Marvell Technology shares fall despite strong AI-driven revenue growth
Marvell Technology shares experienced a significant decline following its fiscal second-quarter earnings report, despite the company beating revenue and earnings expectations. Total revenue rose 37% year-over-year to $2.74 billion, driven largely by a 46% increase in data center revenue.
While the company raised its fiscal 2028 revenue outlook to approximately $18 billion—representing roughly 50% year-over-year growth—the guidance failed to satisfy investor appetite for more immediate momentum. Much of the market's scrutiny focused on Marvell's partnership with Alphabet, which includes products for Google's TPU systems. However, management clarified that the significant financial impact from this deal is not expected to materialize until fiscal 2029.
Marvell continues to expand its footprint in AI infrastructure through custom chip development and optical connectivity. The company maintains strong relationships with major cloud providers, including Amazon and Microsoft, as the industry shifts toward optical networks in data centers. Analysts remain divided on the stock's valuation, with some noting the high premium required to justify its growth trajectory and others viewing the recent price drop as a potential entry point.
