Super Micro Computer, Gamestop, McDonald's, Monday.Com, And Tesla: Why These Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Leading economists criticized former President Donald Trump&#8216;s plan to reimpose 25% tariffs on metal imports, while U.S. steel stocks rallied sharply during Monday&#8217;s trading session amid expectations of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43583123/trump-to-announce-25-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-economist-warns-president-is-making-us-manufacturing-globally-uncompetitive">reduced foreign competition</a>.
What Happened: Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers warned the proposed tariffs would lead to &#8220;fewer American jobs, more American inflation, and probably a bigger trade deficit,&#8221; questioning potential national security benefits from tariffing allies. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I&#39;m sorry that Trump&#39;s threatened steel and aluminum tariffs have now been implemented. This will mean fewer American jobs, more American inflation and because of damage to us exports probably a bigger trade deficit. I do not see any national security gain from tariffing Canada.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Jason Furman, former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under former President Barack Obama, called the policy a &#8220;self-inflicted wound&#8221; that would raise input costs for American manufacturers.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Public policy shouldn't aim to help manufacturing. But nor should it aim to hurt manufacturing. And that is exactly what steel and aluminum tariffs do, raising input costs for American manufacturers. Not to mention raising borrowing costs &amp; the dollar. A self inflicted wound.

Steel stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">responded positively to the announcement</a>, with Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) surging 23%, while Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NYSE">STLD</a>) gained 6.52% and 5.75% respectively. United States Steel Corp.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) rose 14.1%.
The tariffs announced by Trump would apply to all countries without exemptions. The policy mirrors his 2018 measures that imposed 25% duties on steel and 10% on aluminum imports, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43583123/trump-to-announce-25-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-economist-warns-president-is-making-us-manufacturing-globally-uncompetitive">national security concerns</a>.
Market analyst Peter Schiff cautioned about broader economic implications: &#8220;Everything that American companies manufacture or build that requires steel or aluminum, such as cars, aircraft, appliances, and houses will cost more.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, noted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43583123/trump-to-announce-25-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-economist-warns-president-is-making-us-manufacturing-globally-uncompetitive">the disproportionate impact</a> on Sunday, citing that &#8220;Steel-using firms employ over 5 million Americans&#8230; Steel-intensive industries account for over 20% of U.S. manufacturing output.&#8221;
The impact could be particularly significant for U.S.-Canada trade relations. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Canada exported $11.2 billion in steel and $9.5 billion in aluminum to the U.S. in 2024. Canadian Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne emphasized the critical role of Canadian metals in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">U.S. defense and manufacturing sectors</a>.
The automotive industry, which employs 7 million Americans, could face significant challenges from higher material costs. European steelmakers, including German manufacturer Salzgitter, warned the tariffs could redirect excess global supply toward their markets, potentially destabilizing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">international trade dynamics</a>.

Trump's 25% Tarrifs A 'Self-Inflicted Wound,' Says Economist Amid Warnings Of Fewer American Jobs — Peter Schiff Says You'll Pay More For Cars And Homes

Cathie Wood, the founder of asset management firm Ark Invest, rallied around Elon Musk's idea of putting all U.S. government spending on blockchains for better transparency on Sunday.
What happened: Wood wrote, "Transparency, Efficiency, Security: Win, Win, Win," while reacting to the radical plan f<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425216/elon-musk-supports-putting-treasury-department-operations-on-blockchain-to-fix-irregularities">irst backed</a> by Musk, who is in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency, and later <a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1888352903997636897">by</a> Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

Why It Matters: Wood's backing comes in the wake of a polarizing debate over Musk's plans to get access to sensitive government systems.
The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a panel tasked with cutting wasted federal expenditure, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43419885/musks-doge-eyes-treasury-payment-system-sparks-controversy-leading-to-officials-exit">sought access</a> to the Treasury Department&#8217;s payment systems amid Musk&#8217;s allegations of government payment irregularities. However, a federal court <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43578729/court-halts-musks-doge-squad-from-gaining-access-to-treasury-payment-systems-a-risk-of-irreparable-harm">blocked the move</a>, citing the potential risk of "irreparable harm."&nbsp;
According to a live <a href="https://www.doge-tracker.com/">tracker</a>, DOGE has saved U.S. taxpayers $36.70 billion as of this writing, which is about 1.8% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43046108/musks-doge-ambitions-shrink-why-2-trillion-budget-cuts-may-be-out-of-reach">Musk&#8217;s optimistic $2 trillion target</a> set during Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign.

