Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock is up Friday amid reports indicating the U.S. government is set to announce further sanctions on exporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor equipment and AI memory chips</a> to China, which will be less stringent than the previous ones.
Additionally, the U.S. embargo will focus on Chinese companies that make semiconductor manufacturing equipment instead of the fabrication facilities following protests from&nbsp;Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>),&nbsp;Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), and&nbsp;KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) as the move will enable the U.S. companies to maintain their edge versus international rivals like ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and Tokyo Electron Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOELY#OTC">TOELY</a>) which have not wholly subscribed to the U.S. sanctions against China.

The U.S. could announce the fresh semiconductor sanctions by next week, according to Bloomberg, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-28/us-readies-china-chip-curbs-that-stop-short-of-earlier-proposals?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing</a> sources familiar with the issue.
The fresh restrictions will follow months of negotiations between the U.S. government, allies like Japan and the Netherlands, and American chip equipment makers. The U.S. chip companies, including Nvidia and rivals, had previously urged the government to relax its embargo against China, a key semiconductor market.
Therefore, the U.S. expects to impose restrictions on fewer Huawei Technologies Co suppliers and restrict only&nbsp;two chip factories of Huawei partner&nbsp;Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.
However, the new restrictions will affect <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40198085/huawei-and-baidu-increase-samsung-hbm-purchases-as-us-curbs-loom" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-bandwidth memory chip</a> companies like &nbsp;Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>),&nbsp;SK Hynix Inc, and&nbsp;Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
The disruption of the semiconductor supply chain caused by the 2020 pandemic in China prompted global countries to consolidate their semiconductor bases and reduce their dependence on China. The U.S. and other countries started luring contract chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) with subsidies to manufacture advanced artificial intelligence chips in their U.S. facilities while insisting ally countries like the Netherlands and Japan to impose similar sanctions on China.
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), which represent stocks like Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Micron were up about 1% on Friday.

Nvidia, Chip Stocks Gain On Reports Of Softer China Sanctions

Global chip stocks and ETFs experienced a notable surge following reports that U.S. officials are contemplating easing restrictions on sales to China. This development could lead to significant changes in the semiconductor industry as early as next week.
What Happened: Shares of global chip companies rose on Thursday after reports surfaced that U.S. officials might ease&nbsp;restrictions on sales to China.&nbsp;The potential changes could be announced as early as next week.
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Chip ETFs reacted positively as well:&nbsp;Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X&nbsp;Shares&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>), which holds over 8% in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), rose 2.67%,&nbsp;iShares Semiconductor ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) increased by 1.03%, and&nbsp;VanEck Semiconductor ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) climbed 0.90%.
The deliberations have involved U.S. officials,&nbsp;allies in Japan and the&nbsp;Netherlands, and American chip equipment manufacturers. These manufacturers have lobbied against stricter measures, warning of severe impacts on their businesses. The latest proposal differs from earlier versions, particularly regarding which Chinese companies might be added&nbsp;to a trade restriction list.
Previously, the U.S.&nbsp;considered sanctioning six suppliers to&nbsp;Huawei Technologies Co., a key player in China&#8217;s tech sector. However, the current plan may only include some of these suppliers, notably excluding&nbsp;ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc., which is developing AI memory chip technology.

Why It Matters: The potential easing of U.S. restrictions on China comes amid a backdrop of complex geopolitical tensions and trade policies. Recently,&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;highlighted the severe impact a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">proposed 60% tariff</a> on Chinese goods could have on Beijing, suggesting a shift in manufacturing away from China. Additionally,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42089611/taiwan-semiconductor-faces-china-challenges-amid-potential-trump-return-and-geopolitical-tensions">Taiwan Semiconductor</a>&nbsp;faces challenges due to geopolitical tensions, with China focusing on enhancing its local chip production capabilities.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42216863/nvidia-intel-suppliers-rethink-mexico-operations-amid-trumps-tariff-threat">Nvidia and Intel</a>&nbsp;suppliers are reevaluating their manufacturing strategies in Mexico due to potential tariffs. These developments underscore the intricate dynamics at play in the semiconductor industry and the global supply chain.

