Collins Stewart initiates coverage on Marvell Technology (Nasdaq: MRVL) with a Hold.

Collins analyst says, "Ongoing transparency and accountability issues along with paucity of revenue drivers keep us on the sidelines. Inventory correction in hard drives, loss of momentum at RIMM, and lack of new product cycles should result in sharply lower growth next year. We see downside risk for the stock to the mid single digits. Solid Ethernet and storage business, but flat to slow growth Marvell's legacy business provides for stable revenues near term but is unlikely to accelerate growth. Future growth must come from consumer segments Loss of single-source design status at RIMM and lack of traction in mainstream handsets leaves it few options."

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. is a global semiconductor provider of application-specific standard products (ASSPs).
