CEO Matt Murphy has built a genuine powerhouse. We’ll be looking for readthroughs to our position in Broadcom,” he wrote in a morning note. A $400 Billion Market Murphy told investors Marvell expects its total addressable market to reach $400 billion by 2030, CNBC reported, and pushed its fiscal 2028 revenue target to about $20 billion. Before the event, analysts expected revenue of $12.05 billion for fiscal 2027 and $18.2 billion for fiscal 2028, and the new target sits about 10% above consensus. It also tops the roughly $18 billion outlook management gave in August. See More: Top Momentum Stocks The Broadcom Angle Cramer’s Investing Club owns Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), not Marvell.
