Marvell Tech Unusual Options Activity

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI-driven market</a> surge has hit troubled times and JPMorgan analyst Jason Hunter is telling investors to be cautious.
Recent bear gaps in AI stocks have cracked short-term trend support, leaving tech darlings like Nvidia Corp (NVDA), Broadcom Inc (AVGO) and Marvell Technology Inc (MRVL) looking vulnerable. 
But before VOO investors start sweating, there&#8217;s a silver lining: the broader market, and by extension the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO), remains well-anchored.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Stumble Vs. The Broader Market Picture</h2>
Tech stocks have been leading the charge, and their weight in the S&amp;P 500—over 37% of VOO's holdings—means any AI sector shake-up has ripple effects. 
NVDA stock, for instance, is fighting to hold key support near $114, while AVGO stock eyes a rebound from the $180-$186 range, per Hunter. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), a key barometer for AI and chip stocks, has lost 7.54% in just five days. While that signals near-term pain, Hunter points out that longer-term support levels remain intact.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What This Means For VOO Investors</h2>
VOO, a favorite among passive investors, is designed for broad-market exposure. Unlike concentrated tech plays, it absorbs volatility better thanks to diversification. Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Apple Inc (AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) may feel the tech squeeze, but financials, healthcare and consumer staples act as stabilizers.
JPMorgan's take? While AI stocks may struggle to regain immediate footing, they're approaching key support levels, likely forming a multi-week or multi-month trading range rather than a prolonged downturn.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stay The Course Or Shift Gears?</h2>
Short-term traders might see this as an opportunity to hedge, but for long-term VOO investors, the playbook remains unchanged: stay the course. 
VOO's resilience comes from its balanced exposure to 500 of the biggest U.S. companies, smoothing out sector-specific dips. If AI rebounds as expected, VOO holders will benefit without needing to time the market.
The bottom line? 
AI may be wobbling, but VOO investors have little reason to panic. The ETF's broad-market strategy keeps it on solid ground, making short-term volatility a mere blip in the bigger picture.

In the midst of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI&#8217;s rapid transformation</a>, BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya sees a significant opportunity for NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>).
These companies are positioned at the heart of what Arya refers to as AI&#8217;s &#8220;Sputnik moment,&#8221; drawing an analogy to the Cold War era when the U.S. ramped up its efforts after the Soviet Union's surprise launch of Sputnik into space.
In this context, DeepSeek's rise in AI is seen as a catalyst for an even bigger wave of investment and BofA's analyst believes the hyperscalers and semiconductor companies will reap the rewards.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;DeepSeek: More Evolutionary Than Revolutionary&#8221; – But A Wake-Up Call For AI Investment</h1>
Arya is not overly impressed by DeepSeek's software contributions, as they are more about &#8220;evolutionary&#8221; progress rather than a &#8220;revolutionary&#8221; shift in AI. Still, the implications for the semiconductor space are clear. While &#8220;DeepSeek&#8217;s contributions are noteworthy,&#8221; they don&#8217;t represent a drastic change in course for the industry. 
However, they do accelerate AI capex investments, especially in &#8220;AI compute TAM toward $500bn+&#8221; over the next several years.
For Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell, the timing couldn't be better.
These companies are already in a prime position, supplying essential hardware for AI infrastructure. Arya maintains a Buy rating on all three, emphasizing that the &#8220;rising tide should benefit all&#8221; as the AI compute market expands significantly.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Role of Hyperscalers, AI Hardware</h1>
One of the core insights Arya highlights is that the U.S. hyperscalers (tech giants like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google, and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) will continue to drive much of the AI spending in the coming years. These companies will push toward &#8220;artificial general intelligence (AGI)&#8221; and broader enterprise use cases. The key to their success will be investing not only in &#8220;software&#8221; but also in &#8220;advanced hardware.&#8221;
This is where Nvidia, Broadcom, and Marvell come in, offering both the hardware capabilities and adaptability to meet the ever-evolving needs of AI workloads.
Arya forecasts the total AI compute market to &#8220;double towards $500bn+&#8221; by 2028, a growth driven by the need for large-scale model training, AI inference, and cloud infrastructure upgrades. As the race for AI dominance continues, &#8220;U.S. hyperscalers&#8221; will remain at the forefront, driving the bulk of this spending.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Rising Tide Should Benefit All&#8217;</h1>
Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell are all expected to benefit from this surge in demand. With DeepSeek&#8217;s AI software optimization now part of the broader landscape, it's clear that the hardware side of the equation — &#8220;ASIC versus general purpose GPU&#8221; — will continue to evolve.
Custom ASICs (like those from Broadcom and Marvell) offer cost efficiencies, but &#8220;merchant GPU (NVDA) could prove more adaptable to rapidly changing compute and model mix.&#8221;
For investors, the message is clear: These companies are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing AI infrastructure market. With AI compute TAM expected to rise to &#8220;$500bn+&#8221;, BofA sees the current downturn in the sector as an &#8220;enhanced Buy opportunity.&#8221;

