Marvell Technology Is Heavily Insulated From Consumer Weakness, Can Outperform Peers In Broader Chip Sector

• Wells Fargo analyst Gary Mobley reiterated Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ: MRVL) with an Overweight with a $58 price target.

• While MRVL will not be able to avoid global macro pressures altogether, he believes the company is heavily insulated from the consumer weakness most pronounced in the current macro softness.

• When the global economy does find more sure footing, he believes MRVL's fundamentals and share price can outperform peers' in the broader chip sector.

• Mobley expects MRVL to post above-consensus October quarter results and January quarter guidance.

• The price target is near the lower end of MRVL's prior two-year valuation parameters. Still, it represents a premium to SOX index current multiples, perhaps justified by MRVL's above-average EPS growth.

• More specifically, he believes the SOX index should trade at 20.0x a normalized EPS level (versus trading well below 20.0x NTM EPS as investors discounted EPS cuts).

• His assumption that MRVL trades at a premium to the SOX is consistent with his messaging.

• Price Action: MRVL shares traded higher by 1.43% at $42.15 on the last check Tuesday.
