For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.92 per share and revenue of $2.96 billion, which would represent changes of +39.39% and +9.55%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for MRVL. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
