U.S. Stock Earnings — Marvell Technology (MRVL) FY2026 Q3 (March 6)

• [High Risk] Persistent margin pressure from custom silicon — If custom silicon accounts for over 50% of revenue, overall gross margin could fall below 57%, negatively impacting valuation multiples. • [High Risk] Customer concentration — Top three customers (Amazon/Google/Microsoft) account for over 60% of data center revenue; any adjustment to a single customer’s plans would have a major impact. • [Medium Risk] Cyclical nature of AI capital expenditures — Should hyperscalers slow AI investment in 2027–28, growth could decelerate sharply. • [Medium Risk] Competition — Broadcom is more mature in the custom silicon space; NVIDIA is developing its own networking chips; AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx strengthens its FPGA positioning. • [Low Risk] Acquisition integration — Technical integration and talent retention following the acquisitions of Celestial AI and XConn will require time.

Meta Earnings Preview: An AI Giant Meeting Expectations

Meta has entered its earnings season and is scheduled to release its second-quarter results after market close on Wednesday, July 26. Meta’s performance this year has been extraordinary, delivering a year-to-date return of 147%—the second-best among S&P 500 constituents, surpassed only by NVIDIA. Over the past 12 months, the company has undertaken sweeping reforms, including large-scale layoffs, shifting focus away from the metaverse, launching a new VR headset, and most recently introducing Threads—a direct competitor to Twitter. Just weeks ago, Threads launched explosively, amassing 100 million registered users in record time. At that moment, some Twitter users complained about outages on the Twitter app. However, according to The Wall Street Journal, user engagement with Threads has since plummeted by 70%. Fortunately for Meta, it still commands a portfolio of widely used social media applications, serving billions of users globally. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also remained highly visible in the media this year, engaging in public sparring—online, in business circles, and even potentially in person—with Tesla’s Elon Musk. The two tech titans have teased a cage match at some point this year, though it remains unconfirmed. Since its inception, Meta—and Zuckerberg himself—have experienced wild emotional swings: investors and the public often oscillate between admiration and skepticism. Yet, over the long term, Meta’s cash flow and growth trajectory have remained robust. With 3 billion cross-platform users, Meta is well positioned to deliver substantial returns to investors over the coming years. Even after its sharp rally this year, we believe the stock remains fairly valued—and thus represents an attractive opportunity for investors. Artificial Intelligence Development With 3 billion users across its platforms, Meta possesses unprecedented access to data, unlocking vast potential use cases for AI. Zuckerberg recently announced Meta will open-source its AI codebase, believing this will empower enthusiasts and developers to build a rich ecosystem. This approach differs from competitors Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL), both of which have moved aggressively ahead—especially Microsoft, which invested in OpenAI and launched ChatGPT.
