Citi added an "upside 30-day catalyst watch" on shares of Marvell Technology into the Consumer Electronics Show. Citi views the concerns around XPU competition at two hyperscale customers as "misguided" and sees the post-earnings selloff in the shares as a buying opportunity. Marvell will highlight the growing adoption of scale-up networking at CES, the analyst tells investors in a research note. After meeting with management, the firm has increased conviction that Marvell will see accelerating sales growth in 2026 and 2027, driven by artificial intelligence data centers. It keeps a Buy rating on the shares with a $114 price target.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse lowered the firm's price target on Marvell to $100 from $110 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The SOX is positioned to lead markets higher after outperforming the S&P by roughly 30 points in CY25, supported by the early stages of the AI era driving demand across compute, networking, memory, and equipment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While cyclical factors may create mixed signals, the macro backdrop and expected exponential growth in AI infrastructure spending support a long position in the SOX and overweight exposure to AI-related plays into CY26, the firm says.

BofA analyst Vivek Arya lowered the firm's price target on Marvell to $95 from $105 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm is updating its price targets for U.S. Semiconductor stocks under its coverage, the analyst tells investors. BofA views 2026 as a midpoint for an 8 to 10 year journey upgrading traditional IT infrastructure for faster, AI workloads. While stocks may remain choppy amid greater scrutiny of AI returns and hyperscaler cash flows, this should be offset by faster large language model builders and AI factories, the firm adds.