In October 2024, OpenAI further challenged Google by unveiling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41663190/openai-rolls-out-chatgpt-search-google-shares-slide">ChatGPT Search</a>, enabling users to access real-time information, a feature traditionally dominated by search engines.
By December, OpenAI expanded this feature to all users, including those on the free tier, enhancing its accessibility and reach.
Meanwhile, Musk, who co-founded OpenAI and then left in 2018, has reportedly made a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43609104/elon-musk-co-founded-openai-now-hes-bidding-974b-to-take-back-the-company">$97.4-billion bid</a> to regain control of the company.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Surpasses Elon Musk's X To Rank Sixth Most-Visited Website Globally — Sam Altman Says, 'Still A Long Way To Go To Run Down Google'

Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, took to X on Monday to express her disapproval of the MAGA Republicans&#8217; &#8220;tax scheme,&#8221; which she claims is designed to plunder Medicaid for the benefit of billionaires.
What Happened: Pelosi said, &#8220;Extreme MAGA Republicans revealed their tax scam to raid Medicaid to give more tax cuts to billionaires. But we can stop them! We&#8217;ve done it before — we saved Social Security in 2006, the Affordable Care Act in 2018 and we&#8217;ll stop them now to save the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221;

Pelosi said that Republicans did &#8220;something today in the Congress that is unbearable for people on Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221; The Speaker Emerita referred to cuts made in Congress to Medicaid which she claimed would fuel tax cuts for billionaires. She said that the way to stop these efforts were with &#8220;outside mobilization.&#8221; 
The Trump administration&#8217;s agenda has been stalled in Congress over the weekend as GOP hardliners want the party leaders to make deeper cuts to Medicaid, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/10/politics/gop-cuts-trump-agenda-house-senate/index.html">reported</a> CNN. Ultra-conservatives and swing-district members are increasingly at odds over Medicaid cuts.
Why It Matters: Pelosi had earlier called Medicaid a &#8220;pillar of health, security and justice&#8221; for tens of millions and claimed that Republicans were plotting to end it as it existed in its current form. She vowed to stop them.

Medicaid, a program that serves 79 million low-income or disabled Americans, has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43191852/an-existential-fight-ahead-why-trumps-medicaid-cuts-could-leave-millions-struggling-with-healthcare-costs">major target for cuts</a> under the Trump administration. The proposed cuts could mean fewer options and higher healthcare costs for many families. GOP wants to roll back the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which added 20 million people to the program over the past 11 years.
Earlier, the White House ordered a temporary freeze on all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43290381/trumps-federal-spending-freeze-puts-3-trillion-in-limbo-threatens-industries-like-clean-energy-defense-healthcare">funding under scrutiny</a>.

The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency has meanwhile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43516681/doge-gains-access-to-medicare-and-medicaid-systems-elon-musk-says-this-is-where-the-big-money-fraud-is-happening">secured access</a> to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services this month. Musk claimed that &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; was taking place at the CMS. DOGE has the mandate to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending, while the CMS spent over $1.5 trillion in 2024 and has come under attack in the past for fraudulent and wasteful spending.