Why Nvidia, Broadcom, Marvell Are This Analyst's Top AI Bets In 'Sputnik Moment'

Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore maintains Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $120 to $113.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Equal-Weight on Marvell Tech, Lowers Price Target to $113

DeepSeek's latest AI model, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/01/43243584/deepseek-r1-vs-openai-what-consumers-need-to-know-about-ais-latest-challenger">R1, is making waves</a>—not just for its performance but for the existential questions it raises about AI chip demand. 
The company claims its training costs were a mere $5.6 million, a fraction of what frontier foundation models demand. 
Naturally, investors are wondering: if AI can be trained this efficiently, does that mean the industry&#8217;s chip-buying frenzy is about to cool off?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jevons Paradox Strikes Again</h2>
JPMorgan's Harlan Sur isn't hitting the panic button. Instead, he points to history—where efficiency gains in computing have paradoxically driven more demand, not less. 
From x86 virtualization in the 2000s to ARM Holdings PLC's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) dominance in mobile, every step forward in computing power has led to a proliferation of use cases that need more chips, not fewer. The same could happen here: DeepSeek's efficiency might not curb AI chip demand but rather accelerate the adoption of AI, pulling forward the need for high-performance semiconductors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Custom Silicon Could Be the Winner</h2>
DeepSeek's low-cost efficiency doesn't just raise questions—it also opens opportunities. Sur believes that hyperscalers and cloud providers will keep pushing for greater AI capabilities, but they won't just rely on off-the-shelf GPUs. Custom-built ASICs—where companies like Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) thrive—could see an uptick as cost and power performance become critical differentiators.
Despite lingering uncertainties around DeepSeek's exact cost structure and reliance on open-source models, one thing remains clear: AI innovation never slows down—it only fuels further breakthroughs. 
Sur reiterates his bullish stance on Broadcom, Marvell, and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), emphasizing that the race for AI dominance is far from over. If history is any guide, this is just the beginning of the next wave of semiconductor demand.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Triggered The Selloff?</h3>
DeepSeek is the culprit. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-">Hangzhou, China-based AI startup</a> launched a new model that poses a challenge to U.S. competitors, including Nvidia's core business. 
DeepSeek's open-source AI model has already surpassed ChatGPT in downloads on Apple's app store, leaving the AI market in awe. Industry experts like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen called this moment a &#8220;Sputnik moment&#8221; for U.S. AI companies as this could be a ground-breaker in the AI space, reported Reuters.
The market's reaction was swift. Nvidia&#8217;s stock, a major player in the AI space, dropped nearly 17.65%, taking along semiconductor stocks like Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) in the ride south. 
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), which tracks semiconductor stocks, also plummeted by 8.39%, experiencing its worst day since the pandemic-led selloff in March 2020.

