Marvell Technology Group (MRVL)

TotalReturn:

'Total return, when measuring performance, is the actual rate of return of an investment or a pool of investments over a given evaluation period. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends and distributions realized over a given period of time. Total return accounts for two categories of return: income including interest paid by fixed-income investments, distributions or dividends and capital appreciation, representing the change in the market price of an asset.'

• The total return, or increase in value over 5 years of Marvell Technology Group is 111.3%, which is larger, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (105.3%) in the same period.
• Looking at total return, or performance in of 143.1% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus better in comparison to SPY (93.8%).

CAGR:

'Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a business and investing specific term for the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over the time period. CAGR is not an accounting term, but it is often used to describe some element of the business, for example revenue, units delivered, registered users, etc. CAGR dampens the effect of volatility of periodic returns that can render arithmetic means irrelevant. It is particularly useful to compare growth rates from various data sets of common domain such as revenue growth of companies in the same industry.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (15.5%) in the period of the last 5 years, the annual return (CAGR) of 16.2% of Marvell Technology Group is greater, thus better.
• Compared with SPY (24.8%) in the period of the last 3 years, the annual performance (CAGR) of 34.7% is greater, thus better.

Volatility:

'In finance, volatility (symbol σ) is the degree of variation of a trading price series over time as measured by the standard deviation of logarithmic returns. Historic volatility measures a time series of past market prices. Implied volatility looks forward in time, being derived from the market price of a market-traded derivative (in particular, an option). Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (17.2%) in the period of the last 5 years, the 30 days standard deviation of 57.6% of Marvell Technology Group is higher, thus worse.
• Looking at 30 days standard deviation in of 60.9% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (16.3%).

DownVol:

'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'

• Looking at the downside risk of 38.8% in the last 5 years of Marvell Technology Group, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (11.9%)
• Looking at downside volatility in of 40.4% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to SPY (10.6%).

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio is the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. Sharpe ratio is a measure of excess portfolio return over the risk-free rate relative to its standard deviation. Normally, the 90-day Treasury bill rate is taken as the proxy for risk-free rate. A portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers. The measure was named after William F Sharpe, a Nobel laureate and professor of finance, emeritus at Stanford University.'

• Looking at the risk / return profile (Sharpe) of 0.24 in the last 5 years of Marvell Technology Group, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (0.76)
• Looking at Sharpe Ratio in of 0.53 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (1.37).

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally. Though both ratios measure an investment's risk-adjusted return, they do so in significantly different ways that will frequently lead to differing conclusions as to the true nature of the investment's return-generating efficiency. The Sortino ratio is used as a way to compare the risk-adjusted performance of programs with differing risk and return profiles. In general, risk-adjusted returns seek to normalize the risk across programs and then see which has the higher return unit per risk.'

• Looking at the excess return divided by the downside deviation of 0.35 in the last 5 years of Marvell Technology Group, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (1.1)
• Compared with SPY (2.12) in the period of the last 3 years, the downside risk / excess return profile of 0.8 is lower, thus worse.

Ulcer:

'The ulcer index is a stock market risk measure or technical analysis indicator devised by Peter Martin in 1987, and published by him and Byron McCann in their 1989 book The Investors Guide to Fidelity Funds. It's designed as a measure of volatility, but only volatility in the downward direction, i.e. the amount of drawdown or retracement occurring over a period. Other volatility measures like standard deviation treat up and down movement equally, but a trader doesn't mind upward movement, it's the downside that causes stress and stomach ulcers that the index's name suggests.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (8.42 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 34 of Marvell Technology Group is larger, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (3.62 ) in the period of the last 3 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 24 is higher, thus worse.

MaxDD:

'Maximum drawdown is defined as the peak-to-trough decline of an investment during a specific period. It is usually quoted as a percentage of the peak value. The maximum drawdown can be calculated based on absolute returns, in order to identify strategies that suffer less during market downturns, such as low-volatility strategies. However, the maximum drawdown can also be calculated based on returns relative to a benchmark index, for identifying strategies that show steady outperformance over time.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-24.5 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum DrawDown of -61.9 days of Marvell Technology Group is lower, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the maximum drop from peak to valley is -60.8 days, which is lower, thus worse than the value of -18.8 days from the benchmark.

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs) in days.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (488 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum days under water of 732 days of Marvell Technology Group is greater, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the maximum days under water is 183 days, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 87 days from the benchmark.

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• Looking at the average days below previous high of 245 days in the last 5 years of Marvell Technology Group, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (120 days)
• Looking at average time in days below previous high water mark in of 59 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to SPY (21 days).
