10x Research: There is still a rising market this year, but the timing of entry is crucial

06:41 AM EDT, 10/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- RWE Chief Executive Markus Krebber said any involvement by the German utility in Uniper would be limited after RWE and KKR (KKR) submitted a joint non-binding bid for the state-owned energy company, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. RWE is not targeting a takeover, given its significant position in Germany's energy market, Krebber said in an interview with Bloomberg. RWE did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

October 7 - Marvell Technology (MRVL.O) on Tuesday raised its fiscal 2028 revenue forecast to around $20 billions, beating Wall Street expectations, as surging artificial intelligence spending drives growing demand for the company’s custom data center chips. At least 11 analysts have raised their price targets; the median target price among 45 brokerages covering the stock is $325, according to Reuters data. Full speed ahead: Morgan Stanley (rated “Neutral”, target price $300) said the company's long-term targets are achievable in a potential $3 trillion AI infrastructure spending environment, but cautioned that the projected 55%-70% growth leaves almost no room for execution errors, setting a high bar for quarterly results. JPMorgan (“Overweight”, target price $360) noted: "The company is operating at full speed, and the upgraded outlook is not limited to a single product category or customer, but is supported by multiple growth drivers across the data center full stack.” TD Cowen (“Buy”, target price $350) stated that Marvell’s underlying growth momentum has fully shifted to its robust connectivity business, and the risks associated with its custom XPU projects have substantially eased. Melius Research (“Buy”, target price $445) believes that Marvell's market capitalization could reach $1 trillion if the company executes as planned.
