On CAPS, 95% of the 1,444 members who have rated Marvell believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this week, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Anders Bylund (TMFZahrim), tapped the stock as a particularly smart selection:
Marvell is coming out of this setback with flying colors, ready to capitalize on market share shifts, renewed Chinese smartphone interest, and the proliferation of smart, Internet-connected consumer electronics. "The future is everything smart, smart TV, smart set-top boxes, smart everything, smart appliances, smart -- whatever it is that you want," Sutardja said. "Everything that you have in the smartphones, multiply that by many times performance to fit in the display size of a TV."
If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its four-star rating, Marvell may not be your top choice.
