Marvell beat Q1 estimates and issued strong guidance, rallying after-hours despite a -4.6% intraday drop, while Snowflake surged on a Q1 beat and raised full-year guidance. Salesforce also beat on earnings but fell on soft guidance, creating a split post-earnings tape that rewards selective positioning rather than a blanket tech-earnings trade.

Long MRVL into the gap-fill setup — earnings beat + strong guide reverses the -4.6% intraday flush; short CRM as soft guidance overpowers the profit beat with the stock already extended.
MRVL leg fails if AI semis sentiment reverses on macro data (PCE print due) or if after-hours gains evaporate at open; CRM leg fails if the market reads the guidance conservatively and upgrades follow on the earnings quality beat.

MRVL dropped 4.6% intraday likely on pre-earnings jitters, then beat Q1 estimates with strong outlook — classic overreaction-reversal setup.

On the other side, CRM beat earnings but explicitly disappointed on guidance, which historically weighs on software names for 1-2 weeks as models reset; the insider activity (no buys) and 13H in consensus suggests the stock lacks a catalyst to re-rate higher near-term.
