Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) with a Buy. PT $20.00.

Analyst, Bobby Burleson, said, "We expect revenue and earnings growth to outstrip the broader semiconductor market in 2012, based on a recovery for the company’s core HDD business, rising demand for TD-SCDMA smartphones, and a shift to merchant SSD controllers that should favor MRVL’s technology leadership."

"Buyback, if used, could make valuation even more attractive – Buyback increased to $638M (7% of shares out), could drive incremental EPS growth of 9%."
