upgraded shares from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $290. The analyst said strategic partnerships and pricing could help drive future growth. 
Danaher reported third-quarter financial results in October with earnings per share and revenue each beating Street forecasts. The company has beaten analyst estimates in more than 10 straight quarters for both revenue and earnings per share. Fourth-quarter earnings are estimated to be in January, which could be a future catalyst for the stock.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="508" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271.png" alt="" class="wp-image-692035" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271.png 995w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271-300x153.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271-768x392.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px" /></a></figure>
Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>): The semiconductor stock is trading higher on the week, which comes with peers reporting results and less than two weeks after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42302752/marvell-technology-stock-climbs-after-better-than-expected-q3-results-strong-q4-guidance"> reported third-quarter</a> financial results on Dec. 3.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) stock surged Friday after it reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42484676/nvidia-amd-taiwan-semi-and-other-chip-stocks-gain-as-broadcoms-q4-sparks-sector-wide-surge" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter adjusted EPS</a> results and raised its quarterly common stock dividend.
The company reported a topline of $14.05 billion, up from $9.3 billion, compared to the analyst estimate of $14.57 billion. EPS of $1.42 missed the analyst consensus of $1.46.

Broadcom expects first-quarter revenue of ~$14.60 billion, almost in line with the $14.61 billion consensus estimate.
Multiple Wall Street analysts rerated the stock after the print:
<ul>
<li>Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained Broadcom with a Buy and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVGO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $240 to $250</a>.</li>
<li>B of A Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated Broadcom with a Buy and raised the price target from $215 to $250.</li>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur maintained Broadcom with an Overweight and raised the price target from $210 to $250.</li>
</ul>
Rosenblatt: Broadcom came in with a slight beat on continued AI and networking momentum and some VMWare first-quarter pushouts. Non-AI dynamics continue to demonstrate modest cyclical recovery.
The Street will pivot on management&#8217;s disclosure of the line-of-sight AI serviceable available market (SAM) at its current custom ASIC (XPU) 3 hyperscaler customers of $60 billion—$90 billion by 2027, up from the $15 billion—$20 billion level in 2024.
Interestingly, Broadcom has two new potential engagements that could eventually match the size of the current three.
The AI 3-year outlook supports the ~60% CAGR of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) TAM of $500 billion for the 2027 and 2028 timeframes.
Management implied strong prospects for maintaining AI custom ASIC leadership and share gains over Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs.
Broadcom already has working custom ASIC 3nm silicon that will ship this Spring, well ahead of anybody in the market.
While custom ASIC sister Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) is also in the 3nm race, it is roughly a year behind Broadcom. Mosesmann&#8217;s fiscal 2025 revenue and adjusted EPS estimates remain unchanged.
B of A Securities: The rerating reflects Broadcom&#8217;s expanding custom-chip (ASIC) AI, surging AI opportunity, and potential to maintain a position at large wireless customer Apple.
Near-term results were inline, though the pushout of some software deals from the fourth to the first quarter helped Broadcom guide the first quarter inline versus concerns of missing due to seasonal headwinds, the analyst said.
Arya projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $61.1 billion (prior $59.3 billion) and EPS of $6.27 (prior $6.00). He expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $70.2 billion (prior $68.5 billion) and EPS of $7.50 (prior $7.31).
His forecast implies a growth trajectory of about 15% sales and 20% EPS over the next three years across a diversified silicon and infrastructure software base.
Based on Broadcom&#8217;s leading capabilities and IP in leading-edge logic, networking, memory, and interface design, Arya projected its AI sales to grow from $12 billion in the current year to about $30 billion by calendar 2027.
However, Arya noted an upside to a 30% EPS CAGR towards $11-$12/share by calendar 2027, assuming AI sales get to $53 billion instead, based on Broadcom maintaining its current 70% share of a larger $75 billion SAM.
There could be further upside since, per Broadcom, the stated range is only for its current three customer&#8217;s &#8220;line-of-sight&#8221; intention to each build 1 million unit custom accelerator (XPU) clusters requiring an 80% and 20% mix of compute and networking.
JP Morgan: Broadcom delivered solid fourth-quarter quarterly results on continued strong sequential growth in its AI semiconductor segment, which offset lower software revenues.
For the first quarter, Broadcom guided revenues in line with consensus expectations and better than market expectations on sustained strong AI demand and software revenue acceleration.
The fiscal 2024 AI revenues were $12.2 billion, up 3 times year-on-year. Sur expects them to grow to $17 billion-$18 billion (+40% Y/Y) in fiscal 2025, given continued strong cloud and hyperscaler capex spending trends with a focus on AI infrastructure build-out and second-half ramp of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s next-gen TPU v6 3nm AI accelerator ASIC.
More importantly, Broadcom expects the AI SAM opportunity for its three existing cloud/hyperscalers to accelerate, driven by continued substantial investments in multi-generational XPU road maps and larger cluster sizes.
Even applying a more conservative market share assumption, Sur noted that Broadcom&#8217;s AI business is growing at a 40%- 50%+ revenue CAGR over the next several years.
In the near term, despite a product handoff from the TPU v6 inference chip at 5nm to the TPU v6 training chip at 3nm, Broadcom is still guiding for sequential growth in its AI revenues for the first quarter.
The TPU v6 3nm training chip will likely move into a high volume ramp in the second half of next fiscal year, and this one SKU Sur noted can drive $8 billion+ for Broadcom in fiscal 2025.
Given its portfolio breadth, diversification, and product cycles, Broadcom continues to drive a stable revenue growth profile even during macro volatility. Broadcom generated strong free cash flow for the year, which resulted in an 11% dividend increase.
Sur projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $62.7 billion and EPS of $6.50.
Price Action: AVGO stock is up 19.7% at $216.20 at last check Friday.