Nancy Pelosi Says 'Extreme MAGA Republicans' Have Revealed Their 'Tax Scam' To Plunder Medicaid For Giving Tax Cuts To Billionaires

A surprise dinner at Morris Chang's home in 2010 set the stage for one of the most consequential business relationships in the tech industry—one that made Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) the biggest client of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMC#NYSE">TSMC</a>).
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43517209/jensen-huang-once-wrote-a-desperate-letter-to-save-nvidia-but-also-forged-a-partnership-worth-billions-with-tsmc-morris-chang-reveals-the-story">In a podcast</a>, Chang, who is regarded as the founder of Taiwan&#8217;s semiconductor industry recalled how the then Apple COO Jeff Williams arrived at his for an unexpected dinner.
The meeting was arranged by Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn, who is also the second cousin of Chang's wife Sophie.
Chang had no prior notice of Apple's interest in working with his company. Once at the dinner table, where the group had Chinese food, Williams wasted no time and expressed interest in TSMC manufacturing chips for Apple.
At dinner, Williams mentioned a 40% gross margin for TSMC, and Chang found this low since his company&#8217;s margin was already 45%. However, he chose not to debate pricing at that moment.

Apple also wanted chips built on a 20-nanometer process, while TSMC had been planning to transition straight from 28nm to 16nm. For Chang, this was an issue. As he later recalled, "A half step is a detour."
Despite his initial reservations, Chang saw an opportunity and took a calculated risk—one that required billions of dollars in investment. TSMC eventually chose to avoid cutting dividends or issuing new stock. Instead, they opted to take on debt.
In February 2011, Apple paused talks with TSMC for two months after Intel approached Tim Cook, asking to be considered as a supplier.
Chang recalled that he reached out to Apple for clarity. In a follow-up meeting, Cook assured him that Intel didn't know how to be a foundry, confirming Apple's commitment to TSMC.

TSMC and Apple also disagreed on yield rates and pricing. However, they ultimately negotiated and resolved the issues. TSMC adjusted its roadmap to produce Apple's 20-nanometer chips, delaying its 16-nanometer development but proving its reliability.
When TSMC launched 16-nanometer chips, Apple followed through on its commitment, making TSMC its primary chip supplier.

</figure>
Why It's Important: Fast forward to 2024, and Apple is TSMC's single largest customer. Supply chain data compiled by Bloomberg revealed that Apple accounts for approximately 25.2% of TSMC's annual revenue, far ahead of other tech giants.
While Nvidia Corporation is experiencing explosive demand due to the AI boom, it still trails behind Apple, contributing around 10.1% of TSMC's revenue in 2024. However, this dynamic may shift in 2025.
According to a <a href="https://money.udn.com/money/story/5612/8465417?from=edn_maintab_index">report</a> from Economic Daily News, a Chinese-state-owned news publication, Citi Securities analysts predict that Nvidia could become TSMC's largest customer in 2025, driven by its high-performance AI chips.
Estimates suggest Nvidia could account for 20% of TSMC's revenue in 2025, closing the gap with Apple. However, Bloomberg's previous projections indicate that Apple will still maintain its lead—at least for now.

DoorDash Q4 Earnings Preview: All Eyes On Annual Subscriber Figures, Order Frequency

Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time, has lived in the same Omaha, Nebraska, home since 1958. That's 67 years in one house. Purchased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41095962/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-lives-in-an-old-corner-house-he-purchased-for-32k-i-couldnt-imagine">for just $31,500</a>, the property has appreciated to an estimated $1.4 million, an impressive return of about 4,300%. But despite this, Buffett doesn't see homeownership as a guaranteed financial win. In fact, in <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2010ltr.pdf">his 2010 letter to shareholders</a>, he made it clear that a house can easily turn into a financial nightmare if buyers aren't careful.
"A house can be a nightmare if the buyer's eyes are bigger than his wallet and if a lender—often protected by a government guarantee—facilitates his fantasy. Our country's social goal should not be to put families into the house of their dreams but rather to put them into a house they can afford," Buffett wrote in 2010, at a time when homes were still relatively affordable following the Great Recession.
Don't Miss:

