Marvell Technologies (MRVL: NSD) stock price took a tumble in after-hours trading yesterday despite the company meeting earnings expectations for its first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Key Insights from Marvell’s Q1 Earnings:
The renowned semiconductor company, Marvell Technologies was unable to deliver an impressive performance in the first quarter of 2025, despite achieving slightly above-estimate revenues of $1.16 billion. This decline in revenue amounted to negative year-over-year growth, negatively reflecting on the stock’s profitability as the earnings per share slumped from $0.31 to $0.24.
The management’s forecast adds to the pessimistic outlook, projecting a further year-on-year revenue decline of 6.8% for the next quarter. Is this an early sign of Marvell’s slowed momentum, or is this a temporary setback that investors should overlook?
