Stifel maintains Buy on Marvell stock, reiterates $80 price target

On Wednesday, Stifel analysts maintained their Buy rating and $80.00 price target for Marvell Technology Group Ltd . (NASDAQ:MRVL), a semiconductor company. Trading at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 43.4x and currently showing high price volatility, the stock has seen a 29% decline over the past six months. The firm’s analysts project that the April quarter results will align with their revenue estimate of $1.875 billion. This outlook comes after Marvell adjusted its guidance to a narrower range of +/-2%, a change from the previous +/-5%, following the rescheduling of its Investor Day to June 10.

The analysts anticipate that Marvell could offer a July quarter revenue guidance with a midpoint close to Stifel’s current $1.97 billion estimate. They also suggest the possibility of an upward revision, citing potential increases in data center and artificial intelligence (DC/AI) revenue forecasts based on peer commentary. Recent positive statements from hyperscalers further support the analysts’ optimistic view.

Stifel’s analysts reaffirm their Buy rating and 12-month price target of $80, which is based on a 7.7x multiple of Marvell’s estimated calendar year 2026 enterprise value to sales. They believe Marvell is well-positioned to benefit from the rapid expansion of data infrastructure, which they see as a long-term growth driver for the company.
