Marvell gives up ground premarket after 11% jump, S&P 500 inclusion and CFO move keep AI narrative in play
Marvell Technology stock slipped early Friday, changing hands at $275.86 in premarket, off 1.73%. The shares had jumped 11.13% to $280.71 Thursday. After that surge, some investors questioned if the AI chipmaker can keep the pace or if the rally has gone too far. Marvell was trading at about a 96 P/E, according to Google Finance’s latest figures after Thursday’s move. Marvell said late Thursday that Dan Durn will take over as CFO on June 15, replacing Willem Meintjes. Meintjes will stay as an adviser until April 2027. Marvell held its second-quarter fiscal 2027 outlook steady, a move that's important as rapid growth can make investors jumpy about leadership changes. Reuters said Marvell is making the switch as the company aims to capture more spending on AI data-center infrastructure.
