Marvell Technology GroupMRVLBUYOct 30, 2026Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Oct 30, 2026. Market Open.
Still owns it. Be careful which tech stocks you own now--some are slumping, some not. Marvell has $10 of earnings power by 2027. NVDA invested in them. Their optical business is poised to grow 50% the next few years. Their custom ASIC business-- they have an 80% market share with Broadcom--is expected to grow from 20% to 100% share. Is up 218% this year and trades at 27x, not cheap, but it is growing.
AVGO is like the smaller cousin of NVDA. Built GOOG's AI program, increasingly making waves with Anthropic (owns Claude). Interesting, but not a shoot-the-lights-out opportunity. He'd buy.
MRVL is trying to take a share of the chips that go into GOOG, and is already involved with AMZN cloud. Be careful. It's not a given that it's a capable designer of cutting-edge chips. Coin flip. We've been fooled before.
NVDA is actually more interesting than both.
He wouldn't be surprised if they announced on Monday a deal to buy Lumentum, which would be one of the largest tech deals ever. MRVL shares have been higher since the CEO held an analysts' meeting on Oct. 6 to announce plans to dominate the fibre (optic) portion of the data centre, with fibre inevitably replacing copper.
