Summary

Marvell AI data center growth accelerating.
Marvell's AI buildout is accelerating, not cooling off. CEO Matt Murphy raised the company's next-year revenue target to roughly $18 billion and about 50% growth. The data center is the engine, growing more than 60%, driven by optical parts connecting AI servers and custom chips expected to more than double.

Prefer NVIDIA over Marvell on valuation.
Marvell sits between chip makers and hyperscalers in hot networking/data center AI picks-and-shovels territory and guidance was fantastic, but the multiple is uncertain. He would rather own NVIDIA here at a much more attractive valuation.
