Nomura Securities maintains a 'Reduce' on Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) price target of $13.00.

Analyst, Romit Shah, said, "Marvell reported a good FQ1 and guided all segments up for the July period. FQ1 results of $796mn/$0.18 were better than our estimate of $765mn/$0.15. While results were solid, one good quarter does not signify a trend. We believe prospects for growth in the core segments (storage, wireless, and networking) are limited. And we see downward pressure on gross margin into the 50-55% range as wireless becomes a larger part of the mix. We are raising our estimates from $0.91 to $0.99 in CY12 and from $1.20 to $1.25 in CY13."
