BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya met several <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">optical and networking component</a> vendors at the industry&#8217;s flagship Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) conference in San Francisco this week.&nbsp;
This year&#8217;s OFC seemed extra relevant due to the increasing importance of optical innovations in enabling higher-speed AI clusters.&nbsp;
Historically, high competition and pricing pressures have hurt the optical industry.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44517705/marvell-launches-next-gen-connectivity-to-meet-rising-ai-demands-in-data-infrastructure" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marvell Launches Next-Gen Connectivity to Meet Rising AI Demands in Data Infrastructure</a>
Still, the rising tide of AI is so strong, the vendors appear more confident in projecting growth for the next few years ($10 billion in calendar 2024, going to $30 billion by calendar 2029, per Lumentum/Lightcounting), significantly as it&#8217;s levered to capex from strong US cloud customers with a mission-critical need to invest in AI, versus more prior cycles driven by cyclically exposed global telcos.
Within optical components, Arya is most positive on Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) (price target $260) in large-cap and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) (price target $125) in SMIdcap, though he also noted positive sentiment at Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDO#NASDAQ">CRDO</a>) (price target $75), Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) (price target $85), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) (price target $120) and MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTSI#NASDAQ">MTSI</a>) (price target $160).
Going into OFC and last week&#8217;s Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GTC, the prevailing concern was the imminent launch of co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions in scale-out (between racks) and scale-up (within AI rack), potentially impacting the current discrete pluggable market that uses optical transceivers (Tx) with digital signal processors (DSP).&nbsp;&nbsp;
The reality was that Nvidia mentioned but did not launch any new scale-up solution. In some instances, the roadmap still relies heavily on copper or linear pluggable (LPO). Nvidia&#8217;s CPO announcements are spread out in the second half of 2026 for InfiniBand and in the second half of 2027 for Ethernet, indicating no real urgency in deployment.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, during OFC, Arya heard talks from Alphabet Inc (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, and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), showing no specific interest in abandoning the operationally sound pluggables approach to jump to CPO.&nbsp;
CPO can indeed save on space and power, but it comes at higher operational costs and has yet to be proven reliable. Any major deployment is pushing out to later this decade despite the strong tech offerings from CPO leader Broadcom and then Nvidia. Overall, Arya remains confident in the pluggable growth at Coherent and key DSP supplier Marvell Technology.
Arya attended Lumentum&#8217;s Analyst Day, where management raised its intermediate-term growth projections towards $3 billion from $2.4 billion given at last year&#8217;s OFC.&nbsp; Per Lumentum, it&#8217;s on track to achieve its $500 million quarterly run rate, exiting this year with $600 million+ per quarter in 6-9 months thereafter and $750 million a year later.&nbsp;
Interestingly, the increase from $2.4 billion to $3 billion is driven more by optical circuit switches (OCS) and high-speed continuous wave (CW) lasers rather than optical Tx, which could help from a margin perspective.&nbsp; Arya maintained the Underperform rating until he got a better indication of OCS industry demand outside Google&#8217;s captive OCS switch. Arya prefers Coherence, which is exposed to many of the same trends but with more attractive valuation and margin expansion opportunities.

Shares of companies within the broader technology sector are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

The AI revolution isn&#8217;t just about chips—it&#8217;s about the high-speed highways that move data between them. According to JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) are at the center of this networking build-out, making them prime beneficiaries of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the AI boom</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Networking Demand Surges with AI Compute</h2>
Sur highlights that the rapid expansion of accelerated computing &#8211; powered by Nvidia Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell GPUs, Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google&#8217;s TPUv6, and Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Trainium 2 &#8211; is fueling an insatiable need for faster networking. As hyperscalers scale out their data centers, demand for 800G and next-gen 1.6T networking solutions is set to soar through 2025 and beyond.
At the OFC Networking Conference this week, Broadcom showcased its dominance in high-performance switching, with its Tomahawk 5 and Jericho 3 chipsets seeing strong demand. The company is also gearing up for the launch of its 3nm Tomahawk 6 later this year, further strengthening its AI networking footprint.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marvell: The King Of PAM4 DSPs</h2>
Marvell continues to dominate the PAM4 DSP market, commanding over 70% market share and generating more than $1.5 billion in revenue from this segment in 2024. 
The company is leading the charge in next-gen 1.6T AEC and silicon photonics (SiPho) solutions, positioning itself to capitalize on both scale-out and scale-up networking demand. With strong AI-ASIC ramps in the pipeline, Marvell's data center business looks set for solid Q/Q growth through the rest of the year, the analyst said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom: The Networking Powerhouse</h2>
Broadcom, meanwhile, is flexing its dominance in high-performance networking. Its Tomahawk 5 switch (51.2Tbps throughput) is already in high-volume production, and the next-gen Tomahawk 6 (102Tbps) is expected to drop later this year. AI-related networking revenue is up over 60%, and Broadcom's deep lineup of scale-out and scale-up solutions—ranging from PCIe Gen5 connectivity to co-packaged optics—keeps it ahead of the pack, according to Sur.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Actionable ETFs for Investors</h2>
For those looking to gain exposure to this AI-driven networking surge, iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) both hold significant positions in Broadcom and Marvell, making them prime ways to ride this wave.
With hyperscalers racing to upgrade their AI infrastructure, Broadcom and Marvell are sitting in the sweet spot. 
With demand for ultra-high-speed networking solutions on the rise, these two semiconductor leaders appear well-positioned for further growth.

