Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $45,666 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +910.3%.

Lump sum instead — $31,500 all at once in Jun 2000: $479,861 (+1423.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jun 2026): $288.61 on $300 invested (-3.8%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.

About Marvell Technology

Marvell Technology, Inc. is an American company, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, which develops and produces semiconductors and related technology. Founded in 1995, the company had close to 7,500 employees as of 2026, with over 10,000 patents worldwide, and an annual revenue of $8.2 billion for fiscal 2026. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under information technology and semiconductors, with a market cap of about $190.4B.

It rates High Risk at 2.8/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: earnings quality (5.0/5) and market / volatility (4.7/5).

Scoring well: sector / regulatory at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: concentration, governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
