The day’s move cannot be attributed solely to the visa proposal.
A rough ceiling using Amazon’s latest 2,661 quarterly approvals is about $275 million. This is not a forecast; petition exemptions matter.
Net sales +20%; AWS sales +37%; operating income +43% year over year.
96.7% of 60 tracked recommendations are buys. Target range: $230–$405.
$27.5 billion of quarterly operating income dwarfs even a high-end fee estimate.
AWS and AI growth raises the value of specialized engineers and researchers.
More roles could shift to graduates already in America or overseas engineering hubs.

Marvell's Google agreement can unlock $120 billion of purchases. The market is now weighing that scale against earnings execution and a warrant worth up to 6.3% of the post-exercise share count.
Every session last week moved at least 5.5%. That is event pricing, not a quiet repricing.
The near-term tape reflects sector caution before two major earnings events. The longer-term debate is Google's purchase ramp.
Calculated at maximum exercise. Most vesting needs $120 billion of purchases through fiscal 2033.
$120B cumulative Google purchase milestones ÷ $8.195B Marvell FY2026 revenue.

Nevada replaced a narrow interim limit with commercial authority for up to 5,000 Tesla robotaxis. The permit removes a regulatory bottleneck. The next valuation test is deployment: inspections, insurance and fare filings still come before paid rides.