Nvidia And Other Chip-Stock Linked ETFs Surge Amid Potential Easing Of US Restrictions On China

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2024-11-22_07h31_01-scaled.jpg" alt="" style="width:624px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Frenzy Shifts</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-ai-frenzy-shift-software-stocks-igv-smh-mc-11222024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart comparing VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGV#BATS">IGV</a>).&nbsp;
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The Arora Report previously shared with readers that the next stage of AI would benefit software stocks.&nbsp; This is beginning to happen now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows software ETF IGV has moved up since the presidential election.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows that IGV has outperformed semiconductor ETF SMH by about 10% since the election.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The Arora Report algorithms show money is flowing out of semiconductors and into software.</li>
<li>AI allows work processes to be totally reimagined compared to work processes of today.&nbsp; Work processes of today are implemented with legacy software.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, it is an order of magnitude more efficient to use reimagined processes with AI native software.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, there is a battle brewing among software companies for market share when it comes to AI capabilities.&nbsp; Legacy software companies have existing customers and cash to invest in AI.&nbsp; Legacy software companies are bolting on AI offerings.&nbsp; AI native software companies have an edge technologically.&nbsp; However, they do not have an existing market share.&nbsp; Promising AI native software companies are privately held.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The foregoing tells us that AI will end up decimating some software companies while others will go to new heights.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Investors need to look forward.&nbsp; Right now, most investors who are investing in software companies are looking backwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Looking forward to 2030, the best way to capture AI opportunities in software companies is to combine the following three:
<ul>
<li>Profiting from a base position in a software ETF.&nbsp; The Arora Report's software ETF of choice is IGV.&nbsp; As full disclosure, IGV is in The Arora Report's ZYX Allocation Model Portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Profiting from individual software company stocks that are evolving and keeping pace with AI developments and retaining and attracting customers.&nbsp; An example is PLTR and as full disclosure, PLTR was recently added to The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Profiting from shorting software companies whose business models are being hurt by AI.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A judicious combination of the foregoing will produce significantly higher risk adjusted returns, compared to using only one of the three in your investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In the early trade, the momo crowd is aggressively buying junk stocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China</h3>
Chinese stocks are ultra cheap.&nbsp; The rally in Chinese stock has stalled after Trump's re-election.&nbsp; Trump wants to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese goods.&nbsp; In the face of Trump's threat, China's 10 year note auction saw strong demand.&nbsp; The pricing was close to the record low yield.&nbsp; This data point indicates that investors believe China will manage just fine with Trump's tariffs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In The Arora Report analysis, it is important to keep track of such data points. &nbsp;If there are more such data points, it will be time to step into Chinese stocks because they are so cheap.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).&nbsp;
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is approaching $100K. SEC Chair Gensler has said that he will resign on Trump's inauguration day.&nbsp; Gensler has been anti-bitcoin.&nbsp; Even though Gensler's resignation was expected, as Trump has said he would replace Gensler, buying came into bitcoin on the news.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.&nbsp;
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Opportunities For Investors As AI Frenzy Shifts From Semiconductors To Software

Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) shares are trading lower by 0.35% to $89.01 Wednesday morning. The market spotlight is on NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s earnings report on Wednesday after-hours, which could have significant repercussions for Marvell.
As a critical supplier of semiconductor solutions for data centers, AI infrastructure and networking, Marvell's fortunes are closely tied to the growth of the AI market that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">Nvidia dominates</a>. Marvell meanwhile reports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRVL/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter financial results</a> on Tuesday, December 3rd.
What To Know: As Nvidia leads the AI revolution, Marvell plays a supporting role by providing the high-speed connectivity and data processing solutions required to deploy advanced AI systems.
A strong earnings report from Nvidia, driven by sustained AI demand, would reinforce the sector's growth narrative, benefiting Marvell. Nvidia's reliance on high-performance networking chips aligns with Marvell's portfolio, particularly in custom solutions for AI workloads and cloud computing environments. Higher demand for Nvidia's GPUs could signal increased adoption of Marvell's enabling technologies.

Marvell could face concerns about reduced product demand if Nvidia's results fall short or its guidance signals slowing AI investment. As Marvell has emphasized its pivot toward AI and 5G opportunities, any signs of stagnation in AI infrastructure spending could weigh heavily on investor sentiment.
Marvell's stock, often sensitive to sector-wide trends, could see volatility tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">Nvidia's performance</a>. Investors will watch Nvidia's commentary on supply chain trends and customer demand for clues about potential ripple effects on Marvell's business.

