Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaker had gained 11.8% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 6.08% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.57% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from MRVL as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be March 7, 2019. On that day, MRVL is projected to report earnings of $0.26 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 18.75%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $739.88 million, up 20.22% from the year-ago period.

Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. MRVL is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that MRVL has a Forward P/E ratio of 15.12 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 18.45, so we one might conclude that MRVL is trading at a discount comparatively.
Meanwhile, MRVL's PEG ratio is currently 1.81. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. MRVL's industry had an average PEG ratio of 2.91 as of yesterday's close.
The Semiconductor - Communications industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 110, which puts it in the top 44% of all 250+ industries.
