Oppenheimer Holdings (OPY) came away from its latest huddle with Marvell Technology (MRVL) feeling like it had struck gold, promptly lifting its price target for the stock as management painted a confident picture of surging demand in artificial intelligence (AI) data center networking and application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
Analyst Rick Schafer and his crew picked up that same drumbeat after meeting key officials in Europe, where management spoke plainly and struck a firmly bullish tone. They pointed to accelerating growth driven by Data Center AI (DCAI) networking and ASIC, with momentum showing no signs of cooling off.
