Although Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) might have the best long-term growth potential of all semiconductor companies, its fundamentals succumbed to the worsening economy in 2022, and the stock plunged 58%.

In 2016, a new management team began transforming Marvell from a maker of hard drives, Wi-Fi devices, and multimedia solutions to a pure play on data infrastructure.
