On Friday, Evercore ISI analyst Mark Lipacis adjusted the price target for Marvell Technology Group Ltd . (NASDAQ:MRVL), reducing it slightly to $133 from the previous target of $135, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the shares. According to InvestingPro data, analyst consensus remains strongly bullish with price targets ranging from $60 to $135, suggesting significant upside potential. Lipacis expressed confidence in Marvell, highlighting the company’s recent financial performance, stating, "We are buyers of MRVL following its Beat and Raise AprQ print."
Marvell Technology has reaffirmed its ongoing projects with two significant XPU customers, which the analyst believes are Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). This reiteration is seen as a positive signal for the company’s future prospects, particularly as InvestingPro data shows revenue growth forecast of 42% for the upcoming fiscal year.
In the realm of AI stocks covered by Evercore ISI, the projected earnings per share (EPS) growth for the year 2025 ranges from 19% to 78%, and the next twelve months’ price-to-earnings (PE) multiples range from 21x to 68x. Marvell stands out in this landscape, as it currently has the lowest PE multiple coupled with the highest expected EPS growth among its peers. With an EPS forecast of $2.83 for fiscal 2026 and a robust gross profit margin of 47.5%, this unique position leads Lipacis to consider Marvell as one of the top risk/reward AI investment opportunities within their coverage. For deeper insights into Marvell’s valuation metrics and growth potential, investors can access the comprehensive Pro Research Report available on InvestingPro.
Lipacis attributes the discrepancy between Marvell’s EPS growth and its PE multiple to the market’s underappreciation of the shift by hyperscalers towards a multi-sourcing XPU strategy. He anticipates that Marvell’s PE ratio will align with those of its AI industry counterparts in the forthcoming year.
The analyst concluded by reiterating the Outperform rating for Marvell, suggesting a positive outlook for the company’s stock performance relative to the market. This stance is based on the expectation of a valuation correction as the company’s growth potential becomes more widely recognized.
