On CAPS, 95% of the 1,438 members who have rated Marvell believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star traviskang, who is ranked in the top 1% of all CAPS members, and kylehusky.

Earlier this week, traviskang brought Marvell's cheapish multiples to our community's attention:

Good earnings and solid fundamentals. Value pick given its expanding products lines, as well as top/bottom line earnings growth.

Forward P/E 7.75
PEG 0.62
P/S 2.16
P/B 1.57

Over the next five years, Marvell is even expected to grow its bottom line at a solid rate of 15.4% annually. That's faster than other semiconductor plays like AMD (NYSE: AMD) (10.8%), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) (11.1%), and Texas Instruments (11%).

CAPS member kylehusky elaborates on the bull case:

MRVL the stock has been just crushed of late... It's a big supplier into Research In Motion. With the horrid quarter and collapse in demand for RIMM's products, MRVL's been crushed on the very valid concerns that all of RIMM's problems will trickle down... But while that concern is quite valid, we're only talking about an impact of probably about $50 million to $100 million in the worst case scenario. Kinect alone will more than make up for the RIMM impact this year and especially next year.
