Qualcomm rated Buy over Marvell despite Marvell's stronger AI business due to better risk-adjusted upside.

Qualcomm is rated as a Buy and Marvell as a Hold because Qualcomm offers a superior risk-adjusted upside despite Marvell having a stronger current AI business. Qualcomm's valuation is more forgiving of margin and execution misses, with a price target of $298 by FY2029, implying 69% upside. Marvell's valuation assumes near-perfect execution and faces uncertainties around its $120 billion Google opportunity, including revenue timing, margin structure, and dilution risks. Qualcomm's partnership with Amazon enhances its credibility in data-center diversification, though both companies face margin pressure due to lower profitability in custom AI silicon compared to software.
