Shares of Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) were trading lower on Wednesday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43799268/cadence-design-systems-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-very-well-positioned-to-benefit-from-ai-shares-slide-on-soft-guidance">upbeat fourth-quarter results</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Piper Sandler On Cadence Design Systems
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61387715a3c6b90001ec2bda/clarke-jeffries">Analyst Clarke Jeffries</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $318 to $328.
Cadence Design Systems reported fourth-quarter revenues at $1.356 billion, representing 27% year-on-year growth and beating the midpoint of guidance, Jeffries said in a note. The company's non-GAAP operating margins of 46.0% and earnings of $1.88 per share were also higher than the guidance midpoints, he added.
Cadence Design Systems ended 2024 with a record backlog of $6.8 billion, "driven by broad-based strength across all businesses and AI tailwinds to the product portfolio," the analyst wrote. While the 2025 revenue guidance of $5.180 billion missed consensus of $5.23 billion, the revenue assumptions "could rise as the year progresses," he further stated.

Stifel On Cadence Design Systems
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad935ab85e930001f97192/ruben-roy">Analyst Ruben Roy</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $350.
Cadence Design Systems delivered fourth-quarter results that were "above consensus across all key metrics," Roy said. Management expects no growth in China revenue in 2025 "due to a lack of visibility into the macro and geopolitical environment," he added.
The midpoints of their full-year sales and adjusted earnings guidance of $5.18 billion and $6.70 per share came below consensus estimates of $5.23 billion and $6.80 per share, respectively, the analyst stated. Cadence Design Systems typically begins the year with a conservative guidance and may raise it as the year progresses, given "continued robust design activity across broad markets and recent hardware momentum, coupled with record backlog," he further wrote.
Needham On Cadence Design Systems
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Analyst Charles Shi</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $325.
Cadence Design Systems reported record backlogs of $6.8 billion, implying more than $2.5 billion of net bookings in the fourth quarter, Shi said. "Management partly attributed the bookings strength to a few large deals," with companies like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), he added. &nbsp;
"The average contract duration is extended to the high end of the historical range of 2.4 to 2.6 years, likely due to the large contracts skewing the average," the analyst wrote. Management expects bookings activity to decelerate and backlogs to decline in the first half of 2025 before renewals in the back half of the year, he further stated.
CDNS Price Action: Shares of Cadence Design Systems were down 11.6% to $265.45 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Marvell Tech

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares have seen a significant surge, climbing 24.70% in the past five days and 20.59% since the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings release on Jan. 3rd. This analyst has dismissed negative speculation surrounding the stock, pointing to strong fundamentals and saying that the recent jump &#8220;is an easy one.&#8221;
What Happened: Intel is pinning its hopes on a return to profitability by 2026, after highlighting progress on its advanced 18A process node during its recent earnings call. The 18A node, featured in upcoming launches like Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest, is Intel&#8217;s most cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Patrick Moorhead, the founder, CEO, and chief analyst at Moor Insights Strategy, in an X post, said &#8220;I do believe that 18A is looking good in performance and power from a &#8216;big die&#8217; standpoint, and that yields for big die products are reasonable for this time in the cycle. A lot more work to be done, though.&#8221;
A &#8216;die&#8217; is a semiconductor chip and in the context of Intel, a &#8216;big die&#8217; refers to larger processor chips.
Apart from this Moorhead also highlighted that Intel stock was trading &#8220;below book value,&#8221; despite having &#8220;a ton of assets&#8221;. A stock is considered undervalued if its market price trades below the book value per share.
Furthermore, the analyst said that President Donald Trump&#8216;s admin could be pushing chipmakers like Nvidia Corporation (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>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) to explore Intel&#8217;s foundry.

Seeing some nonsense on &quot;why&quot; out there, but when you&#39;re trading below book value, and you have a ton of assets, this is an easy one.

Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43685791/taiwan-semiconductor-could-be-the-lifeline-intel-needs-as-rumors-swirl-of-a-us-backed-joint-venture">Rumors suggest</a> that the U.S. government could be pushing Intel into a joint venture with TSMC to boost domestic chip manufacturing, according to Baird analyst Tristan Gerra. 
TSMC would reportedly send engineers to Intel&#8217;s 3nm and 2nm plants, potentially leading to a spin-off fab unit co-owned and operated by TSMC. The new venture could be eligible for CHIPS Act funding, designed to support the American semiconductor industry.
&#8220;While there is no confirmation and potential completion of this project could be lengthy, we think this move makes sense…&#8221; Gerra noted.
Intel&#8217;s interim co-CEO, Michelle Holthaus during its earnings call held on Jan. 30 said, &#8220;Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we will strengthen our client road map with the launch of Panther Lake, our lead product on Intel 18A in the second half of 2025.&#8221;
He also expressed excitement about its progress in performance and yields, anticipating production in the second half of 2025 and highlighting the benefits of its design and process technology.
&#8220;We are also making good progress on Clearwater Forest, our first Intel 18A server product that we plan to launch in the first half of next year. All of this provides a strong foundation on which to build as we execute,&#8221; Holthaus added.
Price Action: Intel shares gained 7.34% on Thursday, reaching $24.13 per share, and advanced 0.91% after-hours.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 1.44% on Thursday. INTC has risen 19.34% year-to-date, whereas it plunged 45.39% over the last year.
The average price target among 33 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTC/analyst-ratings">analysts tracked by Benzinga</a> is $27.19 with a ‘sell&#8217; rating. The estimates range from $20 to $66 apiece. Recent ratings from JP Morgan, Stifel, and Truist Securities suggest a $21.67 target, implying a potential downside of 11.02%.

Its solutions empower the data economy and enable the data center, enterprise networking, carrier infrastructure, consumer, and automotive/industrial end markets.
Aswath Damodaran of the Stern School of Business at New York University flagged how computer chips have become part of every consumer good in the last four decades, from <a target="_blank" href="https://aswathdamodaran.substack.com/p/ais-winners-losers-and-wannabes-valuing" rel="noreferrer noopener">appliances to automobiles</a>.
He noted that semiconductor chip customers have also shifted from personal computers to smartphones, with demand emerging from automobile, crypto, and gaming companies in the last decade.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) became the first <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/19/10/14589580/apple-microsoft-battle-for-position-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-by-market-cap" rel="noreferrer noopener">trillion-dollar company</a> in 2018 as its iPhones gained traction. It is currently worth over $3.4 trillion. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hit the trillion-dollar market cap in 2024 and is currently worth ~ $ $3.2 trillion, backed by its AI processors.
Damodaran also said that data processing has emerged as a demand driver. He highlighted the potential upside of the automobile business, backed by automated driving and other enhancements.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) also reached a trillion-dollar valuation, supported by Elon Musk&#8217;s EVs and autonomous driving technology.
Reportedly, a third of the ten global companies worth <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42762874/broadcom-thrives-with-114-stock-surge-in-ai-boom-while-intel-faces-steep-decline" rel="noreferrer noopener">over $1 trillion</a> came from the chip industry, as 2024 proved immensely beneficial for the U.S. semiconductor sector.
For Marvell, China accounted for 42%- 44% of its revenue between fiscal <a target="_blank" href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=101533&amp;ref=318157157&amp;type=HTML&amp;symbol=MRVL&amp;cdn=36dc57774e0f888a3d7612adedcf3e12&amp;companyName=Marvell+Technology+Inc.&amp;formType=10-K&amp;dateFiled=2024-03-13" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 and 2024</a>, while the U.S. generated 11%- 14%.
The company reported a 7% decline in fiscal 2024 revenue after a 33% growth in fiscal 2023 due to a decrease in sales in the majority of its end markets, including data center, enterprise networking, consumer, and carrier infrastructure, partially offset by growth in the automotive/industrial end market.
The decline coincides with the slowdown in Chinese demand, which impacted the company&#8217;s gross margin, which remained at 42% in fiscal 2024 versus 50% in 2023.
Semiconductor companies have adopted organic growth strategies (e.g., investing in research and development, product innovation, and operational efficiency improvements) or inorganic growth strategies (via acquisitions, mergers, or strategic partnerships) to expand their market share.
R&amp;D consumed 32%- 34% of Marvell&#8217;s revenue between fiscal 2022 and 2024, compared to bigger rival Broadcom Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) 15%- 18%. In absolute terms, Broadcom&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.broadcom.com/financial-information/annual-reports" rel="noreferrer noopener">R&amp;D stood at</a> $9.3 billion in fiscal 2024 on revenue of $51.6 billion versus Marvell&#8217;s R&amp;D at $1.9 billion on revenue of $5.5 billion.
In relative terms, Marvell&#8217;s R&amp;D margin is comparable to that of British chip designer Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>). Arm&#8217;s fiscal 2024 <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.arm.com/financials/sec-filings" rel="noreferrer noopener">R&amp;D margin stood</a> at 61% on revenue of $3.23 billion. Still, Marvell posted a gross margin of above 40%, which is testimony to its pricing power or moat.
Marvell stock surged over 57% in the last 12 months, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-global-semiconductor-index/#overview" rel="noreferrer noopener">topping</a> S&amp;P Global Semiconductor Index&#8217;s 11%. Marvell commands an EV/EBITDA multiple of 262.5x versus Arm&#8217;s 283.1x and Broadcom&#8217;s 47.9x.
Marvell&#8217;s dividend yield is 0.20%, compared to 1.00% for Broadcom or 0.5% for Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Marvell&#8217;s inorganic growth strategies include mergers and acquisitions. On October 5, 2021, Marvell completed the acquisition of Innovium, Inc., a provider of networking solutions for cloud and edge data centers, for $1.0 billion. On April 20, 2021, Marvell completed the acquisition of Inphi, a provider of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/20/10/18135863/marvell-confirms-merger-with-chipmaker-inphi-to-create-40b-entity" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-speed data movement</a> enabled by optical interconnects, for $9.9 billion.&nbsp;
Marvell&#8217;s operating cash flow, net of capital expenditures, helped it generate $1.02 billion in free cash flow as of February 3, 2024, compared to $1.07 billion in 2023 and $632 million in 2022.
Excess cash flows above capex help a company pay dividends and/or buyback shares, thereby adding to shareholder value. A company may also use the surplus funds for acquisitions and debt repayment to fuel growth.

