Marvell Technology has growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business, consistent free cash flow, and healthy leverage. However, Marvell Technology has slimmer gross margins than its peers, consistently negative margins with a positive growth rate, and declining EPS growth. Finally, we note that Marvell Technology has just enough current assets to cover current liabilities.
Marvell Technology does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are currently in the red. Based on its EPS guidance of $2.37, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 26.0. In comparison, the average P/E ratio for the Technology sector is 27.16. On the other hand, the market is undervaluing Marvell Technology in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 3.17. In comparison, the sector average is 6.23. In conclusion, Marvell Technology's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable use of leverage demonstrate that the company may still be fairly valued — despite its elevated earnings multiple.