A wild selloff rattled tech stocks on Monday, striking at the heart of AI optimism as China&#8217;s DeepSeek startup unveiled an open-source large language model platform that outperforms OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43239042/magnificent-seven-broadcom-lose-nearly-900-billion-in-value-as-deepseek-sparks-ai-carnage-why-this-expert-is-still-bullish-on-us-tech">fraction of the cost. </a>
The shockwave hit U.S. markets hard, raising fears over intensifying AI competition just as companies pour heavy investments into the new technology. 
The elite Magnificent Seven stocks collectively shed about $600 billion in market value, with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) alone erasing $450 billion, or 15% of its valuation. The AI powerhouse is on track for its worst single-day loss since March 18, 2020.
The Nasdaq 100 tumbled 3%, eyeing its steepest drop since Dec. 18, when hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell rattled markets. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) plunged over 7%, also eyeing its worst session since the pandemic-driven selloff of March 2020.
Chipmakers took a beating, with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) both crashing 17.5%, while Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) sank 11%.
As panic spread, investors sought refuge in safe-haven Treasury assets. Treasury yields slid, with the 10-year yield falling 7 basis points to a one-month low. The U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTEN#NASDAQ">UTEN</a>) rose 0.7%. 
The tech turmoil even bled into crypto markets, dragging Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) back below $99,000. The world's largest cryptocurrency lost $110 billion in market cap within hours as risk-off sentiment took hold.

Tech Stocks Tumble On AI Nightmare, Nvidia Eyes Worst Day Since March 2020, Bitcoin Drops Below $100,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

U.S. tech stocks are crumbling like dry sand in premarket trading Monday as Chinese open-source artificial intelligence platform DeepSeek R1 sparks investor fears over AI competition and capital allocation into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43221806/nvidia-amd-broadcom-smci-tsmc-and-other-tech-giants-lead-monday-pre-market-selloff-as-nasdaq-100-futures-plummet-over-650-points-amid-reports-of-chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-overtaking-chatgpt">high-cost American firms.</a>
Futures on the Nasdaq 100 plunged 4% as of 8:00 a.m. ET, setting the stage for their worst session since September 2022. 
Semiconductor stocks, the backbone of AI development, are bearing the brunt of the selloff, with AI darling Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) plunging 12%, potentially eyeing its worst day since March 18, 2020.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) is down 4.5%, with heavy losses also hitting Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), down 13%, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), down 11%, and Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), down 9.5%.
AI infrastructure and data center stocks are also seeing steep declines, with GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) plummeting 14%, Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) both sliding 11.5%, and Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) falling 10%.
The S&amp;P 500 is not immune to the fallout, with futures on the index falling 2.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is inching 0.8% lower due to its smaller exposure to tech. 
With AI stocks leading market gains over the past year, today's rout threatens to wipe out $1.2 trillion in market capitalization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DeepSeek: A Game-Changer In AI?</h3>
DeepSeek R1, an open-source AI model, is reportedly rivaling top U.S. AI models at a fraction of the cost, leveraging lower-power NVIDIA chips to bypass U.S. export restrictions.
&#8220;DeepSeek has produced a large language model that rivals many of the leading U.S. offerings. And they've done it at a fraction of the cost, using less powerful chips,&#8221; said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation.
Investors are now questioning whether AI software firms can sustain their pricing models. 
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh highlighted that OpenAI charges $200 per month for its premium subscription, raising doubts about its pricing power if open-source alternatives offer similar or superior performance at a significantly lower cost.
&#8220;How do you justify that cost if an open-source platform does it better?&#8221; Singh said.
With billions in capital expenditures planned for 2025-2027, any shift in corporate spending could redefine the trajectory of AI investing.
&#8220;I don't think they are walking back on 2025 capex,&#8221; Singh added, dismissing the idea that companies would scale back investments immediately.
The AI frenzy that has propelled the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks to record highs is now facing its biggest test. With major U.S. tech earnings due this week, investors are demanding answers.
&#8220;If the Mag-7&#8217;s Q4 earnings disappoint, these seven stocks could drag the S&amp;P 500 down significantly since they account for a whopping 30.5% of the market cap of the index,&#8221; warned Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chinese Stocks To Watch</h3>
In a note on Sunday, Goldman Sachs analyst Ronald Keung highlighted that DeepSeek's breakthrough could lower barriers to entry in AI, paving the way for increased global competition. 
&#8220;We believe increasingly agile Chinese models and significant improvement in computing cost efficiencies could drive further room for wider adoption, exploration, and proliferation of AI applications,&#8221; Keung said.
He also indicated the potential for Chinese AI firms to expand their influence, pointing to companies like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), China's largest cloud provider, and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), which has deep AI integration within its WeChat ecosystem.
According to Keung, also data centers GDS Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDS#NASDAQ">GDS</a>) and Vnet Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNET#NASDAQ">VNET</a>) are expected to &#8220;benefit from ongoing public cloud and AI computing demand growth from multi-year higher AI adoption.&#8221;

