What's Going On With Marvell Technology Stock On Wednesday?
The move marks Marvell's progress towards an open and interoperable CXL ecosystem, which will address the growing demands for memory bandwidth and capacity in next-generation cloud data centers.
Marvell tapped AMD and Intel to extensively test Structera CXL products with AMD EPYC and 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platforms across various configurations, workloads, and operating conditions.
Rising Tide Of AI Is So Strong That Semiconductor Optical Industry Projects $30 Billion Total Addressable Market By 2029
The results demonstrated seamless interoperability, delivering stability, scalability, and high-performance memory expansion that cloud data center providers need for mass deployment.
The first-quarter semiconductor earnings procession kicked off with ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) last Wednesday and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:TSM) on Thursday.
For U.S. chip vendors, BofA Securities analysts Vivek Arya and Duksan Jang expect first-quarter results to beat as their original outlook was likely conservative and tariff-related pull-ins created a better demand environment. However, the second-quarter outlook could be in line as companies could widen the guidance range.
Marvell stock plunged over 55% year-to-date. Marvell's exit from the auto space follows its October quarter restructuring, where it began shifting investments away from enterprise networking, carrier infrastructure, and automotive.
The company is now focused on AI and accelerated computing, a theme JPMorgan's Harlan Sur sees as key to unlocking long-term value.
Price Action: MRVL stock closed higher by 6.22% to $53.77 on Wednesday.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Headed For September Crash? Watch Out, Analyst Warns
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Prominent analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts a correction for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and altcoins in September. What Happened: In a podcast on Aug., Cowen warned of a steep September correction across digital assets, citing historical post-halving patterns where July–August strength often flips into September weakness. He drew parallels to 2013, 2017, and 2021, when Bitcoin corrected sharply after summer rallies. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Cowen expects Bitcoin, which peaked near $124,000 this cycle, to mirror the 2020 run-up when $12,400 marked a temporary high. He said BTC has been "basically flat since early July," with price action echoing prior cycles. According to him, Bitcoin now has "a date with the 20-week SMA or 21-week EMA" taking it close to its bull market support band of $110,000–$115,000. On Ethereum, Cowen sees a brief push to new all-time highs before Bitcoin turns lower, after which ETH could tumble 20–30%. He added that altcoins will suffer deeper 30–50% drawdowns, as liquidity rotates back into BTC Next: Cowen flagged macro risks, warning the Fed's likely September rate cut could spark higher bond yields, just as in 2023, accelerating the selloff. He noted recent PPI data shows inflation "running hotter than expected," further pressuring markets. When the Fed cuts more than likely in September, there's a really good chance that the 10-year yield will likely go up. This mirrors September 2023 when Fed cuts "basically marked a low for the 10-year yield." Bitcoin: ~6% drop to support. Ethereum: 20–30% decline after topping. Altcoins: 30–50% crash.

Nvidia, AMD to give the U.S. 15% of China their chip sales
Nvidia and AMD are reentering China's AI-chip market — by writing checks to the U.S. Treasury. To resume selling AI-capable chips such as the H20 and MI308, which were caught in Washington's tightening net of semiconductor restrictions earlier this year, the two companies have reportedly agreed to hand over 15% of their China revenue to the U.S. government in exchange for export licenses. The news is an export-policy twist that nobody saw coming: an arrangement that doesn't come with new specs or a quota but instead comes with a price tag that could add up to billions in revenue for the government. The deal was first reported by The Financial Times , and U.S. officials confirmed the news to Reuters . They haven't said whether the 15% cut will be skimmed off at the point of sale or collected later, or where it will be allocated once it lands in the Treasury Department's coffers. For both companies, the deal comes because China is simply too important to write off. Last year, Nvidia booked roughly $17 billion from the market — about 13% of its total revenue. AMD leaned in even harder, pulling in $6.2 billion, nearly a quarter of its sales. But the export ban imposed by the Trump administration in April put both companies on the defensive, with Nvidia taking a $5.5 billion write-down on stranded H20 inventory and warning of billions in lost sales. AMD flagged $800 million in inventory-related charges and projected a $1.5 billion revenue hit for the year, with gross margins taking as much as an 11-point knock. Those hits showed up fast in the quarterly numbers. AMD's second-quarter revenue jumped 32% year-over-year to $7.7 billion, but the lift came from gaming and PC chips. The data-center unit — home to its AI lineup — grew 14% to $3.2 billion, but performance was blunted by the MI308 ban. Gross margin fell to 43%. Nvidia hasn't yet reported a full quarter under the new restrictions, but a similar hit is expected, even as the company continues to outperform expectations. A rule shift this summer changed everything. In July, the Commerce Department began issuing licenses for the H20 — clearance that arrived after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with President Donald Trump in Washington. AMD followed close behind with a license for its MI308. The new licenses don't restore pre-ban margins — every $1 billion in China chip sales now means $150 million off the top for Nvidia and AMD — but they replace a total freeze with a steady, if slimmer, stream. Behind the scenes, the Commerce Department is grappling with its worst export‑license backlog in over 30 years, delaying approvals and raising risks for U.S. exporters. The move is unusual in the history of U.S. export controls, which have typically been blunt instruments — either an outright ban or a technical downgrade to meet performance caps. This is the first time Washington has publicly tied access to a direct revenue share, a model that could be replicated in other sectors where the U.S. controls choke-point technology. Chinese state media have already reacted with suspicion . Doubts about the H20's safety, environmental standards, and alleged backdoor capabilities have been amplified following the deal with the U.S. government, which Nvidia has denied. Right now, the company is working on China-specific chip variants, including a downgraded H20 with lower memory capacity for export compliance, and it's exploring a Blackwell-based GPU for China that is expected to arrive later. Huang, however, has said that he wants to ship more advanced chips to Beijing . AMD, meanwhile, has been more tight-lipped about any China-only product plans. For now, Nvidia and AMD are making the same calculation that it's better to take a 15% haircut on billions in sales than to hand the entire market to any foreign rivals. Whether business deals like this one become a one-off fix or a fixture in U.S. trade policy, the message is blunt: If Washington controls the gate, it can charge admission — and the world's most valuable chipmakers will pay to get through.

