Marvell shares tumble 8% after underwhelming outlook
Marvell Technology shares fell about 8% in premarket trading after the chipmaker raised its fiscal 2028 revenue outlook but failed to meet elevated investor expectations. The company reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $2.7 billion, up 37% year-over-year and $39 million above guidance. Marvell now expects revenue to grow roughly 50% year-over-year to about $18 billion in fiscal 2028, up from a prior forecast of $16.5 billion, but provided limited detail on the outlook. Management said data-center demand remained strong, with data-center revenue accelerating 46% year-over-year. The stock’s momentum was also shaped by a recently announced partnership with Google that allows Google to buy up to 58.97 million Marvell shares at $206.58 each and covers products for Google’s TPU systems. Goldman Sachs analysts noted investor expectations were elevated heading into the quarter.