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Qorvo, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) stock is moving higher on Friday following a Wall Street Journal report revealing that activist investor Starboard Value has acquired a 7.7% stake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43048211/qorvo-soars-7-after-hours-as-activist-investor-starboard-reportedly-takes-stake-in-semiconductor-company">in the company</a>.
The Details: The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/starboard-builds-big-stake-in-chip-maker-qorvo-7a18a71f">report</a> values the stake at about $500 million. Since the report, Qorvo has filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission, confirming the activist investor's investment in the company.
Qorvo&#8217;s stock has struggled in recent months, sliding 22.15% over the past three months. The chipmaker has faced strong competition from competitors such as Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
The company&#8217;s latest investor, Starboard Value, has remained active in the semiconductor sector, with past investments in companies like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), highlighting a potential strategic focus that may extend to Qorvo.
Qorvo&#8217;s stock suffered in late October after the company issued third-quarter guidance that fell below analyst estimates. It projected adjusted earnings per share between $1.10 and $1.30, versus analyst estimates of $1.92, and revenue between $875 million and $925 million, versus analyst estimates of $1.05 billion.
The company is set to release third-quarter earnings on Jan. 28 after the market closes. Qorvo will host a conference call to review its earnings at 4:30 p.m. EST that same day.

What's Going On With Qorvo Shares Friday?

Marvell Technology shares are trading higher after Barclays raised its price target on the stock from $115 to $150.

Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis maintains Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $115 to $150.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Marvell Tech, Raises Price Target to $150

Activist investor Starboard Value LP has reportedly acquired a 7.7% stake worth approximately $500 million in Qorvo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) on Thursday, targeting the struggling semiconductor manufacturer for potential operational changes.
What Happened: The stake, led by Starboard CEO Jeff Smith, comes as Qorvo faces mounting challenges in the radio frequency chip market, reported the Wall Street Journal, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/starboard-builds-big-stake-in-chip-maker-qorvo-7a18a71f">citing</a> sources. 
The Greensboro, N.C.-based company&#8217;s shares have declined nearly 28% over the past year amid intensifying competition from rivals like Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>).
The investment represents a return to familiar territory for Starboard, which previously held a position in TriQuint Semiconductor before its 2014 merger with RF Micro Devices to form Qorvo. The activist firm has maintained a strong presence in the semiconductor sector, with past investments in NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>).
Qorvo&#8217;s recent performance has worried investors, with the company&#8217;s shares tumbling after missing Wall Street&#8217;s quarterly projections. CFO Grant Brown acknowledged these challenges in October, citing weaker demand for premium smartphones and announcing factory consolidation efforts to improve profitability.
Qorvo did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The chip maker, currently valued at approximately $7 billion, has struggled to maintain its market position as consumers shift toward entry-level Android devices. Wall Street analysts maintain a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QRVO/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $97.65, though recent assessments from Goldman Sachs, Mizuho, and Loop Capital suggest more modest expectations with an average target of $77.

Starboard&#8217;s investment in Qorvo adds to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41419988/tylenol-listerine-maker-kenvue-under-activist-spotlight-with-starboard-value-stake-overhaul-ahea">recent string of activist positions</a>, including stakes in Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KVUE#NYSE">KVUE</a>), and Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>).
Price Action: Qorvo surged 7.08% in after-hours trading to $78.80 on Thursday. The stock closed at $73.59, down 0.77% on the regular trading session, and has fallen 27.43% over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
