Jensen Huang Backs Marvell for $1 Trillion Valuation as AI Connectivity Bottlenecks Intensify
3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 14
Summary
Marvell, now valued at about $234 billion, was publicly tagged by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at Computex as the next trillion-dollar chip company.
The call hinges on AI connectivity becoming a key bottleneck: Marvell sells Ethernet switches, optical interconnect chips and custom ASICs that move data across massive GPU clusters.
Wall Street already expects Marvell's earnings to double over the next two years, but its current 65 forward P/E would imply a valuation closer to $400 billion by 2027 estimates.
Reaching $1 trillion would likely require both stronger-than-expected execution and a further market rerating as investors shift from rewarding AI compute leaders to backing networking and interconnect enablers.
With Nvidia's backing, can Marvell truly challenge Broadcom's dominance in the lucrative custom AI chip market?

Overview
Jensen Huang’s public endorsement of Marvell Technology as the next trillion-dollar company sparked an immediate surge in Marvell’s stock price and shifted market sentiment. This optimism was fueled by Marvell’s strong growth, with its stock already tripling over the past year, and by the promise of a long-term partnership. The endorsement is grounded in Marvell’s impressive financial performance, especially its dominant position in data center revenue, which makes up 73% of its business. Together, these factors highlight why investors are closely watching Marvell as a key player in the rapidly evolving AI infrastructure market.
