I already have low-risk exposure to the US market through various ETFs, so I don’t usually consider individual companies when looking for stocks to buy.

I’ve always thought of Marvell as a competitor to Nvidia, which makes the endorsement all the more interesting. But of course, there’s more to the story.
Huang’s comment comes on top of a strategic $2bn partnership that effectively makes Marvell a core part of Nvidia’s AI ‘factory’ stack.

How are the numbers looking?
Marvell’s recent results certainly don’t disappoint. In its Q4 2026 results, it reported record revenue of about $2.22bn, slightly ahead of expectations. Data centre sales reached $1.65, up more than 20% year on year.
