Bank of America just raised its EUR/USD forecast
On Thursday, Benchmark analyst Cody Acree maintained a Buy rating on Marvell Technology Group Ltd . (NASDAQ:MRVL) with a steady price target of $135.00. Following the company’s after-hours trading session, Marvell’s shares experienced a sharp decline, dropping as much as 15%. According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading at $75.01, with analyst targets ranging from $90 to $188, suggesting significant potential upside despite recent volatility. This significant fall was attributed to the company’s guidance, which only slightly exceeded consensus expectations, with revenue and EPS forecasts surpassing by a mere $10 million and $0.01, respectively.
Acree noted that, despite the immediate negative reaction to the company’s modest guidance, the current pessimism might have already been factored into Marvell’s stock price. He highlighted that Marvell’s shares have been underperforming compared to its peers, citing a 17.8% decline over the past month and an 18.4% drop year-to-date, in contrast to Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) 6% and 12.7% respective declines in the same periods. Marvell’s performance was also paralleled by Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), which saw similar declines. InvestingPro analysis shows that despite recent underperformance, the company has delivered a strong 36.35% return over the past six months, with 8 additional exclusive ProTips available for subscribers.
The broader context of the AI sector has been impacted by growing investor concerns over tariffs and increased foreign trade restrictions. However, Acree suggested that Marvell’s report contained several positive aspects that could rekindle investor interest in both the company and the AI industry at large.
In his commentary, Acree encouraged investors to view the current dip in Marvell’s stock price as a buying opportunity, emphasizing the potential for growth. He justified the $135 price target by applying a multiple of 36 times the firm’s new fiscal year 2027 earnings per share estimate of $3.71, which corresponds to a two-year average forward PEG ratio of just 0.65x. InvestingPro data reveals that while the company currently trades at high EBITDA and revenue multiples, analysts expect profitability to improve, with net income projected to grow this year.
