Marvell (MRVL): Why Analysts Aren’t Worried About the Post-Earnings Drop
MRVL reported $2.74 billion in revenue for its second quarter, slightly ahead of the $2.72 billion analysts expected, according to FactSet. The company also reported adjusted earnings of 94 cents per share, beating the 93 cents expected by Wall Street. Even though Marvell beat expectations, investors were not impressed.
The bullish calls are notable because MRVL has already had a huge year. The shares have climbed about 184% so far in 2026, meaning investors had very high expectations heading into the earnings report.
MRVL Delivered Modest Earnings Beat
Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya believes investors may be focusing too much on that short-term disappointment. “We ignore this expectation mismatch,” Arya wrote, as quoted by CNBC.
Arya remains confident in Marvell’s longer-term growth prospects. He described Marvell as a “unique growth franchise” and expects the company’s revenue growth to accelerate toward the mid-50% range year over year, compared with the mid-40% range currently.
He believes that growth can come from Marvell’s relationships with major cloud companies and its technology across several important areas, including computing, networking, optics, security and storage.
Analyst Day Could Be the Next Big Catalyst
With earnings now behind it, investors could turn their attention to Marvell’s analyst day in early October. The event could give investors more information about the company’s long-term growth plans and its opportunities in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other areas of the semiconductor market.
Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore, who has an Equal Weight rating on MRVL, also sees potential for the stock to rebound. Moore said he “would be tactically long for the investor day if the stock sells off,” as also quoted by CNBC.
Should Investors Buy Marvell Stock After Earnings?
Marvell’s latest earnings report shows just how high expectations have become for the company. The company beat Wall Street’s revenue and earnings estimates, yet the stock still dropped sharply. That’s a sign that investors are looking for much more than small earnings beats after Marvell’s huge rally this year.
But the long-term story remains attractive to many analysts. Marvell is positioned in several areas of the semiconductor industry that are benefiting from growing demand for artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure. The company’s relationships with major cloud customers could also help drive future growth. The upcoming analyst day could be especially important. If MRVL provides a strong outlook and gives investors more confidence in its long-term growth plans, the recent selloff could prove temporary.
For now, Wall Street remains largely positive. Bank of America sees as much as 51% upside to its $365 price target, while UBS, Wells Fargo, Barclays and Citi also remain bullish.

Affirm Heads into Earnings with BNPL Growth Still Running Hot
Fueling momentum, buy now, pay later (BNPL) stocks are still growing fast. In fact, the market has grown rapidly, with some estimates noting that the global market could grow from about $156.6 billion in 2023 to more than $1 trillion by 2028.
We also have to consider that Americans are carrying more debt. U.S. household debt reached about $18.8 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At the same time, more consumers are turning to BNPL loans to pay for everyday purchases.
According to LendingTree, 29% of BNPL users have used these loans to buy groceries. That is up from 25% a year earlier and just 14% two years ago. Consumers are also using BNPL to pay for clothing, electronics and household items.
That is good news for BNPL companies such as Affirm.

AFRM is scheduled to report its fiscal fourth-quarter results on August 27 after the market closes. Wall Street expects AFRM to report earnings of about $0.33 per share. That would be a significant improvement from the same period last year.
But EPS may not be the most important number investors watch. AFRM’s growth in gross merchandise volume, or GMV, will likely get plenty of attention. GMV measures the total value of transactions made through the company’s platform. In the third quarter, Affirm’s GMV jumped 35% year over year to $11.6 billion.
The company also added more customers and merchants. Active consumers increased 22% to 26.8 million, while active merchants jumped 44% to 515,000. Affirm’s card business is growing even faster. Affirm Card GMV increased 146% to $2.1 billion, while active cardholders more than doubled to 4.4 million.
Profitability Is Improving
AFRM is also showing that it can grow while becoming more profitable.
Third-quarter revenue increased 33% to $1.04 billion. Revenue less transaction costs, an important measure of the company’s underlying economics, increased 41% to $498 million.
Adjusted operating income jumped 62% to $281 million.
For the upcoming quarter, Affirm Holdings expects GMV between $13.15 billion and $13.45 billion. The company expects revenue between $1.08 billion and $1.11 billion. AFRM also expects an adjusted operating margin of 27.5% to 29.5%. If the company beats those expectations, investors could have another reason to push the stock higher.
What Investors Really Want
A strong earnings-per-share number would certainly help. But investors will probably pay even more attention to GMV, profitability and management’s outlook for the next fiscal year.
Investors will also be watching the outlook closely. Klarna (NYSE: KLAR), another major BNPL company, recently reported better-than-expected results but lowered its full-year outlook. Its shares fell sharply after the announcement. That puts even more focus on what AFRM says about consumer spending and credit quality.
The Bottom Line
The BNPL industry still has a substantial growth opportunity.
More consumers are using installment payments, and the overall market could reach more than $1 trillion within the next few years. Affirm is currently one of the strongest companies in the space. Its GMV is growing quickly, its merchant network is expanding, its card business is taking off and its profitability is improving. Now investors want to know if that growth can continue.
If Affirm beats expectations on Thursday and gives investors a strong outlook for fiscal 2027, the earnings report could strengthen the bullish case for AFRM.

