The analyst expresses a bearish outlook on Broadcom and Marvell due to increasing competition in the ASIC design business from fabs like Intel and smaller Taiwanese design houses.

The post highlights that Marvell is particularly vulnerable due to its higher revenue concentration in ASIC design deals compared to Broadcom.
