Marvell's Share of the AI Storm: Behind the Scenes of the Growth Story $MRVL
Analysts expect 35% revenue growth in the second quarter; strong demand for custom chips and interconnection solutions is making Marvell a key player in the AI infrastructure game.
Marvell Technology continues to be one of the biggest winners of the AI data center boom. The company's second-quarter revenue is expected to reach $2.7 billion, up approximately 35% year-over-year. The main driver of this growth is the exceptional performance in the data center segment. In the first quarter, data center revenue reached $1.83 billion, accounting for 76% of total revenue.
Growth Engines: XPU and Optical Interconnect
Marvell's growth strategy rests on two main pillars:
1. Custom AI Chips (XPU): CEO Matt Murphy notes that the company is experiencing an all-time high level of activity in custom AI chip designs. Marvell plays a critical role in the design of chips that hyperscalers develop specifically for their needs. Murphy predicts that growth in this area will exceed 20% in fiscal year 2027 and double in 2028. The company's target for private chip revenue in fiscal year 2029 is $100 billion.
2. Optical Interconnect Solutions: As AI clusters grow, data flow between chips and servers is becoming a critical bottleneck. Marvell's 800G and 1.6T optical interconnect solutions are designed to address this issue. Murphy notes that this business line is growing at an annual rate of over 70% and still has upside potential.
The Wind from NVIDIA
At COMPUTEX 2026, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's statement, referring to Marvell CEO Matt Murphy, "Here's the next trillion-dollar company," fundamentally changed the market's perception of Marvell. This approval created an "NVIDIA effect," confirming Marvell's importance in the AI ecosystem.
Future Outlook
Marvell raised its revenue target to $115 billion for fiscal year 2027 and set a target of $165 billion for 2028. Murphy emphasized that the company's growth story is still in its early stages, stating, "AI-related orders are extraordinarily strong."
The critical question for investors is: How much of this growth is priced in? Marvell is trading at a valuation well above the industry average. The main focus in the coming period will be whether the company can meet these high expectations.

MRVL is releasing its Q2 FY2027 earnings at market close today: Wall Street expects $2.71 billion in revenue and $0.93 in earnings per share.
The company's own guidance is $2.70 billion and $0.93 – a difference of only 0.3%. For the past four quarters, MRVL has exceeded EPS expectations by an average of 0.1%. The possibility of a "surprise" this quarter is almost nonexistent. The real story isn't in today's numbers, but in the filing with the SEC on August 19th.
Google Agreement: 240-Piece Warrant
Google acquired a warrant for 58,970,907 shares in MRVL. The exercise price is $206.58. The stock closed at $245.12 yesterday – meaning Google is up 19% even before a single tranche is vested.
The crucial part is the vesting terms:
• Almost all of the stock tranches (57.6 million units) will be vested in 240 installments.
• Each installment opens with Google purchasing $500 million worth of private chips from MRVL.
• 240 × $500 million = $120 billion
This is less of a customer contract and more of a "purchase route" that Google is writing to MRVL. And the first lights of this route will start flashing with the Q3 guidance to be given tonight. Because the purchase-based tranches are going into effect in the third quarter of FY2027.
Stock: Recovery from the Fall
MRVL had fallen as low as $163.39 on July 29th – the day the Google deal was signed. It recovered following the news of the deal and closed at $245.12 yesterday.
• Year-to-date return: 179%
• Sector average: 27.5%
• Forward P/S multiple: 14.40x – sector average 5.06x
• 75% of analysts recommend BUY
• Average target price: $269
• Most optimistic: $400
My 3 Scenarios
📈 Bullish Scenario:
Revenue $2.77 billion or more, Q3 guidance above $3.2 billion. The Google deal is clearly within the guidance and the first tranches are being activated. 77x trailing P/E is the only result justifying the stock's current position.
➡️ Base Scenario:
Revenue between $2.70-2.75 billion, Q3 guidance between $3.0-3.1 billion. Maintaining guidance for the fifth consecutive quarter. Nothing has been confirmed or refuted; the argument is being carried over to Investor Day on October 6th.
📉 Downward Scenario:
Revenue is at the lower end of the guidance range, Q3 guidance is below the $3.04 billion consensus. The Warrant is becoming a "story" rather than a "calendar" – and the 77x P/E ratio has very little ground to stand on.
3 Realities Behind the Numbers
1. Dependence on China
44% of last quarter's revenue came from China; it was 37% a year ago. The US share fell from 16% to 7%. A huge geographic shift in 12 months.
2. GAAP vs. Non-GAAP Gap
Last quarter's GAAP net income was $34.5 million, while Non-GAAP was $718 million – a 20x difference. The majority of this difference stems from $193 million in equity-based compensation and purchase amortization. The Google warrant will add a new item to this picture.
3. New CFO
Dan Durn was appointed CFO in June; today's guidance quarter is his first full term. Former CFO Willem Meintjes left after 10 years to spend time with his family.
The custom chip business is no longer a "design winning" game, but a "funding" game. NVIDIA mobilized $500 billion in third-party capital overnight. MRVL, meanwhile, traded 7% of its shares in exchange for a client's purchase schedule. Same move, different instrument.
The only indicator that would mislead me: Q3 guidance falling below $3.04 billion. The warrant only makes sense when the revenue behind it arrives. $3.04 billion is the threshold that tells Google's acquisitions have begun. Below that, those 240 squares are just a story, not a schedule.