5 Recession-Proof Stocks Hiding in Cardboard Boxes
Reported by Chris Markoch. First Published: 8/17/2026.
Key Points
Sustained migration trends since 2020 have benefited moving and storage companies, including U-Haul, Avis Budget Group, and self-storage REITs.
Public Storage, Extra Space Storage, and CubeSmart offer varying combinations of scale, dividend yield, and growth potential within the self-storage sector.
U-Haul and Avis Budget Group provide alternative ways to invest in relocation trends, though each carries distinct earnings and valuation headwinds.
If the last five years have taught investors anything, it’s that money is mobile. Beginning in 2020, many Americans moved from one state to another for a variety of reasons.
That shift is evident in the performance of companies in the moving trade. These stocks tend to do well in three specific environments: when credit gets tight, during mild recessions and when interest rates are cut amid high migration.
At various times in the last five years, one or more of these conditions have been met. That’s still the case in 2026 and will likely remain so in 2027 and beyond.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. Investors saw a similar phenomenon during the 2008 public credit crisis.
That’s where companies that make boxes and self-storage real estate investment trusts (REITs) come into play. When people downsize, their stuff has to go somewhere. Since 2020, this new relocation trend has also been big business for moving truck companies.
These aren’t the most exciting investments, but they fit well with the shift in investor sentiment toward stocks that deliver growth with income and less volatility.
The Full-Service Moving Play
U-Haul (NYSE: UHAL) is one of the most diverse ways to play the moving and relocation trend. Since April 2020, UHAL is up approximately 160%, and going back to 2012, the gain is even larger. That’s significant because it speaks to the company’s reach across all areas of the sector.
Current headwinds include a mixed first-quarter earnings report for its 2027 fiscal year, in which it reported adjusted earnings per share that missed forecasts and declined from the prior year. In addition, the stock is expensive by conventional metrics.
For a company with a market cap of around $14 billion, there isn’t much analyst coverage. However, with the stock up nearly 50% in 2026, investors may have an interesting momentum play.
The Hidden Truck Rental Bet
Avis Budget Group (NYSE: CAR) is best known as a rental car company. However, it also operates the second-largest truck rental business in the market, with nearly 50% market share. The company doesn’t break out revenue from that business directly, so it’s even more important to look at the bigger picture.
Regarding Avis, the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report was disappointing. However, institutions are buying the stock, and analysts continue to raise their price targets even as CAR trades about 5% above its consensus price target of $132.75 as of this writing.
Owning CAR means taking on the issues in the company’s rental car business, so it’s not a pure moving-stock play. However, the approximately 15% sell-off since the company’s earnings report may create a buying opportunity for a stock that is up more than 50% over the last five years.
A Self-Storage Fortress With Scale
Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) is the largest self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT), and it just got bigger. The company completed its acquisition of National Storage Affiliates in 2026, expanding its footprint to more than 4,500 properties. That scale gives PSA pricing power that few competitors can match. Its balance sheet remains one of the strongest in the sector.
The stock pays a 3.67% dividend yield, backed by a market cap of around $57.3 billion. The Public Storage analyst forecasts on MarketBeat give PSA a consensus price target of $326.05. Since July 2026, however, several analysts have issued targets offering modest upside from current levels.
PSA isn't a momentum stock. It's a slow, steady compounder for investors who want exposure to moving trends without the headwinds that can come from the rental vehicle space.
The Yield Play With Growth Upside
Extra Space Storage (NYSE: EXR) is the second-largest player in self-storage. The stock has a market cap of around $31 billion, smaller than Public Storage but still formidable.
In the first two quarters of 2026, revenue increased year over year. That's a sign that demand is stabilizing after two soft years. More encouraging was the company’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS), which beat estimates by nine cents.
The Extra Space Storage analyst forecasts on MarketBeat show a consensus Hold rating with a price target of $147.73, which is about equal to EXR's price as of this writing. However, like Public Storage, recent analyst targets offer modest upside.
CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) is the smallest of the three self-storage REITs, with a market cap near $9 billion.
That size cuts both ways. CUBE has more room to grow, but less of a cushion if storage demand softens. Sun Belt markets, its biggest area of exposure, showed early signs of recovery in Q1 2026.
That upward drift suggests improving sentiment. For investors chasing income, CUBE may offer the best entry point of the three storage names.
