The AI infrastructure boom is driving unprecedented demand for both compute and power. Marvell Technology raised its FY28 revenue projection to $20 billion, citing a $400 billion AI market opportunity by 2030, while Alphabet’s $1 billion, 20-year nuclear power deal with Constellation Energy signals a structural shift in data center energy sourcing. This validates the thesis that AI growth is bottlenecked by power availability, lifting nuclear stocks like Oklo and Constellation while reinforcing long-term bullishness for AI chipmakers like AMD and Marvell. Despite the broad tech rally, individual MAG7 names are facing distinct headwinds. Meta is under investigation by UK regulators (Ofcom) over Instagram Instants, raising safety and content concerns. Amazon is navigating operational and PR challenges, including controversies over data center impacts. Additionally, ASOS reported a cyber incident affecting customer data, though operations remain normal. These events highlight that the tech rally is not universal and that regulatory/operational risks are being priced in selectively.
