Marvell Technology (MRVL) is doubling down on the booming data center wave, supplying advanced chips that help power the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. But even with all the excitement around AI, shares of this chipmaker have struggled to woo investors this year. Wins in the data center space keep getting overshadowed by concerns about intense competition and the company’s ability to fully execute on its ambitions.
