# What Is One of the Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Now?

> Investors are keen on AI stocks, but finding value is challenging. Marvell Technology (MRVL) is highlighted as a bargain despite recent stock declines due to disappointing Q2 2026 results. While data center revenue grew 69% year-over-year, Q3 projections are flat, causing concern. However, Marvell's custom semiconductor business for AI applications remains promising, with a total addressable market of $94 billion. Currently trading at a discount to its historical cash flow multiple, Marvell presents a potential opportunity for long-term investors willing to navigate short-term volatility.

Temperatures may be trending lower now with the dog days of summer behind us, but one thing that remains red hot is investors' enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. This has led to many AI stocks achieving lofty valuations; consequently, those looking for both AI exposure and value opportunities are struggling to identify opportunities.

But not all hope is lost. In fact, shares of AI specialist **Marvell** **Technology** (MRVL -0.86%) represent a great bargain opportunity right now.

## Analysts' dour take doesn't mean the stock's a dud

There's no mystery as to why Marvell stock has plummeted recently. Many AI companies are posting huge growth in quarterly reports, driving investors to buy these stocks to in droves. **Broadcom** is one of the latest examples, with shares soaring on news of strong AI revenue growth.

Marvell, however, disappointed analysts when it reported second-quarter 2026 financial results. Although the company posted data center revenue of $1.49 billion, a 69% year-over-year increase, management projected Q3 2026 data center revenue will be flat on a quarter-over-quarter basis -- much to the chagrin of Wall Street.

Although it doesn't foresee sequential revenue growth, management is still optimistic, noting on the Q2 2026 conference call about "the custom business, with the fourth quarter substantially stronger than the third." Marvell's custom business relates to its specific designing of custom semiconductors for AI (and other) applications such as data centers. The company provides these custom chips to leading hyperscalers like **Amazon**'s Amazon Web Services and **Microsoft**'s Azure.

While there may be near-term stagnation with its data center business, the opportunity that lies before the company is robust. Marvell estimates its total addressable market at $94 billion. For context, the company reported fiscal 2025 revenue of $5.8 billion.

## Marvell stocks may be a marvelous opportunity for AI investors

Trading at 23.4 times operating cash flow -- a discount to its five-year average cash flow multiple of 33.8 -- Marvell stock is a great opportunity right now for patient investors who can withstand some near-term volatility.
