We're Making the Call: AT&T, Wells Fargo in, Dell Out of Bullpen

Several quarters ago we shared our view that continued adoption of internet and streaming across the globe, paired with rising AI adoption and usage would congest networks and lead to incremental spending to add more capacity. We’ve seen several confirmation points, including the rebound in networking demand at Marvell  (MRVL)  and others, but AT&T  (T)  is now joining in a big way.

AT&T announced it will spend more than $250 ​billion over five years in the U.S. to expand its network infrastructure as it ramps investments to support surging data demand. 

The reason?

Rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and connected devices has prompted telecom operators to invest heavily in fiber and 5G networks ​as they also seek to fend off intensifying competition from cable broadband providers.

We see that as more reasons to be remain bullish on shares of Marvell and newly One rated Broadcom  (AVGO)
