Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL): Among Chris Rokos' Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential
We recently published an article titled . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) stands against Chris Rokos' other stock picks with huge upside potential. One of the traits that define investors who become billionaires is the ability to make money regardless of market conditions. Chris Rokos is one example. For instance, in March 2025, the hedge fund gained 3.4% amid heightened volatility. At the same time, fellow big-name asset managers like Point72, Citadel, and Millennium struggled to handle the volatility. Christopher Charles Rokos is a British hedge fund manager. He co-founded Brevan Howard in 2002 after nearly 10 years with Goldman Sachs, where he traded interest rate products. In 2015, he established Rokos Capital Management. The asset manager has approximately $20 billion worth of assets under management (AUM) as of 2025. Rokos is the fund's Chief Investment Officer (CIO). The billionaire hedge fund manager made the most of Trump's election in November last year. According to a Bloomberg report, Rokos netted nearly $1 billion in profits in a single day following Trump's victory. This, according to the report, is a 'standout trading performance' since Rokos Capital started operating in 2015. READ ALSO: Billionaire Ray Dalio's Bridgewater's 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential and Billionaire Mario Gabelli's 10 Large-Cap Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. And the winning didn't stop there. Since that election victory, Trump has fueled rallies and routs in almost equal measure. But, interestingly, Rokos keeps turning up profits regardless of market conditions. Thanks to the Trump-fueled rally in November 2024, Rokos Capital Management ended the year with 31% in returns. In early April 2025, Trump's tariffs triggered a large sell-off, and many hedge funds lost money. But not Rokos. The asset manager advanced 4.5% in the first two weeks of the month. This gain helped the hedge fund's returns for the year to reach 8% as of mid-April 2025. But whether Rokos Capital Management will keep winning this year is something that remains to be seen, especially in light of the conditions in the market. On Monday, May 5, 2025, the S&P 500 snapped out of a nine-day rally—the longest winning streak in 20 years. The broader market index fell 0.64%, while the Nasdaq shed 0.74% and the Dow lost 0.24%. Market observers quoted by CNN put the decline on tariffs. For instance, Argent Capital Management's Jed Ellerbroek said that the 'market is intensely focused on where the tariff rates end up, and it's bouncing around day to day as those assessments change.' Veteran technical strategist Tom DeMark told Bloomberg that a bear market is a likely scenario shortly. 'A top is imminent. Too much technical damage has been done. Stocks are vulnerable right now and can easily get hit pretty badly if anything quickly changes on the global trade outlook.' However, it won't come as a surprise that Rokos Capital manages gains out of the bleak market (if the current predictions hold). They have done it before. As such, it appears wise to get an idea of the hedge fund's stock picks, especially those with a huge upside potential. We combed through Rokos Capital Management's SEC Q4 2024 13F filings. We focused on the fund's most valuable equities holdings (excluding ETFs and options) and then ranked the stocks based on analyst price targets as of May 7, 2025. We picked stocks with an upside potential of at least 30% and then picked the top 10. We have also mentioned the broader hedge fund sentiment for these stocks, as of Q4 2024. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (). An assembly line in a semiconductor factory, with workers at their Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) is a data infrastructure semiconductor company. It designs, develops, and markets integrated circuits for data centers, enterprise networking, 5G carrier infrastructure, automotive, etc. The target customers include cloud providers, telecommunications and networking companies, and manufacturers integrating smart technology into vehicles. Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) shares fell more than 6% in extended trading on May 6, 2025, after the chipmaker cut the high end of its revenue forecast and postponed its investor day event. The company said the decision was made due to an "uncertain" economic environment. Revenue in the first quarter didn't reach the high end of its previous forecast range, with net revenue coming in at about $1.88 billion, plus or minus 2%. This falls short of the company's March guidance, which suggested sales might be 5% above that mark. On the operational front, Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) agreed to sell its Automotive Ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2.5 billion in cash. The business, which is expected to generate revenue of $225-250 million in fiscal 2026, includes Marvell's Brightlane Automotive Ethernet portfolio and related assets. This strategic divestiture allows Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) to focus on its core competencies while delivering a robust return to shareholders. On April 17, 2025, Stifel analysts revised their price target for Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) to $80 from $115, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Stifel believes that Marvell's (NASDAQ:MRVL) AI-related revenues will soon reach saturation, even though demand from cloud service providers is growing. Overall MRVL ranks 1st on our list of Chris Rokos' stock picks with huge upside potential. While we acknowledge the potential of MRVL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.

A close-up view of a computer motherboard with integrated semiconductor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is a semiconductor company that provides memory and storage solutions. The company designs and manufactures DRAM, NAND, and NOR flash memory for computing and networking sectors. It operates through Micron and Crucial brands. Micron Technology, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:MU) Q2 2025 earnings exceeded guidance, with revenue hitting $8.05 billion compared to $5.82 billion in the same period last year. The company's data center revenue tripled from a year ago, with HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) revenue crossing the $1 billion milestone in the quarter. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra provided an optimistic outlook for Q3 2025, projecting record quarterly revenue of $8.8 billion (±$200 million). He also expects strong DRAM and NAND demand growth in both data center and consumer markets. This positive outlook aligns with broader industry trends. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) estimates, global semiconductor sales reached $167.7 billion for Q1 2025. The sales figure is 18.8% higher than Q1 2024. SIA further stated that the industry is experiencing particularly strong growth in the Americas region. The report concludes that there is a sustained high demand for semiconductor products. In other words, the business environment is favorable for companies like Micron (NASDAQ:MU) to continue growing. Unsurprisingly, Citi reiterated a Buy rating and a $110 price target on Micron (NASDAQ:MU). The investment bank cited an analysis by TrendForce, which reported that PC DRAM prices are expected to rise 3%-8% quarter-on-quarter in Q2.
