In our prior piece 'AI's Original Sin: Is NVIDIA the stimulant AI can’t quit?', Dolphin Research argued that the key shift for the AI supply chain in 2025 is the extreme upstream capture of value, which has thrown the system out of balance. This imbalance is reshaping incentives and risk-taking across the stack.With FOMO running high, AI spend keeps climbing, while rivalry among core players has become more explicit. Capital allocations are increasingly concentrated at the top of the chain.As the internet enters the AI era, regardless of how shifting inputs reshape bargaining power along the value chain, one ultimate question remains. After front-loaded investment in heavy capex, deep tech, and top talent with an approx. five-year depreciation cycle, is this ultimately a bubble?

Revenue: $Marvell Tech(MRVL.US) reported revenue of $2.07 billion this quarter, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 3.4%, in line with market expectations ($2.06 billion).

Marvell: Acquisition to Fill Gaps, Is the NVIDIA 'Alternative' Path Becoming a Reality?

COMP

Marvell Technology Quick Interpretation: The company's performance this quarter and guidance for the next quarter basically met expectations. The quarter-on-quarter performance this quarter was not mainly driven by data centers, but rather by the recovery of enterprise networks and carrier businesses. In the data center business, the company's optical interconnect products achieved double-digit growth quarter-on-quarter, but the custom ASIC business was affected by demand fluctuations (Amazon's product cycle), resulting in a quarter-on-quarter decline, ultimately leading to the company's data center business not showing significant quarter-on-quarter growth this quarter. Compared to this earnings report, the two core &#34;highlights&#34; provided by the company after the meeting are more important: 1) Raising guidance for the next fiscal year: The company's management had previously provided guidance for an 18% growth rate in the data center for the next fiscal year during a small meeting in September, and this time raised the guidance to 25%. With major manufacturers increasing capital expenditures, the company has also raised its expectations for next year; 2) Announcing the strategic acquisition of Celestial AI: This can fill the company's technological gaps and enrich its data center product matrix. Celestial AI's photonic fabric platform provides high bandwidth, low latency, and low power solutions for multi-rack XPU clusters (hundreds of XPUs). Previously, Marvell Technology's stock price was deeply mired in concerns about &#34;Alchip competition.&#34; The definitive guidance provided by the company's management can somewhat alleviate market concerns. Compared to companies like NVIDIA and Broadcom, Marvell is still on the periphery of the AI chip market. The announcement of the strategic acquisition of Celestial AI fills the company's shortcomings in the scale-up interconnect field and conveys the company's determination to continue competing in the data center and AI markets. For more information, please follow Dolphin Research's subsequent commentary and management minutes. $Marvell Tech(MRVL.US) $GraniteShares 2x Long MRVL Daily ETF(MVLL.US)

Marked by the release of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, the AI frenzy over the past three years has swept through every sector, from computing power, storage, networking, manufacturing, power infrastructure, software applications, and even to edge devices. Each direction has been repeatedly hyped. However, by the end of the third anniversary, when the pillars of AI infrastructure announced unprecedented AI mega infrastructure projects around the third-quarter reports, the market suddenly seemed to lose its soul, starting to worry that AI investments might be a bubble. Some in the industry have made a fortune, while others have lost so much that they resort to frantic fundraising. Where exactly is the problem? The financing is dazzling and bizarre, why?
