Nvidia Takes $2B Stake in Marvell, Shares Jump
Nvidia announced a $2 billion investment in Marvell Technology, sending Marvell shares up nearly 13%. The deal ties Marvell into Nvidia’s AI ecosystem and includes collaboration on silicon photonics and AI-focused telecommunications infrastructure, intended to make it easier for customers to build on the combined infrastructure. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang framed the move as expanding its ecosystem; Nvidia has recently made several similar $2 billion investments in companies such as Synopsys, CoreWeave, Coherent, Lumentum and Nebius Group. Marvell CEO Matt Murphy said the capital infusion will help accelerate Marvell’s growth amid strong AI-driven demand and that the company had already issued robust guidance for accelerating revenue growth into 2027.
A $2B strategic investment by Nvidia strengthens its AI infrastructure ecosystem and secures deeper collaboration on silicon photonics and ASICs; these moves can affect AI compute supply chains and partnerships that underpin broader cloud and AI deployments.

Nvidia's Huang Names Marvell a Trillion-Dollar Contender
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said onstage at Computex in Taipei that Marvell Technology could become the next trillion-dollar company, praising its networking and connectivity chips as essential to disaggregated data‑center computing. The comments, made alongside Marvell CEO Matthew Murphy, sent Marvell shares up about 25% in premarket trading and left the stock up roughly 158% year-to-date. The article notes Nvidia has committed $2 billion to Marvell and is also investing in other firms developing photonics technology — an approach that uses light to transmit data and is promoted as more efficient than electrical signaling for some AI infrastructure needs. Marvell designs high-performance chips for cloud, AI, enterprise networking, 5G and automotive applications.
Nvidia Pumps $4 Billion into Photonics for AI Revolution
Nvidia announced a combined $4 billion investment into two U.S. photonics companies—$2 billion in Lumentum and $2 billion in Coherent—aimed at strengthening research pipelines and supply chains for AI infrastructure. The agreements include multi-year strategic arrangements with multi‑billion dollar purchase commitments and future capacity or access rights for advanced laser, silicon photonics and optical networking components. Nvidia said the collaborations will advance silicon photonics to support next‑generation, gigawatt‑scale AI data centers. Shares of Lumentum and Coherent rose sharply on the news, and Nvidia stock also gained. Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s founder and CEO, framed the moves as securing sophisticated silicon photonics for large‑scale AI factory builds.
Nvidia Boosts Nebius Stock 16% with $2 Billion Investment
Nvidia announced a $2 billion investment in Nebius Group and a strategic collaboration to deploy AI infrastructure, manage fleets, support inference workloads, and design AI factories. As part of the deal Nvidia will give Nebius early access to its next-generation accelerated computing platform. Nebius said it aims to deploy more than five gigawatts of capacity by the end of 2030. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the partnership as scaling the cloud for rising global demand for intelligence; Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh said the company was built specifically for AI workloads rather than adapted from general-purpose cloud. The announcement follows several other recent $2 billion Nvidia investments in companies such as Lumentum, Coherent, Synopsys and CoreWeave, and sits alongside Nvidia’s larger capital commitments to AI ecosystem players including OpenAI and Anthropic.