Investors can gain exposure to&nbsp;MRVL by&nbsp;investing&nbsp;in the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MRVL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Marvell Tech&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MRVL has a 52-week high of $95.09 and a 52-week low of $50.35.

What's Going On With Marvell Technology (MRVL) Shares?

NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s earnings report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">Wednesday after-hours</a> could have large implications for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), a key competitor in the semiconductor space and a rising player in AI hardware. 
Nvidia's dominance in AI chips has set the market's standard, and its performance may either validate or challenge AMD's strategic push into this lucrative area.
What To Know: AMD has been aggressively targeting the AI accelerator market, launching its MI300 series chips aimed at competing with Nvidia's market-leading GPUs. 
A strong Nvidia report, highlighting continued AI demand and robust sales, could bode well for AMD by reinforcing confidence in the sector's growth potential. This would bolster expectations for AMD's forthcoming AI products and validate the company's investments in next-generation AI technologies.
However, a disappointing Nvidia report could raise concerns about market saturation or slowing AI investments, potentially dampening enthusiasm for AMD's own growth narrative. Investors will be particularly attuned to Nvidia's guidance on demand for AI infrastructure, as it directly impacts the opportunity space AMD is trying to penetrate.

AMD also faces the risk of unfavorable comparisons. Nvidia's dominant market share and ability to scale its AI solutions more efficiently may highlight challenges AMD could face in gaining meaningful traction against its rival. 
With Nvidia options pricing in significant volatility, AMD's stock could see sympathetic moves as investors reassess AI-related growth across the semiconductor industry.
For AMD, Nvidia's results are not just a benchmark but a critical signal for its trajectory in the competitive AI chip race.
What Else: AMD shares rose Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42045498/whats-going-on-with-advanced-micro-devices-stock-monday">following its collaboration with IBM</a> to integrate AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators into IBM Cloud, enhancing performance for generative AI and enterprise computing and supporting platforms like Watsonx AI and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The accelerators, set for release in 2025, aim to help enterprise clients optimize costs and scalability for AI applications.

Investors can gain exposure to AMD by investing in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) or the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
Wall Street analysts view Advanced Micro Devices on the whole as an Outperform, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Harsh Kumar from Piper Sandler in Advanced Micro Devices is the most optimistic, expecting a 14.29% rise in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, Advanced Micro Devices fell 12.95%, which indicates that opinion soured on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 17.57% over the past year.

AMD has a 52-week high of $227.30 and a 52-week low of $116.37.

What's Going On With AMD Stock?

As NVIDIA Corp prepares to unveil its earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">Wednesday evening</a>, the results could have significant consequences for Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), a key player in the semiconductor space with a growing focus on AI infrastructure. 
Nvidia's earnings are a bellwether for the AI-driven technology trade, and Marvell's exposure to similar market trends makes its stock particularly sensitive to Nvidia's performance. Marvell meanwhile reports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRVL/earnings">third-quarter financial results</a> Tuesday, December 3rd.
What To Know: Marvell has positioned itself as a vital supplier of semiconductor solutions tailored to data centers, 5G infrastructure and AI applications. These areas overlap significantly with Nvidia&#8217;s core markets, particularly in powering the next generation of AI workloads.
A strong earnings report from Nvidia could reaffirm optimism around AI infrastructure investments, potentially boosting demand expectations for Marvell's high-speed networking and storage products.
Conversely, if Nvidia's results or guidance fall short of lofty expectations, it may signal a broader slowdown in AI-related spending, putting pressure on Marvell's growth story. Investors may scrutinize Nvidia's commentary on supply-chain dynamics and demand trends for insights into potential ripple effects on Marvell's upcoming earnings.
Marvell's stock has already been volatile this year, reflecting fluctuating investor sentiment on the AI boom. With Nvidia options pricing in a massive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">12.5% one-day move</a>, market expectations are high, and Marvell could see collateral volatility as investors reassess AI's near-term trajectory.

Investors can gain exposure to MRVL by investing in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MRVL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Marvell Tech&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MRVL has a 52-week high of $95.09 and a 52-week low of $50.35.

