Marvell shows strong fundamentals and is coming back to attractive prices.
According to recent financial statements, the company improves its business through rising sales and cost-efficient production. Margins are expected to gradually increase in 2015 and 2016, allowing the firm to pick its EBITDA up. The P/E ratio at only 17.8 times estimated benefits constitutes a great entry level for buyers. In addition, EPS forecasts are at $0.81 for this year and $0.86 for the next one.
The security follows a downward trend in the short term under the $15.19 resistance area, but in the mid-term, the trend still being neutral. The proximity of a strengthened support level and an ascending trendline should give the necessary push for a rebound in prices. Even if prices fall under the $14.15 daily support, the $13.5 level should represent a main obstacle for sellers.
Considering both technical and fundamental elements, the timing seems to be an appropriate one for opening long positions on Marvell. The target price could be the $15.19 resistance, or a potential of 6%. A stop loss order is suggested under $13.5.
