The U.S. gross national debt exceeded $32 trillion on June 16th for the first time. This $32 trillion threshold was achieved 9 years earlier than pre-pandemic predictions indicated, mainly to the utilization of trillions of dollars in emergency funds. The House Appropriations Committee began considering its next spending bills, and if the individual bills are not approved by the end of 2023, a 1% automatic cut will take place. Furthermore, the House Republicans started considering a new round of tax cuts, as this bill will expand the standard deduction for individual taxpayers and business tax benefits intended to promote consumer investment while minimizing energy tax credits. With these bills proceeding to be enacted, these three must-buy stocks on major deals have been centering their business around this for explosive growth. Major catalysts for these companies most likely will elevate analyst positions on them as a “must-buy.”
Marvell Technology (MRVL)
We can’t discuss must-buy stocks on major deals without mentioning Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL). This company is a leading supplier of data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, providing high-performance standard and semi-custom products. As a leader in technology markets that now require artificial intelligence (AI), Marvell has been experiencing substantial growth recently.
Due to emerging innovations in AI, the global semiconductor market is projected to grow at a 12.2% CAGR to $1,380.79 billion by 2029.
MRVL has grown 35.70% YoY due to this recent AI wave. The company’s Q1 revenue was $1.32 billion, beating consensus by $20 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.31, beating consensus by $0.02. Net revenue for Q2 is projected to be $1.33 billion, ahead of consensus by $20 million once again.
Marvell’s biggest catalyst will be the numerous products in the company’s product offerings that are perfect for enhancing AI capabilities. Current AI data centers require technology similar to Marvell’s high-speed PAM4 optical DSP platform. Additionally, AI data centers require connection by high-bandwidth, low-latency optical links – a market Marvell has pioneered. The company also recently announced its next generation 51.2T Teralynx 10 ethernet switching platform to fulfill consumer demands.
Yahoo Finance reports 26 analysts with a mean price target of $65.50, ranging from $50.00 to $100.00. In addition, notable firms believe in upside for MRVL stock, having all maintained and reiterated “Buy” and “Outperform” ratings.
