Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL): Among Chris Rokos' Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential

We recently published an article titled Billionaire Chris Rokos' 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) stands against Chris Rokos' other stock picks with huge upside potential.

One of the traits that define investors who become billionaires is the ability to make money regardless of market conditions. Chris Rokos is one example. For instance, in March 2025, the hedge fund gained 3.4% amid heightened volatility. At the same time, fellow big-name asset managers like Point72, Citadel, and Millennium struggled to handle the volatility.

Christopher Charles Rokos is a British hedge fund manager. He co-founded Brevan Howard in 2002 after nearly 10 years with Goldman Sachs, where he traded interest rate products. In 2015, he established Rokos Capital Management. The asset manager has approximately $20 billion worth of assets under management (AUM) as of 2025. Rokos is the fund’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO).

The billionaire hedge fund manager made the most of Trump’s election in November last year. According to a Bloomberg report, Rokos netted nearly $1 billion in profits in a single day following Trump’s victory. This, according to the report, is a “standout trading performance” since Rokos Capital started operating in 2015.

And the winning didn’t stop there. Since that election victory, Trump has fueled rallies and routs in almost equal measure. But, interestingly, Rokos keeps turning up profits regardless of market conditions. Thanks to the Trump-fueled rally in November 2024, Rokos Capital Management ended the year with 31% in returns.

In early April 2025, Trump’s tariffs triggered a large sell-off, and many hedge funds lost money. But not Rokos. The asset manager advanced 4.5% in the first two weeks of the month. This gain helped the hedge fund’s returns for the year to reach 8% as of mid-April 2025.

But whether Rokos Capital Management will keep winning this year is something that remains to be seen, especially in light of the conditions in the market. On Monday, May 5, 2025, the S&P 500 snapped out of a nine-day rally—the longest winning streak in 20 years. The broader market index fell 0.64%, while the Nasdaq shed 0.74% and the Dow lost 0.24%.

Market observers quoted by CNN put the decline on tariffs. For instance, Argent Capital Management’s Jed Ellerbroek said that the “market is intensely focused on where the tariff rates end up, and it’s bouncing around day to day as those assessments change.”

Veteran technical strategist Tom DeMark told Bloomberg that a bear market is a likely scenario shortly. “A top is imminent. Too much technical damage has been done. Stocks are vulnerable right now and can easily get hit pretty badly if anything quickly changes on the global trade outlook.”

However, it won’t come as a surprise that Rokos Capital manages gains out of the bleak market (if the current predictions hold). They have done it before. As such, it appears wise to get an idea of the hedge fund’s stock picks, especially those with a huge upside potential.
