Late last week, we noted that after ESTC and MRVL settled out following their respective quarterly earnings reports, we would look to scoop up some additional shares. We are making that move this morning, taking small bites in each.
In our note discussing Elastic’s earnings and guidance, we explained why the company’s guidance was overly conservative, especially when viewed against its deferred revenue and remaining performance obligations. What we also see is that following Wall Street adjusting its price targets and EPS forecasts, Elastic is still expected to deliver EPS of $2.29 this year.
Breaking that down, the annual figure implies a 57% pop in EPS in second half of 2025 compared to H1 2025, which is far faster than the current 8.5% expectation for the S&P 500. It speaks to Elastic delivering on those obligations and the positive margin impact of AI adoption on its margins and bottom line. We expect to hear more about this as well as other indications management’s outlook skewed overly conservative when Elastic presents at the Bank of American Global Technology Conference on June 4 and the Rosenblatt Technology Summit on June 11.
Turning to Marvell, after our comments breaking down its latest quarterly earnings report and prospects for 70% year-over-year revenue growth for its AI and data center business, we are making a similar move. This morning’s comments from Taiwan Semiconductor TSM support that view and lay the groundwork for TSM to deliver another set of favorable revenue reports for May and the ensuing months. Coming up on June 17, we have Marvell’s custom AI silicon event, which should help frame those opportunities with existing Big Tech customers but also help Wall Street wrap its arms around how it will ramp in H2 2025 and 2026.
