What happened

Shares of Marvell have soared roughly 241% over the past 12 months, compared with just 6. Marvell Technology CEO Matt Murphy said trust has helped fuel the chipmaker's massive run over the past year. Marvell picked up a major win in August when it announced a multi-year technology supply agreement with Google, which had long been considered Broadcom's most important custom-chip customer. Qualcomm shares have missed out on the chip sector’s rally this year — but the company is now working on various chip projects with Amazon.

" Murphy said that reputation has allowed Marvell to work across the AI ecosystem rather than depend on any one customer or chip architecture.

The wider picture

Those relationships have fueled explosive growth at Marvell, with data center revenue projected to rise 60% in fiscal 2027, according to FactSet, before accelerating slightly to 61% growth in fiscal 2028. Investors hope to hear more about Marvell's long-term financial targets when the company holds an investor day in early October. But a new partnership between Marvell's own longtime customer, Amazon, and rival Qualcomm on Tuesday highlighted the competition for hyperscaler business. When asked by CNBC's Jim Cramer about the deal, Murphy dismissed concerns about Marvell's position.

The solution that OpenAI says it has now reached for the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem resolved two out of the four statements in the proof that the Millennium Prize had demanded.

What has been reported

" It's fantastic advice, and worth remembering when looking at shares of Vertiv Holdings. Given the enormous capex in that area it is unsurprising that Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi said on the Q2 '26 earnings call, where they raised guidance and reported a 24% growth in net sales and a 410 bps expansion in adjusted operating margins, "We raised our full-year 26 guidance across all key metrics; the momentum is strong, it is broad-based, and it is accelerating. Vertiv, 5 yearsThe company will next report earnings on October 22nd.

Assuming there are no additional delays and the company remains on track to meet (or exceed) the higher full year guidance of the last reported quarter, it could regain more of the ground it gave up since the mid-May highs. The reason is that it provides a bit more flexibility regarding the timing of realizing gains or losses. If the trade works out, but one does not wish to realize the gain in 2026, the trade can be held past year end.

TechGadgetsReportApple says ‘Fold’ and competitors ask ‘How wide? ’Tomorrow’s launch of its first foldable iPhone proves Apple still calls the shots. by Dominic PrestonSep 8, 2026, 12:00 PM UTCNew Apple CEO John Ternus’ first hardware launch has already proved the company’s industry influence. | Image: The Verge / Getty ImagesTechGadgetsReportApple says ‘Fold’ and competitors ask ‘How wide? ’Tomorrow’s launch of its first foldable iPhone proves Apple still calls the shots. by Dominic PrestonSep 8, 2026, 12:00 PM UTCDominic Preston is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism.

Apple is almost certain to launch its first foldable iPhone tomorrow, seven years after Samsung’s Galaxy Fold initially went on sale.

What happens next

And while Apple might be a few years late to the party, the run-up to this launch proves that new CEO John Ternus has inherited a company that’s as influential as it’s ever been. For one, the arrival of some iPhone 18 models will likely be delayed — the Pros will be available first, but the regular 18 is supposedly set to launch early next year instead. RelatedApple’s foldable ‘iPhone Duo’ will reportedly start at $2,000If you’ve been following the phone industry this year, that should sound a little familiar.

You might — not unreasonably — ask what Apple’s got to do with this. Photo: Dominic Preston / The VergeWe’ll never know for certain which manufacturer landed on the idea of a wide foldable first, but there is good reason to think it was Apple. Last year, the iPhone Air triggered a similar early imitation in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, not to mention other thin and light phones from the likes of Honor, Huawei, and Tecno.

And there’s little reason to think the major Android players were about to force a change themselves.