He expects Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) vendors like Marvell and Broadcom (which hit the trillion dollars market cap in 2024) to bag over a 10%-15% share of the overall accelerator market as Nvidia GPUs dominate with their 80%+ share.
JPMorgan&#8217;s&nbsp;Harlan Sur noted that Marvell is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42859614/jpmorgan-sees-marvells-ai-revenue-surge-with-2-billion-run-rate-in-networking-by-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">well-positioned to</a> significantly exceed its previous AI target of $2.5 billion in calendar 2025.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Marvell Tech's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Marvell Tech's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.38%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

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

JPMorgan analysts Claudia Hueston and Pedro Martins just dropped a major AI ripple effect report, and the verdict is clear: DeepSeek's latest LLM is shaking up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the tech hierarchy</a>.
With the promise of slashing training and inference costs, some companies stand to gain big, while others might be in for a rough ride.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winners: The AI Powerhouses</h2>
The bullish camp — tagged under JPMorgan's DeepSeek Positive Impact — is a who's who of AI titans and cloud leaders. Alphabet Inc (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>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) top the list, unsurprisingly, given their AI ambitions.
But the wave also lifts Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) — all crucial to AI infrastructure. Even software players like Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Databricks rival Confluent Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) and GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) look poised to benefit from AI-powered cost efficiencies.
The key theme? AI is moving from experimental to execution mode, and companies that enable inferencing and data management stand to gain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Losers: The Hardware Setback</h2>
On the flip side, JPMorgan's DeepSeek Negative Impact list puts companies like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) in the danger zone. With cheaper and more efficient AI models, legacy hardware players could see slower demand for expensive, high-power training chips. 
Even industrial giants like Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Cummins Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) might take a hit if AI-driven automation undercuts traditional heavy machinery investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: AI's Next Economic Shift</h2>
While hyperscalers are still throwing money at AI hardware, DeepSeek's disruption could eventually tilt the value proposition toward application-layer innovation. 
Companies that enable seamless AI adoption—think Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)—could see an acceleration in demand, while those overly reliant on expensive, legacy infrastructure may need a strategy refresh.

