01MRVL▼ -12.72%
Marvell Technology ($MRVL) agreed to acquire Lumentum in a $115 billion all-stock deal designed to integrate optical and semiconductor technologies for AI infrastructure, though the market reacted negatively to the announcement. Sources indicate Nvidia ($NVDA) had a role in facilitating the transaction, and the chipmaker's shares edged higher overnight after a four-day selloff.

03INTC▼ -8.80%
Intel ($INTC) dropped 29% in its worst decline in decades as the company faces declining gross margins, a significant miss in client PC revenue due to expensive memory costs, and execution challenges. Data center revenue at Intel ($INTC) has remained resilient despite the broader struggles, and the rise of agentic AI is expected to drive long-term CPU demand. The company's weaker margin guidance reflected the same pricing squeeze that flash memory manufacturers are experiencing from the buyer's side.

04DELL▼ -7.43%
