Summary · why it matters

Marvell Technology's data center business reached a record $2.17 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, up 46% year over year and 18% sequentially, and accounted for 79% of total company revenues. The data center end market made up 74% of Marvell's fiscal 2026 revenues, and the company expects data center revenues to grow approximately 60% in fiscal 2027. Marvell reported strong demand for 800G optical DSPs while its 1.6T products ramp rapidly, and scale-out switching is expected to more than double in fiscal 2027 on broader adoption of its 51.2T switch products. The company expects its custom business to accelerate in the second half of fiscal 2027 and more than double year over year in fiscal 2028, driven by XPU and XPU-attach solutions, with an expanded hyperscaler agreement covering AI inference accelerators, storage controllers, network interface controllers, memory interface controllers and near-memory compute. Marvell also expanded its position in next-generation AI infrastructure through its relationship with NVIDIA, including NVLink Fusion, scale-up switching and silicon photonics, and introduced products such as the 102.4 Tbps Teralynx T100 switch. Marvell shares have gained 170.3% year to date, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2027 earnings suggests year-over-year growth of 48%.

Cramer Says Broadcom Has More Orders Than Almost Anyone But NVIDIA

Jim Cramer said Broadcom CEO Hock Tan told him demand for AI compute infrastructure remains extremely strong and durable, with the custom chip designer holding more orders than almost anybody other than Jensen Huang. Cramer's remarks on CNBC center on whether Broadcom can keep capturing custom AI chip orders, and the third quarter earnings released on September 2nd support the growth narrative, with revenue up 86%, AI semiconductor revenue up 221%, and fiscal year 2026 guidance implying 186% annual AI revenue growth. Tan reaffirmed that Broadcom could pull in $115 billion in annual AI chip sales in 2027 and $230 billion in 2028. Still, the fiscal fourth quarter guide left investors wanting more, with $34.8 billion in revenue missing analyst estimates of $35.03 billion and gross margin guided at 73%, a five point annual drop due to a higher mix of XPU sales. Estimates suggest 71% of Broadcom's fiscal 2027 and 2028 XPU deployment could rely on OpenAI and Anthropic, meaning a huge portion of orders might come from firms now calling for a slowdown in AI development. In Q2, 170 out of the 1,006 funds tracked by Insider Monkey held a stake in Broadcom, a slight drop from 163 out of 1,022 funds in Q1, with notable exits including Third Point and Two Sigma Advisors, and the stock trades at a forward P/E ratio of 18 versus NVIDIA's 23.42.

Nvidia Commits $6.5 Billion to Photonics as AI Optical Market Eyes Ninefold Growth

Nvidia has committed at least $6.5 billion to photonics companies over the three months prior to May 2026, including $500 million to Corning for advanced optical connectivity solutions and $2 billion each to Lumentum, Coherent and Marvell, according to CNBC. The impact has been significant, with Marvell shares gaining 183.4% year to date, while Lumentum, Corning and Coherent have advanced 142.5%, 68.8% and 60.3%, respectively. Goldman Sachs projects the total addressable market for optical networking to grow from roughly $15 billion in 2026 to about $154 billion by 2028, a more than ninefold increase. Adoption of co-packaged optics is expected to accelerate starting in 2027, reaching roughly 20% to 30% penetration by 2028, while Mordor Intelligence estimates the global photonics market will reach $1.46 trillion by the end of 2026. Investors seeking diversified exposure can consider the Roundhill Photonics & Optics ETF LYTE, with $254.2 million in assets under management across 19 holdings; the KraneShares Photonic and Optical ETF LUMA, with $9.76 million in net assets; and the Tema Photonics & Optical ETF LAZR, with $94 million in net assets across 27 companies.

Jim Cramer Calls Selling Arm Holdings Early a "Big Mistake" as Stock Sits 46% Below June High

Jim Cramer said selling Arm Holdings early was a "big mistake," noting on the September 16 episode of Mad Money that the stock has fallen 46% from its June high of $452 to just under $244. Arm's fiscal first quarter 2027 results showed total revenue of $1.29 billion, up 22% year over year, with royalty revenue up 22% to $715 million and licensing revenue up 23% to $574 million, while data-center royalties more than doubled and the company posted a non-GAAP operating margin of 41% and $665 million in non-GAAP free cash flow. Management expects Q2 FY27 revenue of $1.38 billion with a $50 million margin of error, non-GAAP operating expenses of about $780 million, and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $0.47 with a $0.04 margin of error, with results due by November 4. The stock trades at around 110x forward earnings, and short interest stood at 11.52% of the public float as of August 31, while 52 hedge fund portfolios held a stake in the second quarter, up from 46 in the prior period. Cramer argued that panicking over steep pullbacks in dominant tech leaders is a losing game, calling short-term drops buying opportunities for patient investors given Arm's royalty growth and tight supply.
