Two price target raises for Tuesday

Maintaining a buy rating, Sajal Dogra, an analyst at Rosenblatt, hiked the price target on Marvell to $300 from $240. According to Thefly.com, Rosenblatt believes the company will report "another beat-and-raise" quarter when it announces second-quarter 2027 financial results on Thursday.

The second price target hike comes from Susquehanna, which raised its target to $265 from $230 while maintaining a positive rating on the stock. Thefly.com reported that Susquehanna also expects Marvell to upwardly revise its fiscal 2027 target for Inphi, believing Inphi's momentum will be sustained by continued growth in AI networking.

Based on Marvell's closing price of $229.29 yesterday, the Rosenblatt and Susquehanna price targets imply upside of 31% and 16%, respectively.

Don't forget to focus on the financials

For those who have Marvell stock on their radars, it's critical to remember that the foundation of a sound investment thesis is the company's financial health -- not analysts' price targets. Therefore, reviewing the company's Q2 2027 financial results is essential. Look for the company to achieve its forecast, reporting revenue of about $2.7 billion and diluted earnings per share of $0.32 to $0.42. Of course, this is only one step in performing the necessary due diligence before buying this AI stock -- though it's an important one.
