Marvell Technology: Don't Get Tempted By The 42% Dip

  • Marvell Technology, Inc. is relatively cheap, but not worth buying at current levels; we maintain Sell rating on the stock. Street expectations for Marvell's AI revenue growth are unrealistically high for 40% Y/Y growth and scaling its custom AI ASIC business will come at cost of margins. Gross margins are under pressure due to the expansion of the lower-margin ASIC business, and its other two recovering segments are not strong enough to offset this contraction.