Benzinga Market Summary: CPI Falls In Line With Estimates, Chip Stocks Pull Back, Gold Continues Lower As US Dollar Rises

While the S&amp;P 500 Index continues its post-election surge, breaking through key resistance levels, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nasdaq-100">the NASDAQ 100</a> is struggling to keep up.
This catch-up is prompting JPMorgan analyst Jason Hunter to ask: Is this a shift in market leadership or a temporary pause for the tech-heavy index?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Breaks Out, NASDAQ 100 Stalls</h1>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="794" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-643450" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM.png 794w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM-300x175.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM-768x449.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /></figure>
After the S&amp;P 500 re-accelerated through April's channel resistance and the 5850-5878 highs post-election, the index remains firmly bullish, with key support holding in the 5600s. The next resistance levels are now pegged at 6166 and 6194. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ 100 has faced a roadblock, unable to surpass its August rebound high. 
Hunter highlights that despite a broad market rally, the NASDAQ has underperformed, suggesting a potential leadership shift away from tech.
This divergence between the two indices is critical. If the NASDAQ 100 fails to break through its recent range, it would further support the idea that a regime change is in the cards — one where sectors outside of tech, like communication services, could be driving the market forward.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Communication Services Steals The Spotlight</h1>
Interestingly, while the NASDAQ 100 as a whole struggles, the Communication Services sector has been leading the charge in the index's breakout. Good news for investors in the iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#NYSE">IYZ</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Telecom ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTL#NYSE">XTL</a>)
Tech and semiconductor stocks have lagged, clustered just below resistance. Relevant for investors in the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>), the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), the Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQM#NASDAQ">QQQM</a>).
Hunter's outlook suggests that in the coming weeks these hardware-oriented stocks may get "dragged higher" if the broader market rally continues. The question remains: Will they catch up, or will they continue to underperform as the rally unfolds?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Struggles: A Key Test For Tech's Future</h1>
Semiconductors, once at the heart of tech's dominance, have been particularly sluggish. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has faced stiff resistance at the 5397 July peak and the 5537 78.6% retracement level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="794" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-643479" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM.png 794w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM-300x175.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM-768x449.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /></figure>
While it has managed to hold above the 4997 200-day moving average, Hunter is closely watching whether these resistance levels will break.
If the semiconductor sector can't clear this hurdle, it would signal a continuation of the underperformance that has characterized the group since mid-summer. 
On the other hand, if bullish momentum drags semiconductors through these barriers, it could fuel a catch-up rally in tech stocks, reversing the trend of broad market leadership shifting to other sectors.
Investors in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NASDAQ">SOXL</a>) should remain wary of their holdings.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Will Tech Stage A Comeback?</h1>
Despite these challenges, Hunter remains optimistic that the post-election bullish momentum could eventually carry tech stocks, particularly semiconductors, back into the leadership role they held for much of the 2022-2024 rally. 
But if semiconductors continue to falter, and the broader market continues to rally without them, it could confirm that the days of tech dominance are coming to an end — at least for the near term.
For now, Hunter is watching for any breakouts in the tech sector, especially in semiconductors, to see if they can reclaim their former leadership position. 
The key levels to watch are the 5397 July gap for the SOX Index and the 21433-22306 range for the NASDAQ 100.

Taiwan Semiconductor stock took a hit after the U.S. Department of Commerce <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41883357/taiwan-semiconductor-stock-drops-as-us-orders-halt-on-ai-chip-sales-to-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">instructed the chipmaker</a> to cease supplying China with sophisticated chips—of 7 nanometers or more advanced designs—that support AI and graphics processing capabilities.
The U.S. move sent jitters across the sector, anticipating further actions from President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s administration, which had previously attacked the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41845483/taiwan-semiconductor-us-expansion-plans-unfazed-by-trump-win-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. Chips Act and Taiwan</a>, the hometown of Taiwan Semiconductor.

Taiwan Semiconductor is a crucial supplier to tech giants like&nbsp;Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and&nbsp;Nvidia.
The semiconductor stocks also got a hit from Edgewater Research analysts, flagging Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), which faced a significant setback and sent its stock plunging on Monday.
The analysts noted Monolithic&#8217;s allocation to Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell GPUs is in jeopardy due to performance problems with its Power Management ICs.
The analysts highlighted that Japanese company Renesas and German firm Infineon have stepped in, receiving rush orders, potentially replacing Monolithic in Nvidia&#8217;s B200 and GB200 SKUs.
Edgewater expressed concern that supply chain partners perceived Monolithic&#8217;s temporary solution as a stopgap measure rather than a complete fix.
Investors can gain exposure to semiconductor stocks through VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>).
Price Action: At the last check on Monday, NVDA stock was trading lower by 1.67% to $145.19, INTC was down 4.16%, and ARM was down 4.07%.

