NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stood on stage at COMPUTEX and called $MRVL the next trillion dollar company. When the most powerful man in tech says that about a stock you already own, you pay attention.
Here is why this is not just hype.
Huang did not say it casually. He explained exactly why. As AI computing problems get broken into thousands of pieces and spread across an entire data center, the one thing that makes it all work is connectivity.
The networking and custom silicon that lets thousands of chips talk to each other fast enough to function as one machine. That is what Marvell builds. That is why Huang called it essential.
And NVIDIA is not just talking. Earlier this year they put a $2 billion investment directly into Marvell.
The most valuable company on earth backing Marvell with real capital, then publicly anointing it the next trillion dollar company. That combination is extraordinarily rare.
Now the numbers behind the story. Marvell just guided its custom chip business to surpass $10 billion in revenue by fiscal 2029. The data center segment is exploding. Custom silicon demand from hyperscalers building larger and larger AI clusters keeps accelerating.
The stock is up massively this year and just posted its biggest single day gain ever on Huang’s comments.
Marvell sits at roughly $264 billion today. To hit a trillion it needs to roughly quadruple. That is the upside Huang is pointing at.
Connectivity is the bottleneck of the entire AI buildout and Marvell owns one of the most important positions in it.
When NVIDIA invests $2 billion in you and then calls you the next trillion dollar company, the path is laid out in front of you.
This looks like a no brainer to me here.
$MRLN just hit one of the most important milestones in its history and I think the market is only starting to understand what this company is building.
Merlin completed the Critical Design Review for its C-130J autonomy program with US Special Operations Command. Let me explain why this is a genuine inflection point.
The CDR is the final design validation gate. Completing it moves the program out of design and into actual aircraft integration, clearing the path to formal flight testing of their AI autonomy stack on a live C-130J.
This is the aircraft the company has been working toward flying autonomously from takeoff to touchdown with reduced or eventually zero crew.
They cleared the preliminary review in March. Now the critical review. The execution has been disciplined and on schedule.
Here is the bigger vision, because this is what makes Merlin special.
They are building the operating system of record for autonomous flight. Aircraft agnostic AI software designed to fly any plane, military or civilian.
The Merlin Pilot system has already logged hundreds of autonomous flights across test facilities worldwide.
The C-130J program with USSOCOM carries a $105 million ceiling and is the anchor of their defense revenue base. But the C-130J is just the beginning.
The CEO said it perfectly. For a hundred years aviation was built around human crews. The next hundred years will be built around autonomy.
And the expansion paths are enormous.
On the defense side, success on the C-130J opens pathways across the entire Special Operations fixed wing fleet, tankers, and other Department of War platforms.
On the commercial side, they just unveiled Merlin Pilot for Commercial Cargo under a new product family called Condor, bringing the same autonomy core to the massive and growing global air freight market.
One software platform. Military and civilian. Every aircraft type.
Now the backdrop. Defense autonomy is one of the hottest themes in the market right now. The Trump administration is reportedly in talks to fund autonomous defense companies to boost domestic production.
Merlin had actually underperformed its peers heading into this catalyst, which is exactly why the move is so sharp. Their board includes a former Secretary of the Navy and a former Blue Origin CEO. They raised $80 million to accelerate execution. Analyst targets sit between $11 and $15.
A validated autonomy program with US Special Operations Command. A clear path to live aircraft testing. Expansion across military and commercial aviation. And a defense autonomy wave building behind all of it.
This is a company trying to build the autonomy layer for the entire aviation industry. And it just cleared one of the biggest technical hurdles standing in its way.
For all of the people following me and for my subs DMing me about this.
I will never ask for your number or text you on any other platforms.
Many people are telling me they are texting me on What’s app…
Those are bots.
I will never people asking for anything and I do not have any other accounts.
A $350 million raise just handed me a discount on the one my favorite infrastructure stocks with potentially three lease signings lined up before year end.
I am buying the dip.
Here is why this dilution does not scare me one bit.
It is not even a stock offering. It is a convertible notes raise with capped call transactions built in specifically to reduce dilution.
About as shareholder friendly as a raise gets. They are funding the buildout without flooding the market with shares.
And they need the capital for one reason. To turn secured power into leased revenue.
$KEEL controls 2.2 gigawatts of pipeline across Pennsylvania, Washington, and Quebec with grid interconnections already in place.
This raise converts that power into operational AI data center capacity.
Now the catalyst that changes everything. On the Q1 call CEO Ben Gagnon said the 2026 priority is to sign three leases by year end.
One at Panther Creek. One at Sharon. One at Moses Lake. He called a signed lease the single most important inflection point for the entire business.
Three leases. Three sites. All targeted this year.
And look at how the stock got here. It ran from the low $4s to over $6 in a multi week run of higher lows where every single dip got bought.
The market has been front running this lease catalyst the entire time.
Now you get a temporary dilution dip, on a shareholder friendly raise, sitting directly in front of three potential lease signings.
We have seen this movie. $DGXX signed Cerebras and re-rated overnight. When the first $KEEL lease lands it does the same and there is no looking back.
The dilution created the entry. The leases are the catalyst.
