Two AI Infrastructure Plays Set to Outpace Palantir

Celestica and Marvell Technology offer stronger growth potential than Palantir over five years through AI infrastructure expansion.

Palantir’s AI story is well-known, but its slower earnings growth and compressed valuation suggest limited upside. Celestica, a smaller player focused on designing and manufacturing AI data center hardware, is growing fast and recently raised its outlook. Its partnerships with AMD and Google give it credibility, but it still needs both earnings growth and market multiple expansion to deliver big returns. Marvell Technology looks even more promising. It’s carved a niche supplying custom silicon and optical interconnects critical for AI data centers, and with Nvidia’s $2 billion backing, its earnings could multiply by 6x in the coming decade. For South African investors, these names don’t trade locally, but tracking USD/ZAR will be important as any tech-driven dollar strength could pressure the rand. Locally, the big tech exposure via Naspers and Prosus remains the go-to for AI themes, though neither matches Marvell’s pure-play infrastructure exposure. The risk? AI hype could cool, hurting valuations across the board. But for disciplined investors, these infrastructure companies look better positioned than Palantir to ride the AI infrastructure wave. this is just our opinion and not financial advice
