Marvell's 3.08% Surge Drives $2.1 Billion Volume Ranks 41st in U.S. Liquidity

Marvell Technology (MRVL) surged 3.08% on Sept. 17, 2025, with a trading volume of $2.1 billion, marking a 92.77% increase from the previous day and ranking it 41st among U.S. stocks by liquidity. The chipmaker's performance followed renewed investor focus on its strategic position in AI infrastructure and data center demand.

Analysts highlighted Marvell's recent product roadmap announcements as a catalyst for the rally. The company reiterated its commitment to expanding its portfolio of high-performance computing solutions, aligning with growing enterprise adoption of generative AI technologies. Institutional investors increased exposure to the stock, citing its long-term potential in edge computing and connectivity markets.

Market participants also noted Marvell's competitive positioning against peers in the semiconductor sector. Recent client engagements with hyperscale cloud providers were cited as evidence of sustained order growth, though near-term margin pressures remain a watchpoint for technical analysts monitoring cash flow trends.

To run this back-test rigorously I need a few extra details: 1. Universe — Should we look at all U.S. listed equities (tens of thousands), or restrict to a set such as the current S&P 500 constituents? Do you want ADRs, ETFs, and penny stocks included or excluded? 2. Weighting & rebalancing — Equal-weight the 500 names each day, correct? Enter at that day’s close and exit at next day’s close? 3. Trading frictions — Assume zero commissions/slippage, or apply a bid-ask/commission cost? 4. Benchmark (optional) — Compare against SPY, or no benchmark needed? Let me know your preferences (simple “all U.S. equities, equal weight, zero costs” is perfectly fine if you don’t have strong views).