Trump targets corporate America to achieve economic and foreign policy goals
He didn't campaign on it. It wasn't even broached during his first administration. He criticized his predecessor for it. But this month President Donald Trump made clear that he's willing to use the full force of the US government to directly intervene in corporate matters to achieve his economic and foreign policy goals. Trump, backed by his team of Wall Street financiers, took the unprecedented step of seeking to collect a portion of money generated from sales of AI chips to China by Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. And in a move that could see the US government become Intel Corp.'s largest shareholder, the administration is said to be in talks for taking a 10% stake in the beleaguered chipmaker. Last month, the Pentagon also decided to take a $400 million preferred equity stake in a little-known rare earth mining company. It's a series of moves that has surprised Wall Street and Washington policy veterans, who privately and publicly acknowledged they've never seen anything like it in their decades-long careers. The actions, if successful, could leave private investors and average 401(k) savings holders enriched while catapulting US national security further ahead of China. But they're also risky bets that could end with taxpayer losses and distort markets in ways investors can't predict. "I'm very concerned that we're going to have these rolling sectors where the president starts saying 'you have to pay us just to sell internationally,'" Lee Munson, the chief investment officer at Portfolio Wealth Advisors, with $390 million in assets under management, said. "Where does this end? I don't even know how to buy companies right now that have exposure to China that have high-tech IP." The Trump administration's direct involvement in corporate matters is becoming a marker of the president's second term. Trump, a self-described dealmaker, has a mixed track record of success yet has vowed to bring more of a business approach to governing in Washington. In addition to the Nvidia and AMD revenue promise and potential Intel investment stake, his administration secured the "Golden Share" from Nippon Steel Corp., a Japanese steelmaker that gives Trump personal power to make decisions on United States Steel Corp. corporate decisions. In these cases, the administration is picking winners and losers, and risks undermining the free flow of capital. "The Trump administration's focus on industries like steel, semiconductors, and critical minerals is not arbitrary – these sectors are critical to our national and economic security," White House spokesman Kush Desai said in an emailed statement. "Cooled inflation, trillions in new investments, historic trade deals, and hundreds of billions in tariff revenue prove how President Trump's hands-on leadership is paving the way towards a new Golden Age for America." Trump surprised markets earlier this month when he announced Nvidia and AMD agreed to pay the US government 15% of their revenue from AI chip sales to China. The move rankled investors, trade experts, lawmakers and others who feared a much broader slippery slope in which the federal government could begin forcing pay-for-play scenarios in everything from trade negotiations to defense contracts. Word that the White House is contemplating using Chips Act money to take a direct stake in chip-maker Intel added to the uncertainty around changing norms between private sector companies and the US government. The move could provide a much-needed boost to Intel's ambitious plan for a sparkling new chips facility in Ohio, which is vital to rebuilding domestic chip production in the US but which has been delayed amid shrinking sales and mounting losses at the company. SoftBank Group Corp. agreed this week to buy $2 billion of Intel stock in a surprise deal. 'Chinese model' In America's free market economy, the government typically doesn't buy stakes in companies. There are exceptions, of course, such as during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, when it stepped in to support major names like Citigroup Inc., American International Group Inc. and General Motors Co. While Intel has performance issues to grapple with, it isn't facing the imminent threat of collapse. That's in part why investors, lawmakers, national security experts and others interviewed repeatedly referred to "uncertainty" and "uncharted territory" when asked to contemplate the risks associated with Trump's new policies. "It's state direction that we haven't had in the US, it's very much the Chinese model making its way into US government," Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said. The Trump administration's approach to public companies in the first year of his second term is in some ways an evolution of the economic statecraft tools he deployed in his first four years as president. Back then he deployed trade levers that hadn't been used in years or decades, from Section 301 tariffs on entire countries, like China, to Section 232 tariffs on sectors like steel and automobiles. The policies weren't popular and they rattled markets, but supporters argued that the tariffs tamped down Chinese and other foreign products that flooded the US market and drove some American companies out of business. Trump has continued to push the boundaries of using novel tools in his second administration. "What we see here is when it comes to big economic questions like tariffs and fees for exports and also the MP Materials deal, he is willing to push legal boundaries on big economic issues in a way that he wasn't in the first term," said Peter Harrell, a nonresident scholar for the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Caitlin Legacki, a former Commerce Department official in the Biden administration, said an argument in favor of "national champions" is understandable, however a "lack of transparency" around the deals in concerning. "Instead of making this a cause for national security or technological independence that people from both parties can rally around, it feels more like a shakedown," she said.
