I am upgrading to a “Strong Buy” rating on Marvell Technology, driven by their custom silicon products supporting Amazon's Trainium AI chips and Alphabet's AI developments. Amazon's Trainium2, supported by Marvell, offers significant cost and performance advantages, potentially competing with Nvidia's AI chips and driving Marvell's revenue growth. Marvell anticipates $1.5 billion in AI-related revenue for FY25 and $2.5 billion for FY26, with strong growth in their custom silicon business.
CNBC's Jim Cramer delivers his daily Mad Dash.
Marvell Technologies is working with big tech to price custom ASIC solutions. This sets up the company well if the tech companies decide to scale up their new AI projects.
Investors looking to capitalize on the booming demand for AI servers should consider taking a closer look at these two stocks that are set to deliver impressive growth.
While MRVL's exposure to China and elevated valuation are legitimate concerns, its promising product pipeline and efficient execution make the stock worth holding on to.
Marvell's data center revenue soared 92% year-over-year in Q2, now making up 69% of total revenue. Marvell capitalizes on AI demand with custom silicon solutions, targeting a $421 billion AI market by 2033. The giant introduced the industry's first 1.6 Tbps DSP and 800G DSPs, enhancing data transfer speeds for AI workloads.
Marvell Technology's AI networking and custom compute chips are well-positioned to bolster its AI growth inflection prospects. It faces tough competition against Broadcom while attempting to gain more share against customers adopting merchant silicon. However, increasingly expensive AI training requirements could compel tier-one hyperscalers to turn to Marvell's custom AI compute and networking portfolio.
Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Marvell (MRVL). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.
Marvell's diverse end markets provide diversification, but until this last quarter, the strong data center growth has been more than offset by weakness in other end markets. With management confidently stating that enterprise networking and carrier markets have bottomed and sequential growth anticipated, most of Marvell's business is now moving in the same positive direction. I see strong upside for the second half due to better-than-expected custom silicon ramps and optics business.
Shares of Marvell Technology Inc (MRVL, Financial) surged 3.26% in mid-day trading on Oct 2. The stock reached an intraday high of $72.87, before settling at $72.60, up from its previous close of $70.31.
Marvell Technology's stock has not made a great deal of progress since we last covered it and is effectively down by 9%. We are now revising our rating from a HOLD to a BUY. The AI-related momentum is proving to be better than expected, whilst the non-data center related segments have stabilized and are looking to grow from a low base.
Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU)'s data center strength demonstrated in its latest quarterly results is a “positive read across” for other chipmakers, including NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, ETR:NVD), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO, ETR:1YD), Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MRVL) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, ETR:AMD), analysts at the Bank of America believe.
