Revenue in its fiscal third quarter of 2026 (ended May 28) came to $41.5 billion, over four times the year-earlier total. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/gaap-vs-non-gaap\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">non-GAAP (adjusted)<\/a> gross margin reached 84.9%, up from 39% a year earlier. And guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended in early September, calls for about $50 billion of revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Yet at about $928 as of this writing, shares cost only about 6 times analysts&#8217; fiscal 2027 earnings estimates, the group&#8217;s lowest price-to-earnings multiple by far. In other words, investors are already betting these margins shrink. After all, memory prices have cycled for decades, and I think some of that doubt is fair.<\/p>\n<p>Selling a business earning at this level seems premature. But this deep into memory&#8217;s profitable stretch, I wouldn&#8217;t put new money in at today&#8217;s price, either.<\/p>\n<p>The ones I&#8217;d buy today<\/p>\n<p>Which of these, then, would I buy and hold through 2030?<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia and Broadcom are my anchors. Both sit where the supply chain&#8217;s most durable profits appear to be. And both can grow into their prices if most of the demand they have guided for shows up.<\/p>\n<p>Marvell is a buy as well, though I&#8217;d keep it the smallest of the three, because more of its growth still has to convert from bookings into revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if AI spending turns down hard before 2030, all four stocks could fall together, whatever their valuation multiples. All four fell between 5% and 10% in a single week this month, so a four-year holder should expect stretches far worse than that. I&#8217;d buy Nvidia, Broadcom, and Marvell today. Micron, I view as a hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The artificial intelligence (AI) build-out has made chip companies some of the fastest-growing large businesses in the world.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[114,85,46],"class_list":["post-620955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