Why Are Chip Stocks Trading Lower On Monday?

Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States, defeating his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. Here&#8217;s a look at where Trump stands on issues surrounding the technology sector and some of the biggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">companies on Wall Street.</a>
Tariffs: President-elect Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41561517/trump-pushes-forward-with-controversial-tariff-plan-despite-growing-backlash-from-voters-who-strongl">has promoted </a>tariffs of 20% on all imports coming into the country and tariffs as high as 60% on goods made in China. 
Companies like Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) which produces most of its products in China, could be heavily impacted by higher tariffs and may pass those costs onto the consumer as a result.

Chips: The semiconductor industry could be highly effected by Trump&#8217;s potential tariff policies. The Biden administration hiked tariffs on semiconductors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41383055/china-launches-probe-into-intel-cites-national-security-risks-amid-trade-tensions-with-us"> imported from China</a> with the rate set to increase to 50% by 2025. It is likely Trump will maintain this policy and perhaps hike the tariffs even higher. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38650086/intel-micron-among-winners-in-bidens-280b-chips-act-for-semiconductor-advancement">outgoing administration enacted the</a> CHIPS and Science Act to provide funding for American research, manufacturing and workforce development aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor production. Trump has been highly critical of the CHIPS and Science Act and has suggested that implementing high tariffs would drive chip manufacturers to invest their own resources in establishing production facilities inside the U.S. 
Investors and chipmakers will be watching to see if Trump will attempt to claw back funds promised under the CHIPS Act or dismantle or reduce the program.
Trump has also been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41604100/trump-goes-after-taiwan-semiconductor-on-joe-rogan-podcast">vocal critic</a> of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) planned investments in the US, particularly its $40 billion project in Arizona. Once in office, Trump could attempt to cancel or modify the subsidies that have been promised to the company through the CHIPS Act.&nbsp;

Investors can monitor the market's reaction to the election results through an ETF that tracks the semiconductor sector, including the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>).&nbsp;
DOJ: Under the Biden administration, the Justice Department intensified its scrutiny of major technology companies, particularly in the areas of monopolistic practices and proposed mergers and acquisitions in order to prevent further market concentration. 
Alphabet, Inc.'s (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 currently faces multiple antitrust cases brought by the US Department of Justice under the Biden administration and include charges of illegally monopolizing the internet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41616230/sundar-pichai-admits-doj-proposals-could-have-unintended-consequences-google-mapping-out-plan-b-in-c">search engine</a> and advertising technology markets. 
A Trump White House — along with a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/congress-elections-house-senate-harris-trump-94b49277db2a5c21f23236794a36afa6">Republican Senate</a> — will likely take a more deregulatory approach to technology and AI when compared to his predecessor. 
Trump has also committed to rolling back Biden&#8217;s executive order on AI regulation, which some conservatives view as government overreach.
AI hyperscalers, like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services (AWS) will likely face less regulatory oversight under a Trump administration, potentially giving them more freedom in developing and deploying AI technologies.
Markets React: Stock futures are surging Wednesday morning with tech-heavy Nasdaq futures up 1.79% as investors interpret Trump&#8217;s victory as positive for the technology sector. 
AAPL, TSM, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Apple shares are up 0.42% at $224.40, TSMC shares are down 1.74% at $192.35, Alphabet shares are up 2.26% at $175.29, Microsoft shares are up 1.22% at $416.48 and Amazon shares are up 0.46% at $200.42 in premarket trading Wednesday.

Tech Stocks Rally As Investors Await Magnificent 7 Earnings; Dollar Eyes Fourth Straight Positive Week: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) accomplished better-than-expected production yields at its first Arizona plant than at its Taiwan facilities, which is a crucial yardstick for a plant&#8217;s profitability.
The contract chipmaker&#8217;s Phoenix facility reported yields roughly 400 bps above those at home, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-24/tsmc-s-arizona-chip-production-yields-surpass-taiwan-s-a-win-for-us-push?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> head of Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s U.S. division Rick Cassidy.