<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
Fast forward to 2025, and housing prices are astronomically higher, with interest rates hovering around 7% or more. The cost of buying a home has never been more daunting, yet Buffett's warning from over a decade ago still holds: if you stretch beyond your means, homeownership can be a financial disaster.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett Could Have Made More Renting—And He Knows It</h2>
Buffett has never claimed his home was his smartest investment. In fact, he has openly admitted he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39333401/warren-buffett-paid-31-500-for-1921-home-despite-the-seller-asking-52-500-its-worth-1-4-million-but">would have made far more money renting</a> and putting that cash into stocks instead. "For the $31,500 I paid for our house, my family and I gained 52 years of terrific memories with more to come," he said in 2010. But financially speaking? He could have done better.
That's a statement you don't hear often, especially in a world where buying a home is viewed as the ultimate "good investment." But Buffett's take is clear: a home is not always the best place to park your money. It provides stability, shelter, and memories, but when it comes to pure wealth-building, stocks historically outperform real estate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Take on Mortgages: The "Best Instrument in the World"</h2>
While Buffett remains cautious about overspending on a home, he is a big believer in 30-year fixed mortgages—calling them one of the best financial tools available to homeowners.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/02/27/cnbc-transcript-part-1-warren-buffett-on-buying-houses-and-the-next-berkshire-ceo.html">CNBC's "Squawk Box</a>" in 2012, Buffett stated: "If you take out a 30-year fixed mortgage and it turns out the interest is too high, next week you can refinance lower. If it turns out it's too low, the other guy is stuck with it for 30 years."
In another appearance on "<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/02/27/warren-buffett-on-cnbc-id-buy-up-a-couple-hundred-thousand-singlefamily-homes-if-i-could.html">Squawk Box</a>" in 2012, he said he'd buy up a "couple thousand" single-family homes if it were practical to do so.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/06/heres-why-warren-buffett-thinks-you-should-buy-a-home.html">He told CNBC in 2017</a>, "If you know you're going to live in a given area, or think it's very likely, for a considerable period of time and you've got a family, the home is terrific." He also added: "A [30-year mortgage] is an incredibly attractive instrument for homeowners, and you've got a one-way bet."

Buffett has long emphasized the flexibility of a fixed-rate mortgage, calling it a "one-way negotiation" that benefits the homeowner. His reasoning? If rates drop, you refinance. If rates go up, you keep your low rate. It's a win-win.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Takeaway: Buy Smart, Stay Frugal, and Don't Get Trapped</h2>
Buffett's Omaha home is proof that frugality pays off, but his larger point isn't about staying in one house forever—it's about buying responsibly. He's seen too many people overextend on a mortgage, chase their dream home, and end up struggling financially.
Even in today's high-cost housing market, Buffett's advice is simple: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">buy only what you can comfortably afford</a>, take advantage of a fixed-rate mortgage, and don't assume homeownership is always the smartest financial move.
After all, if the world's greatest investor says he could have made more money renting, maybe the real "dream home" is financial security, not a bigger mortgage.

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.
Marvell&#8217;s positive AI catalysts for 2025: OpenAI,&nbsp;SoftBank Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), and&nbsp;Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) launched a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue" rel="noreferrer noopener">$500 billion joint venture</a>, Stargate, to build AI infrastructure in the U.S.
Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) committed $80 billion for AI-driven data centers. Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&nbsp;earmarked over $1 billion for its OpenAI rival Anthropic.
BofA Securities Vivek Arya <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43570410/broadcoms-trillion-dollar-run-analyst-expects-asic-to-take-10-15-market-share-backed-by-ai-compute-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed optimism over</a> AI infrastructure providers like Marvell, which are backed by AI compute/networking demand. 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. This is backed by AI optical/copper networking products and two AI ASIC programs for&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Amazon Web Services, and&nbsp;Google.
Marvell is a holding in 200 US-traded&nbsp;ETFs. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>)

