Shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) reached $324.41 during Wednesday’s premarket session, representing a roughly 13% increase following Tuesday’s historic 32.5% rally — the company’s strongest single-day performance ever recorded.
Marvell Technology, Inc., MRVL
The extraordinary price movement began after Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang publicly announced at Taipei’s Computex event that he expects Marvell to become “the next trillion-dollar company.” Speaking alongside Marvell’s CEO Matthew Murphy on stage, Huang highlighted the semiconductor firm’s networking and connectivity solutions as essential building blocks for next-generation AI infrastructure.
Nvidia has reinforced this vote of confidence through a substantial $2 billion capital investment in Marvell. This strategic partnership enables enterprise customers to integrate components from both technology leaders to construct tailored AI infrastructure platforms.
During his Computex presentation — entitled “The Future of AI Scaling Depends on Connectivity” — Murphy outlined Marvell’s strategic position within the expanding data center and artificial intelligence investment landscape. Stifel’s analyst Tore Svanberg characterized the keynote as a “high-production reaffirmation” of the investment thesis his firm has maintained regarding Marvell.
Year-to-date in 2026, MRVL stock has more than tripled in value. Tuesday’s 32.5% surge slightly surpassed the company’s previous record established in May 2023.
Potential S&P 500 Addition
Following Tuesday’s close, Marvell commanded a market valuation of $254.38 billion, making it overwhelmingly the largest publicly traded company excluded from the S&P 500 index. Should the committee approve its inclusion, Marvell would immediately enter the top 50 companies within the benchmark — positioned just above SanDisk, which gained entry during late 2025.
The S&P 500’s next quarterly reconstitution is set for June 19. Index inclusion typically triggers substantial purchasing activity from passive funds that replicate the benchmark’s composition.
However, the S&P Dow Jones Indices selection committee retains full discretion regarding additions and faces no obligation to make changes during every rebalancing period. Marvell’s inclusion this month, while likely, remains uncertain.
Wall Street’s Response
Stifel elevated its 12-month MRVL price objective to $321 from the previous $230 target while reaffirming its Buy recommendation. The revised forecast applies a 55x multiple to calendar year 2027 earnings estimates.
Analyst Svanberg noted the Computex presentation “dovetailed cleanly with the financial trajectory management framed on last week’s F1Q27 call,” indicating the optimistic investment case continues gaining momentum with each new development.
Svanberg stated: “Given what we view as the market’s increased acceptance of MRVL’s positioning within the DC/AI supercycle, we reiterate our Buy rating.”