The contract chipmaker&#8217;s update coincides with tensions over a possible violation of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41518452/taiwan-semiconductor-halts-shipments-after-huawei-link-discovered-us-sanctions-cited" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. semiconductor embargo</a> on China, rendering the chipmaker vulnerable to regulatory scrutiny.
Taiwan Semiconductor stopped shipments to a customer after finding its chips had reached Huawei Technologies Co. The U.S. semiconductor ban on China has led to illegal attempts by Chinese firms to access restricted chips.
Huawei, a leading provider of 5G network equipment, has been a focal point in the tech standoff between Beijing and Washington since the U.S. imposed sanctions in 2019 over alleged espionage concerns, which Huawei denies.
Taiwan Semiconductor, a key U.S. CHIPS Act contender, is seeking $6.6 billion in U.S. grants, $5 billion in loans, and substantial tax credits to build three fabrication plants (fabs) in Arizona.
Cassidy told Bloomberg Taiwan Semiconductor that they may consider expanding further in the U.S., contingent on additional government support. The Phoenix complex has the potential for at least six fabs.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s Arizona site initially battled labor shortages and safety issues, delaying the production timeline.
Also this week Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chief Jensen Huang <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41494373/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">acknowledged the resolution</a> of a Blackwell chip flaw thanks to its longtime partner Taiwan Semiconductor.
He also admitted that everything is going fine with its partner, snubbing reports hinting at possible friction between the companies.
Needham&nbsp;analyst Charles Shi expects Taiwan Semiconductor to reach a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41408200/this-bullish-analyst-highlights-taiwan-semis-3nm-strength-and-margin-expansion-pote" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue of $90 billion</a> in fiscal 2024 following upbeat third-quarter print led by 3nm thanks to Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
He expects the revenue to hit at least $110 billion in fiscal 2025 (up from $96 billion) and the margin to return to 60% in the second half of 2025.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock gained 126% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the semiconductor sector through VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>).

Marvell Showcases Next-Gen 3nm Technology, Doubling Data Speeds for AI Systems

Shares of ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) plunged by over 16% on Tuesday morning trading in New York following an accidental early release of the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report, sending shockwaves <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">through the semiconductor sector. </a>
The Dutch semiconductor equipment giant saw its stock drop sharply after lowering its 2025 sales outlook, casting a shadow over heightened future growth prospects. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ASML Lowers 2025 Sales Forecast</h3>
ASML's third-quarter report, published a day ahead of schedule, revealed a significant revision to its 2025 net sales guidance, now projected between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion to $38.2 billion) — a reduction from the previously stated range of 30 billion euros to 40 billion euros. 
This downgrade in outlook is driven by slower-than-expected recovery in key market segments, despite strong growth from artificial intelligence investments.
&#8220;While there continue to be strong developments and upside potential in AI, other market segments are taking longer to recover. It now appears the recovery is more gradual than previously expected. This is expected to continue in 2025, which is leading to customer cautiousness,&#8221; said ASML president and CEO Christophe Fouquet.
&#8220;We expect our 2025 total net sales to grow to a range between 30-35 billion euros, which is the lower half of the range that we provided at our Investor Day,&#8221; the CEO said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ASML&#8217;s Q3 Results: Solid Performance, But Outlook Sours</h3>
For Q3 2024, ASML reported total net sales of 7.5 billion euros, surpassing analyst expectations of 7.12 billion euros. 
Net income reached 2.1 billion euros, with a gross margin of 50.8%. The company&#8217;s quarterly net bookings came in at 2.6 billion euros. Importantly, 1.4 billion euros of the bookings were for EUV (extreme ultraviolet) systems, indicating ongoing demand for advanced chip manufacturing equipment.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, ASML expects total net sales to land between 8.8 billion euros and 9.2 billion euros with a gross margin between 49% and 50%. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2024 guidance, projecting total sales of around 28 billion euros. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sector-Wide Impact: Chip Stocks Slide</h3>
The negative reaction to ASML's earnings leak rippled across the broader semiconductor sector, dragging down other major players. 
By midday Tuesday, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) was down 3.7%, marking its worst trading session in over a month. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NYSE">SMH</a>) dropped by over 4%, as investor sentiment soured on chip-related stocks.
