MaxLinear raised its 2026 optical data center outlook a third time, from $150M-$170M to $250M-$270M, as revenue surged 72%. Its pitch: 40% lower transceiver power. In AI clusters, watts saved in optics become watts spent on compute. $MXL $NVDA

$MXL $CRDO It was a word salad.. He said 20-30% but he also said only 1 or 2 US Data centers.. that's not 20-30% .. perhaps he meant 20-30% TAM and maybe 20-30% share only in 1 -2 data centers.. and only the chip not the entire end to end solution .. it's just a startup idea .. its not a given they even remotely come close ..MRVL AVGO news like this already hit CRDO earlier in the year and market realize there was nothing there.. who in their right mind unless they dont care about reliability and the massive costs to bring things back up on GPU/connectivity failures would choose anyone else but $CRDO there is a reason CRDO has 80-85-90%+ market share.. the rest is MRVL and AVGO I think

$MXL options action is wild today Big $1.05M Dec 18 $95 to $100 call buys printed at the ask on InsiderFinance Super speculative and far OTM Feels like a lotto ticket, not a sure bet On the flip side, someone grabbed a $410k Nov 20 $75 put sweep yesterday Hedging hard for earnings Stock's down about 3% today but only around 1% over five days With earnings on Oct 22, this setup screams high IV Might be smart to think about spreads or hedging instead of going all in Risk is definitely on both sides here

$MXL We took a position on 9/17 when this moved into a new positive momentum trend. As longa s the 5-day (green line) was trending abvoe the other moving averages, the uptrend was intact. Now, it looks like there mightbe some weakness in the trend (volume, RSI and MACD), so keeping an eye on it and setting a stop loss alert @ 102.00. It could go sideways for a while to regain momentum

$MXL OK take your pick: 1. $43 Billion in revenue, P/E 20x or 2. $750 Million revenue, P/E -77.43x Choose QCOM instead.

$MXL - Oct to Dec has always been very volatile months, it's the period of the year approaching tax decisions for the jungle. Right now, Wall Street portfolio repositioning and year-end adjustments begin. If you see a stock beaten down with strong 2027 projections and a high OBV like MXL, the jungle wants to add it to their portfolio "cheaply" by the and will use any PR to push the market down and go through retail stops and push margin calls. All the craziness happens from Oct to Dec. It's when you see great stocks drop for no reason like BE because the jungle wants it cheap. On the flip side, they cover their hedge and make money on the short side prior to the stock running in 2027 ... In other words, don't take it personal and don't use margin if you really like a stock ... I usually unwind the trading year and just wait for stocks that have all the tools and strong projections for 2027 and accumulate .... ☮️

$MXL if the Indian guy can buy enough photonic components from China, then maybe they can expand sales. But China is now limiting photonic components exports.

$MXL The entry was when this turned into positive momentum on 9/17. The eit was fopr me 10/8, when there were two gap down opens, on probable higher volume for a nice 31% gain. A new entry alert would be over the 5-day, around 104, IMO
