On August 13, MaxLinear rose 5.25% in regular trading, trading at $78.23 per share, with turnover of $51.32 million. The stock continued its upward momentum following the release of two new smart electronic fuse (eFuse) devices targeting hyperscale data center power protection and telemetry applications.

The new eFuse products mark MaxLinear's strategic expansion from AI compute chip support into broader AI infrastructure control plane solutions. The global eFuse market is estimated at approximately $1 billion with continued growth expected. Additionally, the company previously signed a memorandum of understanding with Everspin Technologies to evaluate MRAM technology integration with MaxLinear's storage compression and encryption platform for AI server applications, further strengthening its AI infrastructure positioning.

The broader storage and optical communication sector provided tailwinds, with SK hynix rising 8.16%, Micron Technology up 6.9%, Intel up 6.38%, and Credo Technology also advancing alongside MaxLinear. Analysts had previously raised price targets following MaxLinear's Q2 results, which beat estimates with adjusted EPS of $0.35 versus $0.33 expected, on revenue of $168.8 million versus $164.6 million expected.
