Marvell Technology Shares Plummet After Investor Day Postponement
San Jose, CA – Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) experienced a sharp decline of approximately 10% in its stock price on Wednesday morning, following the announcement that it would delay its long-anticipated investor day originally scheduled for June 10, pushing it back to an undisclosed date in 2026 due to a challenging macroeconomic environment.
This postponement adds to existing investor concerns, as Marvell’s shares have already plunged about 45% year-to-date, erasing all gains from the previous year. Once viewed as a formidable competitor in the AI chip market alongside industry giants like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Marvell had hoped to bolster its custom-silicon ambitions through partnerships with major players, including Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).
The delay raises questions about the company’s strategic direction and execution capabilities, particularly regarding key projects such as Amazon’s next-generation Trainium chips. Although Marvell reaffirmed its first-quarter revenue forecast in March, the results failed to excite analysts, leading to a muted outlook.
Analyst Sebastien Naji from William Blair maintained an Outperform rating on Marvell but noted that the stock is likely to trade sideways until investor confidence in the company’s AI strategies improves. Currently, Marvell’s shares are trading at about 21 times 2025 earnings, significantly lower than their peak multiple of 40.
As the competitive landscape for custom silicon tightens, Marvell faces a critical challenge: proving to the market that it remains a viable contender in the increasingly crowded AI chip arena. Investors are now left to contemplate whether the delay signals deeper issues or if Marvell can reclaim its position among industry leaders.