중요한 움직임으로 마이크로스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)는 나스닥 100 지수에 합류하여 지수의 대대적인 재구성을 촉발할 것으로 보인다. 이번 변경사항은 11월 29일 기준 시가총액 기준으로 12월 20일 이후부터 적용된다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 시킹 알파의 보도에 <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4740896-nasdaq-100-upcoming-index-reconstitution-could-be-a-major-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">따르면</a>, 940억 달러의 시가 총액을 가진 마이크로스트레티지의 포함은 Invesco QQQ Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NYSE">QQQ</a>)와 Invesco Nasdaq 100(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQM#NYSE">QQQM</a>)와 같은 나스닥 100 지수를 추적하는 패시브 펀드에 영향을 미칠 것이다.
이들 펀드와 Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QYLD#NYSE">QYLD</a>)은 12월 20일까지 마이크로스트레티지를 포함하도록 보유 자산을 조정해야 한다.
마이크로스트레티지의 나스닥 100 편입은 비트코인에 대한 노출을 패시브 투자자들에게 제공한다. 이 회사는 비트코인 공급량의 거의 2%를 보유하고 있다. 비트코인을 구매하기 위해 주식을 발행한 것으로 알려진 마이크로스트레티지의 전략은 지수의 역학에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253242/microstrategys-michael-saylor-calls-bitcoin-the-manhattan-in-cyberspace-says-its-an-asset-you-could-expect-to-las">마이크로스트레티지의 마이클 세일러는 비트코인을 &#8216;사이버 공간의 맨해튼&#8217;이라고 불렀으며, &#8216;1,000년 동안 지속될 자산&#8217;이라고 말했다.</a>
지수 재편성은 ETF의 회전율 증가와 잠재적인 추적 오차를 초래할 수 있으며, 이는 마이크로스트레티지의 시가 총액 증가를 반영하기 위해 포트폴리오를 재조정해야 하기 때문이다. 이러한 독특한 상황은 투자자들에게 전략적 거래 기회를 제공할 수 있다.
이것이 중요한 이유: 마이크로스트레티지의 나스닥 100 포함 가능성은 금융 시장에서의 영향력 증가를 증명하는 것이며, 특히 공격적인 비트코인 전략 덕분이다.
최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42160774/microstrategy-is-the-bitcoin-magnet-says-bernstein-but-not-everybodys-sold-nothing-is-free-in-finance-says-one-analyst">번스타인</a>은 마이크로스트레티지를 &#8220;비트코인 자석&#8221;이라고 묘사하며, 2033년까지 전 세계 비트코인 공급량의 4%를 보유할 수 있을 것으로 예상했다. 하지만 이 전략은 위험이 따르며, 일부 분석가들은 장기적인 생존 가능성에 대해 우려를 표명했다.
또한, 마이클 세일러, 마이크로스트레티지의 공동 창립자는 최근 회사가 비트코인 보유로 상당한 이익을 창출하고 있으며, 비트코인이 10만 달러에 근접함에 따라 하루에 5억 달러를 벌고 있다고 밝혔다.
이는 마이크로스트레티지 주식의 급등에 기여했으며, 주식은 올해 들어 465% 상승하여 해당 성과와 연계된 ETF에 상당한 영향을 미쳤다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42208970/microstrategy-linked-etfs-skyrocket-400-this-year-is-this-the-michael-saylor-effect">최근 보고서</a>에 따르면, 마이크로스트레티지와 연계된 ETF들은 올해 400% 급등했다.
마이크로스트레티지의 최근 30억 달러 규모의 0% 전환사채 발행은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them">투자자들의 전략에 대한 신뢰</a>를 강조한다. 이 사채는 이자가 없지만 주식 상승 참여를 허용하여 마이크로스트레티지의 비트코인 기반 성장에 대한 시장의 수요를 반영한다.
가격 변동: 비트코인은 작성 시점에 $96,776에 거래되고 있으며, 지난 24시간 동안 0.46% 상승했다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 마이크로스트레티지 주식은 금요일에 $387.47로 마감되었으며, 0.35% 소폭 하락했다. 올해 주식은 465% 상승했다.
마이크로스트레티지 주식은 &#8220;매수&#8221;라는 합의 평가를 받고 있으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41683531/michael-saylor-calls-microstrategy-the-public-equity-play-on-bitcoin-maximalism-heres-whos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro 데이터</a>에 따르면 가장 높은 목표 주가는 $690이며, 합의 목표 주가는 $449.50로 16%의 상승 여력을 의미한다.
