While a handful of chipmakers grab all the headlines in the artificial intelligence (AI) race, Marvel(NASDAQ: MRVL) Quiet progress is being made in this area. The company designs networking chips and custom artificial intelligence accelerators, Microsoft and Amazon is one of the latter’s main customers.
Management has seen strong results from its custom AI chip business and expects this trend to continue. The company’s fourth-quarter guidance implies full-year revenue growth of 42%, with total revenue expected to exceed $8 billion. Management also hinted at more than 20% growth next year, to $10 billion, during the third-quarter earnings call. Further growth is expected next year as production of Microsoft’s next-generation Maia chips is expected to increase.
Marvell announced a new acquisition alongside its third-quarter earnings. It will add Celestial AI, a pre-profit startup specializing in photonics. This should bolster Marvell’s networking chip business, allowing it to integrate new technologies into its optical interconnect chips. It also wants to integrate it with its custom AI accelerators, noting that specialized AI accelerators require specialized network chips for optimal performance. Management expects the run rate from new products from the acquisition to grow to $1 billion within three years.
Marvell, which trades at about $100 a share, trades for about 29 times analysts’ earnings forecasts for next year. That’s a steep price to pay for a company that expects profits to rise about 20% next year, with growth likely to accelerate the year after. This is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a $100 investment in growth stocks.
draft king(NASDAQ: DKNG) is one of the top online sportsbooks in the United States. Two recent developments have caused investors to discount sports betting stocks: the rise of prediction markets and changes in tax laws. Prediction markets, which use futures contracts that are legally traded in all 50 states, have the potential to take market share from regulated sportsbooks like DraftKings. Meanwhile, changes to tax deductions for gambling losses could prompt more punters to turn to prediction markets or unregulated sports betting.
But DraftKings performed well enough to avoid these threats. Management reported in its third-quarter earnings report that as of November 3 of this year, both NFL and NBA wagering were up year-over-year. Meanwhile, its holdings have continued to climb so far this year, driven by an increase in parlay bets.
These results highlight the competitive advantage presented by DraftKings. First, the brand strength continues to improve. Recent deals further cement this ComcastNBCUniversal and disneyESPN, replacing pennsylvania entertainment corp. As a sports betting partner of ESPN. Additionally, DraftKings benefits from powerful technology and vast amounts of data, which allows it to offer better uptime, more content and more bet types, ensuring it stays ahead of the competition.
DraftKings’ enterprise value is about $34.50 per share, which is about 35 times management’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) this year. But after spending heavily this year to combat prediction markets and other threats, DraftKings should see strong profit growth in the coming years as those expenses reduce. At current prices, this is a no-brainer, as future earnings growth should support valuations.
