☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Marvell Surges 32% on Jensen Huang's COMPUTEX Endorsement

Midday update: Jensen Huang name-dropped Marvell Technology at COMPUTEX and the stock shot up 32% to a new all-time high. S&P 500 closed above 7,600 for the first time in history. And tonight, Broadcom reports its Q2 AI chip results after the close — the most important earnings print of the week.

💬 Today's 3 Big Questions

1. Jensen Huang called out Marvell by name at COMPUTEX as the core AI networking silicon partner. MRVL makes the custom ASICs that connect GPU clusters inside hyperscaler data centres — a role arguably as critical as the GPU itself. Is MRVL now a must-own AI infrastructure name alongside NVDA and MU, or has the 32% single-day move already priced in the next year of growth?
2. SpaceX is targeting an IPO at $135 per share to raise $75 billion, which would be the largest tech IPO in history. Morningstar flags that secondary market pricing already implies a valuation at less than half the IPO target. Would you buy SpaceX at the IPO price — or wait for the post-listing correction?
3. Broadcom reports tonight with the street modelling $22.1B revenue (+47% YoY) and AI revenue of $10.7B (+140% YoY). With MRVL +32%, HPE +20%, NVDA +6%, and PANW all beating on AI demand this week — does AVGO have to absolutely crush to maintain the AI narrative, or is a strong in-line print enough?
