Details
Stocks rallied today after the U.S. and Iran took another step towards peace. Marvell Technology surged more than most after KeyBanc upped its price target from $260 to $385. The stock is also set to join the S&P 500 next week, and buying from funds that track the index often gives newcomers a short-term price boost. However, that’s likely already priced in, and what matters more is whether Marvell — which has gained more than 265% year-to-date — can sustain its momentum.
