We’re Calling Bullpen and Cutting Another Stock That’s Losing Its Taste


Action Alert PLUS Byre name Marvell Technology (MRVL) revealed on Thursday evening mixed quarterly results. The guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations – especially at the bottom line, where it calls for earnings per share of $0.24-0.34 versus the consensus forecast of $0.41 for the current quarter.

Driving those lower expectations are inventory adjustments across data center, enterprise networks, and service provider infrastructure end markets, as well as stepping up to score some wins. certain design. But most of that is expected to improve in the coming quarters, with the current quarter seen as the weakest profit performance of the year. In response, we see several downside price targets to the $50-$60 range from $55-$70.

Despite that guidance and goal, MRVL stock is not a substitute for that EPS guidance as one might expect. We see a similarity to what is happening with our ChargePoint stock (CHPT) , fell to a double-digit low, but then rebounded. We take this as an indication that the market largely recognizes the short-term difficulty ahead and with today’s further move lower, the market has most priced it into MRVL stock. Essentially a boost in the expected rebound in revenue growth. One potential headwind that could emerge in the coming months is the company’s Chinese customer base, which has fallen below 10% of the company’s total revenue in recent quarters. As China continues to reopen, which we saw in the February Manufacturing PMI data released earlier this week, the resumption of demand could accelerate Marvell’s revenue recovery.

We could see some market disruption ahead, especially as we move closer to the Fed’s March policy meeting. It’s a very short-term thing, but as we discussed on Thursday, our intention with MRVL stock is to review 12-24 months. The crux of our thesis revolves around the continued creation and consumption of content that will drive network traffic growth, driving demand for incremental capacity and other solutions. Pointing out that growing demand calls for increased network density and continued digital infrastructure building, Ericsson (ERIC) saw average global monthly usage per smartphone reach 46 gigabytes (GB) by the end of 2028 compared to 19 GB in 2023 and 15 GB in 2022.

We recognize a risk here that we are still a little early in calling MRVL stock bullish from Bullpen, but we also recognize that timing a stock’s bottom is extremely difficult. Another challenge is that the expected inventory burn-in takes longer than expected. If that happens, we could see MRVL stock rally over the next six months or so.

With that in mind, we will start with a small position on MRVL stock, with a price target of $52 and a rating of “Two”. In keeping with that rating, we’ll look to build positions on weakness in stock prices or signs that end-of-market demand is growing faster than expected. From a technical perspective, MRVL stock has support at $40-$41 even stronger support at $38and we will look more positively on stocks near $38 if that happens.

As we make this move, we will continue to use the McCormick & Co. Ranked Four (MKC) as a means of funding.

After you receive this Notice, we will perform the following transactions:

— Selling 230 shares of McCormick & Co. for or near $72.60. After the transaction, MCK will account for about 1% of the portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 410 shares of Marvell Technology at or near $42.50. After the transaction, MRVL will account for about 0.5% of the portfolio’s assets.

(Please note that we are looking to make these trades at or close to the stock prices mentioned above. After the transaction is completed, the subscriber can see the strike price of the transaction This. Make sure to convert the chart to sort by Purchase Date.)
