Before we get into details of events that led to stock surge, here is what market wisdom says: A single stock can be risky, but there is a huge value to a broader, diversified approach we take with the Trefis High Quality Portfolio. Trefis works with Empirical Asset Management — a Boston area wealth manager — whose asset allocation strategies yielded positive returns during the 2008-09 period when the S&P lost more than 40%. Empirical has incorporated the Trefis HQ Portfolio in this asset allocation framework to provide clients with higher returns while taking on lower levels of risk versus the benchmark index.

Risk: A good way to gauge risk with MRVL is checking how far it’s fallen in past market sell-offs. It plunged about 91.6% in the Dot-Com crash and nearly 77.1% during the Global Financial Crisis. The inflation shock also hit hard, roughly a 62% drop. Even the milder sell-offs like the 2018 correction and Covid pullback saw declines around 40%. This shows that no matter how solid the setup looks, MRVL can still take a big hit when markets turn south.

MRVL stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