JPMorgan Says Broadcom, Marvell Could Dominate AI's Next Frontier — Here's Why

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares have fallen 19.6% year to date, pressured by ongoing concerns about AI spending, trade restrictions and broader market weakness. The stock, which was one of the best-performing names in 2024, has struggled in 2025 as investors reassess growth expectations and adjust to an increasingly uncertain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">economic environment.</a>
What To Know: Restrictions on chip exports to China remain a major headwind for Nvidia, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s ability to maintain its strong revenue growth. The company relies on China as a key market for its AI chips and any disruption in sales could have a material impact. Recent reports indicate that China is ramping up efforts to reduce its dependence on U.S. technology, which could further hurt Nvidia&#8217;s long-term positioning.
AI spending, which drove Nvidia's massive stock surge last year, is now under increased scrutiny. Some analysts are warning that corporations could slow their AI infrastructure investments in response to economic uncertainty.
Q1 Earnings: Nvidia's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">latest earnings report</a> helped accelerate the downside momentum in shares. Revenue jumped 78% year-over-year and earnings per share climbed 71%. The company guided for first-quarter revenue of $43 billion, significantly higher than the $26.04 billion reported in the same quarter last year. Despite these numbers, the stock has continued to decline as investors focus more on macroeconomic risks and shifting sentiment around AI-related spending.
Market Overview: The broader semiconductor sector is also facing challenges. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is down 14.9% year-to-date, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) has fallen 28% and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) is down 44.5%. Nvidia's premium valuation has become less of a talking point as market conditions shift. The stock currently trades with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 24.5, which remains above some of its peers, but is down significantly from the peak.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries at 4 p.m. ET. The Trump administration has said the tariffs could target specific sectors.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares were down 0.52% at $109.57 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Outside of that ETF, a number of other ETFs stand to gain from Nvidia&#8217;s and the telecom sector&#8217;s AI-led transformation:
• Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) targets AI-led innovation across sectors, such as cloud computing and telecommunications. 
• VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) contains top semiconductor players such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Qualcomm that form the backbone of AI-driven networking. 
• iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#BATS">IYZ</a>) offers exposure to large telecom companies such as Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and T-Mobile. 
• ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) contains firms utilizing AI-based connectivity for automation and future mobility. 
• First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) also covers cybersecurity companies such as Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which will be instrumental in protecting <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/platform/">AI-native</a> 6G <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2024/11/a-security-first-approach-to-6g/#:~:text=Next%20Steps,development%20and%20deployment%20of%206G.">networks</a>.
The actual impact of AI-enabled 6G is much greater than the telecommunications sector. From health and finance to manufacturing and self-driving cars, AI-enhanced networks will bring efficiency, security and performance to many different industries. 
Jablonski noted, &#8220;AI-integrated telecom networks will boost productivity and connectivity across several industries: healthcare – enabling remote surgeries, real-time diagnostics and telemedicine; finance, strengthening cybersecurity for transactions and real-time market analysis; manufacturing, enhancing automation and predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles, powering AI-native Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.&#8221;
The financial benefit won&#8217;t directly touch consumers&#8217; wallets. &#8220;In the short term, telecom companies will likely use AI-driven efficiency to increase their profits as they recover infrastructure investment costs. Over time, as AI optimizes network operations, consumers could see more competitive pricing and improved services — similar to how cloud services have evolved.&#8221; 
In the long run, with AI optimizing network operations, customers may experience more competitive rates and better services.
But, AI-driven networks may create a divide between telecom and tech giants. &#8220;Companies like AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are expanding into telecom with AI-driven cloud services. Traditional telecom providers that fail to adapt may struggle to compete with these tech-driven companies,&#8221; she noted.
Nvidia&#8217;s AI-native 6G project is a game-changer and the investment environment is changing rapidly. With partnerships that range from telecom behemoths to cloud and cybersecurity companies, the argument for ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies ETF and Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) has never been more compelling. As AI-powered networks redefine connectivity, investors can seize the opportunity to ride the future of telecommunications technology.
