Shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) are plunging around 20% Thursday morning, a day after the semiconductor firm reported an outlook that disappointed some investors.
Marvell reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60 on revenue that jumped 27% year-over-year to $1.82 billion, both slightly above Visible Alpha consensus.
