CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows: We up our 12-month target price to $94 from $84 on a higher revised P/E of 34.8x our CY 25 EPS view, above peers but within five-year historical forward average. We adjust our FY 25 (Jan.) EPS view to $1.82 from $2.31 and FY 26 to $2.70 from $2.79. MRVL posts Jan-Q EPS of $0.46 vs. $0.46, matching the consensus. Although MRVL again provided disappointing guidance, we finally believe non data center markets are set to bottom in the Apr-Q at extremely depressed levels, with steeper seq. declines in carrier (-50%), enterprise networking (-40%), and consumer (-70%). All end-markets are poised to recover thereafter. AI-related revenue drove data center upside, up 54% (+38% seq.), and we think its pipeline offers upside given opportunities tied to its Optics

Marvell Technology’s Forecast Wasn’t Great. Analyst Says ‘Buy on Weakness.’ — Barrons.com

By Emily Dattilo Marvell Technology’s financial outlook was disappointing for investors, but Wall Street strategists are recommending patience. When the semiconductor firm reported fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday, it said it expects revenue with a midpoint of $1.15 billion for the current quarter, lower than the $1.38 billion analysts had penciled in. “While we are forecasting soft demand impacting consumer, carrier infrastructure, and enterprise networking in the near term, we expect revenue declines in these end markets to be behind us after the first quarter, and project a recovery in the second half of the fiscal year,” CEO Matt Murphy said. Traders weren’t thrilled with the guidance, sending shares down 6% to $80.02 in premarket trading. Meanwhile, analysts channeled a more long-term and upbeat view. Needham researchers led by N. Quinn Bolton raised their price target on shares to $95 from $65 and maintained a Buy rating in a Friday report.
