Marvell Technology, Broadcom, GameStop And More: 5 Stocks Investors Couldn't Stop Buzzing About This Week

Retail investors talked up five hot stocks this week (June 1 to June 5) on X and Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets, driven by retail hype, earnings, AI infrastructure momentum, and corporate/geopolitical news flow.

Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD), GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME), and Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU), spanning semiconductors, software/cloud, AI chips, cybersecurity, gaming, and cloud and hardware infrastructure, reflected strong retail interest.

Marvell Technology

• Marvell had a high-impact week driven by AI momentum. On June 1, the company announced the availability of its industry’s first 102.4 Tbps Teralynx T100 switch, purpose-built for AI and cloud data center infrastructure. The biggest catalyst came on June 2 at COMPUTEX 2026, when Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang praised Marvell as the “next trillion-dollar company” due to its critical role in AI data center connectivity and orchestration—this triggered a massive stock surge.

• Retail investors were bullish on MRVL. An investor who suffered losses on his portfolio this week was considering shifting all his holdings to MRVL, calling it a “steady” stock.

• The stock had a 52-week range of $61.44 to $324.20, trading around $305 to $317 per share, as of the publication of this article. It was up 377.27% over the year, higher by 222.26% over the last six months, and 272.36% year-to-date.

• MRVL had a strong price trend in the medium, short, and long term, with a solid growth ranking, as per Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings.

Broadcom

• Broadcom reported record revenue of $22.187 billion, up 48% year-over-year, beating estimates, with AI semiconductor revenue at $10.8 billion, up 143% YoY, strong margins, and third-quarter guidance of ~$29.4 billion; it also raised full-year AI revenue targets. Despite the beat, shares plunged on investor disappointment over unchanged full-year AI chip forecasts, weaker software sales, and high expectations. Earlier in the week, at COMPUTEX, Broadcom highlighted AI Edge innovations, including 50G PON, Wi-Fi 8 solutions, and a Samsung collaboration for 5G/Wi-Fi 8 fixed wireless access.

• Some retail investors were frustrated at how AVGO earnings dragged down other tech stocks this week.

• The stock had a 52-week range of $241.11 to $495.00, trading around $410 to $419 per share, as of the publication of this article. It advanced by 60.45% over the year and 9.94% in the last six months. The stock was also up 21.04% YTD.

• AVGO had a strong price trend in the short, medium, and long terms, with a poor value ranking as per Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings.

CrowdStrike Holdings

• CrowdStrike reported revenue of $1.39 billion, up ~26% year-over-year, beating estimates, with adjusted EPS of $1.10, record net new ARR of $256 million, strong cash flow, and a raised full-year guidance; it also announced a 4-for-1 stock split (effective July) and appointed a new Chief AI Officer. Despite the solid beat and AI momentum, shares fell as billings growth and guidance failed to fully meet elevated expectations amid high valuation concerns.

• Retail investors praised CRWD’s recovery following it post earnings slump.

• The stock had a 52-week range of $342.72 to $785.66, trading around $711 to $720 per share, as of the publication of this article. It advanced 56.13% over the year and 40.14% in the last six months. The stock gained 53.40% YTD.

• Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings showed that CRWD had a strong price trend in the long, short, and medium terms.

GameStop

• GameStop released its first quarter 2026 results on June 2, reporting record quarterly net income of $389.6 million, net sales of $835.3 million, up 14% YoY, driven by collectibles, and high operating income. The company also announced a new $2.0 billion discretionary share repurchase authorization, through 2029, replacing the prior one. Ongoing eBay stake-building and takeover speculation from prior weeks continued as background context, with no major new developments in this window.

• Retail investors on Reddit were super bullish on their favorite stock following GameStop’s strong earnings.

• The stock had a 52-week range of $19.93 to $30.61, trading around $21 to $23 per share, as of the publication of this article. It was down 25.64% over the year, lower by 2.96% over the last six months, and up 10.01% year-to-date.

• GME maintains a weak price trend over the long, short, and medium terms, as per Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, with a solid value score.

Lululemon

• LULU reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results after the close on June 4. Revenue rose 4% to ~$2.5 billion, with EPS of $1.69, but net income dropped sharply; comparable sales were weak in North America, and the company cited negative online buzz and disappointing product launches. It fell to an eight-year low in the aftermarket on Thursday, as it lowered full-year guidance.

• Several investors felt that Michael Burry was fooling the market by recommending LULU and making money off his Substack subscriptions.

• The stock had a 52-week range of $116.63 to $338.49, trading around $108 to $125 per share, as of the publication of this article. It declined by 62.73% over the year, and 31.96% over the last six months, and 39.89% YTD.

• According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, LULU was maintaining a weak price trend over the short, medium, and long terms, with a solid quality score.

Retail focus blended AI infrastructure momentum, earnings beats, and geopolitical news-driven narratives with broader market action during the week.
