Look through news articles today, and you'll find plenty of mentions about how today's 138-point gain in the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) was driven almost solely by the Federal Reserve. Certainly, the Fed's quantitative easing policy has generated plenty of attention, as investors worry about whether the Fed's inevitable exit will destabilize the markets. But eventually, shareholders need to see positive results for the companies whose stock they own, and for that to happen, you need business prospects to improve.
That's why the real story behind today's gains come from the companies that released important news. Earlier today, I mentioned Merck's promising results for its early trial cancer treatment, but that wasn't the only one of the Dow's 28 winners today that made meaningful announcements today. Disney (NYSE: DIS ) climbed more than 1% after it decided that U.S. consumers had the financial resources to pay higher prices to go to Disneyworld or Disneyland, with price increases ranging from 5% to almost 10%. Pricing power is a key element of business success, and in Disney's case, it reflects well on consumers' finances.

Nomura Equity Research chip analyst Romit Shah today reiterates a Neutral rating on shares of chip maker Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), though he sounds fairly enthusiastic about the company’s prospects for next year based on the company’s newly unveiled cellular modem device for so-called LTE networks for fourth-generation (4G) wireless.
Marvell yesterday said that its “PXA1801” is the first single semiconductor to support multiple flavors of LTE (frequency division duplexing and time division duplexing) as well as existing “HSPA+” 3G and 4G networking standards, and the “CDMA” standard used by non-GSM carriers, such as Verizon Communications (VZ), not to mention the “TD-SCDMA” standard that was developed by the China for use on its networks.
Shah writes that, “Marvell is ahead of competition (ST-Ericsson and Broadcom (BRCM)) in bringing an integrated TD LTE modem to the market and seems to have narrowed the gap with Qualcomm (QCOM) in LTE leadership. In addition, we believe, this product launch would help Marvell in maintaining its leadership in the China’s growing TD-SCDMA opportunity.” The LTE baseband market is expected to rise from 8 million or so units this year to 50 million in 2013, notes Shah, citing Gartner data. That market may be worth $1 billion to $1.5 billion by 2014, he thinks.
Marvell shares are down 12 cents, or 0.9%, today at $13.38.
