That rally was driven by its soaring DRAM and NAND memory chip sales for AI-oriented data centers. Micron was once considered a cyclical company that went through &#8220;boom and bust&#8221; cycles. That perception changed as the AI market expanded and it recently secured over $22 billion in uncancellable, multi-year, fixed-price contracts through 16 Strategic Customer Agreements (SCAs) with data center giants.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">From fiscal 2025 (which ended last August) to fiscal 2028, analysts expect Micron&#8217;s revenue to surge nearly sevenfold as its EPS increases more than 22 times. Those are incredible growth rates for a stock that trades at less than nine times this year&#8217;s sales and 13 times this year&#8217;s earnings, so it could still have plenty of upside potential.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Missed Nvidia in 2009?

Another promising stock is Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), which has rallied more than 250% over the past 12 months and still has lots of room to run.  <\/p>\n<p>        Why is Marvell becoming a high-growth AI chipmaker?          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">In the past, Marvell mainly produced Wi-Fi, Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile chips for consumer devices. But over the past decade, it stopped producing those cyclical, lower-margin chips and expanded its data center with big acquisitions and new product launches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Today, Marvell generates most of its revenue from its data center business, which produces high-speed optical connectivity chips, custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for hyperscalers, Ethernet switches, and data processing units (DPUs) that combine CPUs, networking interfaces, and programmable data acceleration engines.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=630e5012-2ae4-45a4-8323-7f1b290d1f92\" data-ylk=\"slk:AI%20market;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;AI market&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">AI market<\/a> expands, more companies are upgrading their data centers with Marvell&#8217;s hardware to handle the latest AI applications. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) also invested $2 billion in Marvell earlier this year and more tightly integrated its own GPUs, CPUs, and DPUs with Marvell&#8217;s custom AI accelerators and networking chips through its NVLink platform. It&#8217;s also co-developing advanced optical interconnect and silicon photonics solutions with Nvidia to eliminate data-transfer bottlenecks in cloud and AI data centers.  <\/p>\n<p>         How much higher can Marvell&#8217;s stock soar?         <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">From fiscal 2026 (which ended this January) to fiscal 2029, analysts expect Marvell&#8217;s revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at CAGRs of 41% and 43%, respectively. It might seem a bit pricey at 19 times this year&#8217;s sales and 50 times its adjusted EBITDA, but its long-term growth potential justifies those higher valuations. So if you&#8217;re looking for an oft-overlooked AI chipmaker that could replicate Micron&#8217;s massive rally, Marvell might fit the bill.  <\/p>\n<p>          Should you buy stock in Marvell Technology right now?         <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Before you buy stock in\u00a0Marvell Technology, consider this:  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The Motley Fool\u00a0Stock Advisor\u00a0analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.fool.com\/infotron\/infotrack\/click?apikey=35527423-a535-4519-a07f-20014582e03e&amp;impression=170230d3-fdd3-4469-b9ee-f7572a2da7c7&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fool.com%2Fmms%2Fmark%2Fe-sa-bbn-bn%3Faid%3D8867%26source%3Disaeditxt0001213%26ftm_cam%3Dsa-bbn-evergreen%26ftm_veh%3Darticle_pitch_feed_yahoo%26ftm_pit%3D19383&amp;utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=630e5012-2ae4-45a4-8323-7f1b290d1f92\" data-ylk=\"slk:10%20best%20stocks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;10 best stocks&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">10 best stocks<\/a>\u00a0for investors to buy now\u2026 and\u00a0Marvell Technology\u00a0wasn&#8217;t one of them.\u00a0The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Consider when\u00a0Netflix\u00a0made this list on December 17, 2004&#8230; if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you&#8217;d have $418,761!*\u00a0Or\u00a0when\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0made this list on April 15, 2005&#8230; if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you&#8217;d have $1,195,804!*  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">That performance is why people listen.
