Imagine Celestial ($MRVL acquisition) was public.
The valuation would probably be astronomical in US markets (if I had to guess, $6-10B)
Because 2028 revenue projections were $500m (q4 annualized runrate), 2029 revenue projections were $1B.
And because Celestial is a core part of hyperscaler CPO programs.
Celestial's 2026 Q2 earnings would have been:
- Close to $0 revenue (Marvell said "revenue and earnings since the acquisition were not material")
- Losing -$12.5M/quarter ($50M/year)
Would people who knew what they were talking about looking at qualification cycle players say...
1. based on Celestial's Q2 P/S numbers and because it was losing -$12.5M a quarter... That it's a worthless meme stock?
Or
2. with CPO hyperscaler opportunities for 2028, it should be valued at $6-10B?
And I think that's a core cultural disagreement between US / EU cultures + markets.
If you knew how to evaluate qualification cycle players, which number actually matters? I'd argue overwhelmingly the latter.
