Analog Century Management’s $2.1B Hedge Fund Rotates Out of Memory and Chip Tools, Adds ARM, Akamai, Marvell

The Market Context in 60 Seconds
  1. 01 Val Zlatev's Analog Century Management, a $2.1B hard-tech hedge fund founded in 2018, filed its Q1 2026 13F-HR with the SEC on May 15, 2026.
  2. 02 Portfolio value rose three percent quarter-over-quarter, from $2.03B on December 31, 2025 to $2.09B on March 31, 2026, with name count moving from 24 to 25 after seven full exits and ten share-count reductions.
  3. 03 Top five positions: NVIDIA $131M (+2%), Lumentum Holdings $111M (-53%), Broadcom $110M (+36%), Akamai Technologies $106M (new), Advanced Energy Industries $105M (-30%).
  4. 04 New buys: Arm Holdings $105M, Akamai $106M, VIAVI Solutions $92M, STMicroelectronics $81M, Silicon Motion $60M, Marvell $38M, plus adds in Broadcom (+36%) and Astera Labs (+63%). Cuts and exits: Micron -60%, Applied Materials -31%, Tower Semiconductor -43%, full exits in KLA, Camtek, Monolithic Power Systems, ON Semiconductor, Allegro MicroSystems, Universal Display, and TE Connectivity.
  5. 05 Watch: whether Arm Holdings and Akamai builds press past $150M into the top three, whether the Micron position continues to a full exit, and whether any AI-power name (Constellation Energy, Vistra, GE Vernova, Talen Energy, Bloom Energy) enters the portfolio in Q2 2026.

What to Watch

AI infrastructure sizing. Will Arm, Akamai, Marvell, and other new AI-related positions become core holdings, or remain smaller tactical allocations?

Memory and chip equipment exposure. After sharp reductions in Micron, Applied Materials, and other semiconductor equipment names, the next filing will show whether Analog Century is completing an exit or resetting exposure ahead of the next cycle.

AI power exposure. Unlike many recent tech-focused 13Fs, Analog Century has no dedicated AI-power allocation. Future filings may show whether the thesis expands beyond semiconductors.
