Marvell Technology Surges 2.51% on $1.06 Billion Trading Volume 76th in Session Activity as Analysts Forecast 123% EPS Growth

Marvell Technology (MRVL) rose 2.51% on August 22, 2025, with a trading volume of $1.06 billion, marking a 51.29% increase from the prior day. The stock ranks 76th in trading activity for the session. Analysts anticipate Marvell’s Q2 earnings to show 123% year-over-year EPS growth and 58% revenue growth, reflecting its position as one of the fastest-growing large-cap semiconductor firms. The company’s focus on custom AI chips and cloud infrastructure has positioned it as a key player in the AI-driven infrastructure sector, despite broader market volatility.

Marvell’s strategic emphasis on infrastructure-level technologies, such as 2nm custom silicon and optical interconnects, differentiates it from GPU-centric competitors. Recent partnerships with hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon highlight its role in enabling large-scale AI deployments. While the company reported a FY2025 net loss of $885 million, robust free cash flow generation and aggressive R&D spending (30.48% of revenue in 2025) underscore its long-term growth potential. Analysts project a valuation improvement as AI investments mature, with a forward P/E ratio expected to decline from 47.88x in 2025 to 16.26x by 2029.

Q2 earnings guidance forecasts $2 billion in revenue, with data center demand driving growth. However, risks include hyperscaler dependency and macroeconomic challenges in China and global trade. Marvell’s current valuation, trading at 25x forward earnings, appears undervalued compared to peers like NVIDIA (41.1x) and AMD (96.53x). Investors will closely watch the company’s ability to sustain revenue momentum and improve margins amid evolving market dynamics.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to now delivered moderate returns. The CAGR was 6.98%, with a maximum drawdown of 15.59% during the backtest period. The strategy demonstrated steady growth over time, making it a robust choice for investors seeking consistent returns. However, the significant drawdown in mid-2023 highlights the importance of risk management in high-volume trading strategies.
