Healthcare was the only sector that declined, Oppenheimer added. Nine out of 11 sectors reported earnings growth in double digits or higher.Energy remained on top in terms of revenue growth, at 42% followed by technology and financials.Strong second-quarter results and data including the Conference Board's Leading Economic Index that rebounded in July helped offset negative sentiment, Oppenheimer Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Stoltzfus said in a note to clients. "That said, key stateside stock indexes slipped last week across sectors, market capitalizations, and style."The Nasdaq Composite, the S&P 500, and the Dow Jones Industrial declined 2.1%, 1.4%, and 0.9% last week, respectively."In our view, the courage of an investor's convictions, a tolerance for risk, an appetite for opportunity along with right-sized expectations are key to navigating through periods of transition," Stoltzfus wrote.Another 18 S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report earnings this week, including technology bellwether Nvidia (NVDA), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Salesforce (CRM) and Marvell Technology (MRVL).Price: $209.27, Change: $-5.45, Percent Change: -2.54%

Marvell Technology Likely to Post Slight Q2 Beat, RBC Says

Marvell Technology (MRVL) is expected to deliver a fiscal Q2 beat and raise its Q3 guidance, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Wednesday. The Q2 results are due Aug. 27."We are looking for a slight beat and 2-4% raise, driven primarily by Optical," the report said, adding that Custom XPU trends also appear solid although tight wafer supply could limit near-term upside.The note said Marvell has room to raise its fiscal 2028 revenue forecasts by about 5%, driven by continued strength in its Optical business and Amazon (AMZN) deals.The report also said recent supply agreement with Alphabet's (GOOG) Google is a "significant" positive because it has a total addressable market of over $80 billion, outweighing lingering share shift concerns at Amazon."We believe premium valuation is justified," the note said, pointing to custom XPU wins at three US hyperscalers, optical connectivity leadership, and greenfield pipeline opportunities.RBC kept its outperform rating and a $360 price target.Price: $243.50, Change: $+6.22, Percent Change: +2.62%
