Why Marvell Stock Crashed Despite Massive AI Growth

Marvell Technology (MRVL) experienced a stock decline despite raising its revenue target and highlighting strong AI data center demand. The drop was attributed to the Google warrant deal revenue being baked into current forecasts, not as incremental upside, and the stock's significant year-to-date run-up. Analysts expressed uncertainty about its valuation, with some preferring Nvidia at a more attractive valuation.