Marvell Technology shares are trading higher after the company announced the debut of its LPO chipset to address the speed and reach limitations of data centers.

Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Wednesday. The company disclosed the general availability of a 200G-per-lane optimized <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42423694/marvell-introduces-1-6-tbps-lpo-chipset-to-enable-optical-short-reach-scale-up-compute-fabric-inte" rel="noreferrer noopener">transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and laser driver chipset</a>.
This innovation enables 800 Gbps and 1.6 Tbps linear-drive pluggable optics (LPO) and addresses next-generation short-reach, scale-up compute fabric connectivity needs.
Marvell&#8217;s 1.6 Tbps LPO chipset, a key addition to its interconnect portfolio, is tailored to optimize data center infrastructure utilization and performance while minimizing cost and power per bit.
The chipset enhances Marvell&#8217;s interconnect portfolio, which includes PAM4 optical DSPs, coherent DSPs, data center interconnects, Alaska A active electrical cable (AEC) DSPs, and Alaska P PCIe retimers, providing an optimized optical solution for short-reach compute fabric connections.
Xi Wang, vice president of product marketing for Optical Connectivity at Marvell, said, &#8220;Marvell 1.6 Tbps LPO TIA and laser driver chipset is designed to address the growing demand for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnect solutions, where passive copper cables are hitting a wall.&#8221;
&#8220;As AI-driven data centers continue to scale, optimizing interconnect solutions across each layer of the network is becoming increasingly critical. The new LPO chipset complements and expands our industry-leading 1.6 Tbps connectivity portfolio, to address the growing spectrum of interconnects that cloud operators are seeking to optimize.&#8221;
&#8220;LPO has been a technology in search of the right solution. By optimizing chipsets for short, inside-the-rack connections, Marvell brings clarity and focus to LPO,&nbsp;delivering it in a more compelling and scalable manner,&#8221; said&nbsp;Alan Weckel, co-founder of 650 Group.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXQ#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) and&nbsp;Segall Bryant &amp; Hamill Trust Segall Bryant &amp; Hamill Select Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USSE#NYSE">USSE</a>).
