Marvell (MRVL) has been one of the quieter names in semiconductors through the AI boom, until recently. A $2 billion strategic investment from Nvidia, advanced chip co-development talks with Alphabet, and multiple confirmed cloud-provider design wins have sent the stock up 50% in the last month alone. See why Marvell stock moved.
Do you think MRVL is a good long-term bet at current levels?
More importantly, would you buy it at a 40% discount – at around $100 per share? If that sounds like a steal, and you have cash ready to deploy, here is a trade that generates a 16% annualized yield while giving you exactly that entry point.
- Sell a long-dated Put option expiring 3/19/2027, with a strike price of $100
- Collect roughly $1,063 in premium per contract (each contract represents 100 shares)
- That’s about 12% annualized yield on the $10,000 you’re setting aside for the possibility of buying the stock
- This cash parked in a savings or money market account will earn an extra 4.0%, taking total yield to 16.1%
- And you give yourself a chance to buy MRVL stock at deep discounted price of $100
Possible Trade Outcomes: You Win Either Way
Stock Price Outcome: What It Means For You
If MRVL stays above $100, you get to keep the full $1,063 premium – that is 11% extra income over the next 322 days on cash that might otherwise earn you 4.0% or less. You never buy the stock and simply walk away with the cash.
If MRVL closes below $100, you’ll be obligated to buy 100 shares at $100. But thanks to the $1,063 premium, your effective cost basis is just $89.375 per share – a roughly 46% discount from the current level.
And you won’t be buying just another speculative stock. Marvell sits at the intersection of major dollars being spent on next-generation AI infrastructure – its custom silicon and optical interconnects powering the data centers of the world’s largest hyperscalers. Revenue growth is projected at more than 30% each year over the next two years, and the stock trades at just about 30x estimated FY’28 earnings. See how Marvell’s margins and growth compare with players like Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO).
But to hold this trade with conviction, you want to better understand what’s going well for MRVL stock and how low it has fallen in the past.
