First is its networking equipment, which helps direct the flow of information around a data center. The second is its custom AI chips, which are designed around workloads that the clients ordering them are seeing. If that sounds like a familiar business analysis, that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s similar to <strong>Broadcom<\/strong>, which has basically the same business model (with some other offerings as well). That makes it a perfect comparison for Marvell stock.<\/p>\n<section class=\"shadow-card mb-[40px] border border-gray-300\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-wrap place-content-between\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full place-items-center lg:w-3\/4\">\n<div class=\"py-4 pr-4\"><img alt=\"Marvell Technology Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g.foolcdn.com\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Fart%2Fcompanylogos%2Fmark%2FMRVL.png&amp;w=64&amp;op=resize 1x, https:\/\/g.foolcdn.com\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Fart%2Fcompanylogos%2Fmark%2FMRVL.png&amp;w=128&amp;op=resize 2x\" src=\"https:\/\/g.foolcdn.com\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Fart%2Fcompanylogos%2Fmark%2FMRVL.png&amp;w=128&amp;op=resize\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full place-items-center lg:w-1\/4\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-5\/6 px-4 py-2.5 lg:text-right bg-red-200\">\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(<!-- -->-7.21<!-- -->%) $<!-- -->-15.09<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$<!-- -->194.23<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-wrap transition-all duration-300 h-0 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"w-full p-2 lg:w-1\/4 lg:p-4\">\n<h3 class=\"text-gray-1100 text-md my-3 leading-snug font-bold uppercase\">Key Data Points<\/h3>\n<div class=\"text-gray-1100 grid grid-cols-2 text-sm [&amp;&gt;*:nth-last-child(-n+2)]:border-b-0\">\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1\">$170B<span class=\"inline-flex shrink-0 align-middle\"><button type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"radix-_R_r3ab5tminr5uamivb_\" data-state=\"closed\" data-slot=\"popover-trigger\" class=\"inline-flex cursor-pointer items-center rounded-sm text-gray-500 hover:text-gray-700 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:outline-cyan-600\" aria-label=\"Market cap calculation methodology\" aria-describedby=\"_R_13ab5tminr5uamivb_\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\"><default:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"w-3 h-3 text-black\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><default:path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M256 32a224 224 0 1 1 0 448 224 224 0 1 1 0-448zm0 480A256 256 0 1 0 256 0a256 256 0 1 0 0 512zM208 352c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16s7.2 16 16 16h96c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16s-7.2-16-16-16H272V240c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16H216c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16s7.2 16 16 16h24v96H208zm48-168a24 24 0 1 0 0-48 24 24 0 1 0 0 48z\"\/><\/default:svg><\/span><\/button><span id=\"_R_13ab5tminr5uamivb_\" class=\"sr-only\">Market cap calculated using publicly traded shares outstanding only.

On the flip side, Broadcom claims <strong>Alphabet<\/strong>, <strong>Meta Platforms<\/strong>, OpenAI, and Anthropic as clients. While the names of these clients are comparable, Broadcom&#8217;s clients have been more aggressive in ordering custom AI chips, leading to great revenue.<\/p>\n<p>This shows up in projections &#8212; Marvell&#8217;s aren&#8217;t nearly as aggressive as Broadcom&#8217;s. Wall Street analysts expect 41% revenue growth this fiscal year, and 45% next year, with next year&#8217;s overall revenue totaling $16.7 billion. Analysts expect 66% growth this year and 63% next year for Broadcom, with its revenue reaching $172 billion. That&#8217;s a major size and performance advantage for Broadcom, yet its stock is valued far lower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/AVGO\/chart\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img alt=\"AVGO PE Ratio (Forward) Chart\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"456\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent;max-width:720px\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 320w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 384w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 640w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 750w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 828w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 1080w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 1200w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/ca6cbaf4129a17381713b9f124d74d08.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/AVGO\/forward_pe_ratio\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AVGO PE Ratio (Forward);<\/a> data by <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YCharts; PE = price to earnings.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, with Broadcom having much higher expectations, yet trading at a far cheaper price tag, I think investors should be less focused on Marvell Technology and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/broadcom-stock-forecast\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\">more focused on Broadcom<\/a>.
