How Marvell Technology Inc. scores

As of October 17, 2026, Marvell Technology Inc. scores 6.3 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Marvell Technology Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Ranked with the 260 Technology companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 61st percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. The median across the group is 5.9, and the top quarter begins at 6.7, so Marvell Technology Inc. is in line with the typical company here.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Marvell Technology Inc. scores 5.6, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.6 across 256 Technology companies, which places it above them, at the 65th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.

Solvency

Solvency scores 9.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 194 Technology companies is 8.0, so Marvell Technology Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 70th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.

Growth

Growth scores 7.8 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 207 Technology companies is 6.4, so Marvell Technology Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. Strong growth means revenue, earnings and cash flow have been compounding faster than at most peers over the last few years.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 5.1 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 240 Technology companies is 7.1, so Marvell Technology Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 17th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.

Predictability

Marvell Technology Inc.’s predictability score is 3.8 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.7 among 258 Technology companies, that is below the group and the 31st percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Marvell Technology Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 9.0 against predictability at 3.8, 5.2 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.

What would move the score

The pillar with the most room to move the score is efficiency. If it rose to the median of Technology companies, 7.1, Marvell Technology Inc.’s overall score would go from 6.3 to about 6.6. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Marvell Technology Inc. has a reading on every pillar.

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
