Marvell's Data Center revenue reached $2.17 billion, accelerating 46% YoY while already representing 79% of Marvell's total revenue. FY28 revenue guidance jumped from roughly $16.5 billion to $18 billion, implying approximately 50% annual growth. Optics, switching, analog, and custom silicon are simultaneously accelerating, creating a more diversified multi-engine AI infrastructure franchise.
Every time the hyperscalers write a check to build out AI, one mid-cap chip company's name keeps appearing on the invoice, and the pattern behind that is exactly why this stock stays in the buy column.
Marvell Technology, Inc.'s fiscal Q2 beat-and-raise reinforces accelerating AI infrastructure momentum, with FY2027 revenue guidance lifted by $500 million to $12 billion and FY2028 guidance by $1.5 billion to $18 billion. Key partner and investor Nvidia's latest earnings outperformance also corroborates accelerating AI networking demand across scale-up, scale-out, and increasingly scale-across architectures, validating visibility into Marvell's upside. Specifically, Vera Rubin's multi-rack roadmap is poised to strengthen Marvell's emerging optical and CPO scale-up opportunity, with robust adoption already contributing to its raised FY2028 outlook.
Marvell Technology, Inc.'s shares dropped 10% post earnings as ambiguity around the Alphabet/Google deal tempered investor enthusiasm despite strong data center-driven growth. Q2 sales grew 37% to $2.74B, with Q3 guidance at $3.15B and 50% YoY growth expected, but valuation has expanded to 20x sales at recent peaks. The Google agreement could drive up to $20B in annual product sales, yet guidance implies a more modest $6B incremental revenue, disappointing some expectations.
Marvell Technology, Inc. is upgraded to Strong Buy after a 28% pullback, with valuation now seen as attractive. MRVL has delivered four consecutive double-beat quarters, reinforcing confidence in its AI-driven growth trajectory. Despite a 33x forward P/E, MRVL trades at a 7% PEG discount to peers while posting 31% revenue growth—2.4x the sector median.
Marvell just posted blowout earnings and locked in a landmark Google deal, yet shares fell 10% in a single session. Whether that selloff is a trap or a warning sign depends on what you believe about one very concentrated bet.
The consensus price target hints at a 34.3% upside potential for Marvell (MRVL). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.