JPMorgan Picks Winners, Losers After DeepSeek Debut: How Alphabet, Amazon, Intel And Oracle Rank

BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya maintained a Buy rating on Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $190</a>.
Nvidia is Arya&#8217;s top pick ahead of the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings call scheduled for February 26. Given the Blackwell product transition and China restrictions, the analyst expects a modest beat, inline sales guidance, and lower gross margin in the first quarter.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43382010/samsung-q4-earnings-12-revenue-growth-closes-gap-with-apple-in-premium-phones-eyes-ai-powered-growth-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">Samsung Q4 Earnings: 12% Revenue Growth, Closes Gap With Apple In Premium Phones, Eyes AI-Powered Growth In 2025</a>
However, the call could mark the trough in investor sentiment as Arya expects Nvidia to reassure on Blackwell execution, signal confidence around fiscal 2026 and calendar 2025 with 60%+ growth in data center sales, and create excitement ahead of the flagship GTC Conference on March 17 where focus shifts to solid pipeline (GB300, Rubin), and physical AI (robotics).
Meanwhile, Nvidia stock is trading at a compelling ~26 times calendar 2025E PE (lower end of 25-59 times, median 39 times NTM PE).
Despite DeepSeek&#8217;s supposed &#8220;revolutionary&#8221; optimizations, spending intentions at Nvidia&#8217;s large customers, including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), have remained unchanged thus far.
Nvidia is the leading platform for delivering computing, driven by frontier-model training, heading towards artificial general intelligence (AGI), derivative model training (like DeepSeek), and AI inference, where compute requirements grow 3-5 times due to newer reasoning and more accuracy models, and traditional to accelerated infrastructure upgrades.
While the mix between the four drivers could evolve, Arya noted the overall pie growing over time (~$500 billion TAM by calendar 2028 and 2029, 5 times and 2.5 times versus calendar 2024 and 2025).
From the calendar, 2018-24, performance (in FLOPS) for Nvidia processors went up 1000 times, yet its data center sales also went up 300 times, so one did not cannibalize but grew the other. Optimizations in hardware and software are key parts of computing.
Arya expects greater enforcement of the AI Diffusion rules set forth by the Biden administration. He expects rising demand from the West (US cloud, enterprise, OpenAI Stargate, etc.) to offset China&#8217;s headwinds for Nvidia.
Arya likes both GPU (Nvidia) and ASIC vendors (Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>)) on the rising tide of AI compute/networking demand but does not yet see any evidence of GPUs losing their 80%+ share and ASICs taking more than a 10%-15% share of the overall accelerator market.
Inference is becoming more, not less, compute-intensive, while Broadcom highlighted the large clusters on its last call as being used for training (where Nvidia dominates) rather than inference.
Nvidia&#8217;s consistent co-optimization of hardware and software, along with its large enterprise moat, will be tough for ASIC vendors to overtake, Arya added.
For Nvidia, Arya projected fourth-quarter revenue of $38.7 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.86.
Price Action: NVDA stock is up 2.45% at $119.52 at the last check on Tuesday.

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.

Why VOO Investors Should Keep Calm Despite AI Stock Turbulence

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.

Broadcom, Marvell Could Thrive From DeepSeek's AI Breakthrough, Analyst Predicts

WIIM

Shares of US chip stocks are trading higher after President Donald Trump suggested he would put tariffs on imported chips. The sector may also be rebounding after falling on Monday amid AI competition concerns from China.

Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, with leveraged exposure to chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">experienced a dramatic Monday</a> thanks to the debut of AI upstart DeepSeek. 
<ul>
<li>The GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDL#NASDAQ">NVDL</a>) plunged 34.55% as of writing. </li>
<li>Graniteshares 2x Short NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVD#NASDAQ">NVD</a>), its leveraged inverse counterpart designed to profit from Nvidia&#8217;s losses, soared 34.69% at last check</li>
<li>The ProShares Ultra Semiconductors ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USD#NYSE">USD</a>), which holds more than 40% of its assets in Nvidia, dropped by more than 27% </li>
<li>More broadly, the Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund, where Nvidia is the second-largest holding at nearly 15% of the portfolio, shed 4.7%.</li>
<li>The VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIS#NYSE">AIS</a>), which has only 3% of its assets in Nvidia but holds other AI stocks, lost 8.43%.</li>
</ul>
These ETFs offer the potential for amplified profits at the cost of higher-than-usual fees of around 1% and greater volatility.

<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.
As fear spread, investors flocked to safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries, leading to yields on the 10-year note dipping to a one-month low.

DeepSeek AI Model Sends Shockwaves Through Nvidia, Slams ETFs

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.
