Overview
- Marvell reported record first‑quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $2.418 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.80, beating estimates on results released May 27.
- Management lifted Q2 revenue guidance to about $2.7 billion and raised its fiscal 2028 outlook to roughly $16.5 billion, pointing to continued strength in data‑center demand.
- Executives said AI‑related bookings were ‘exceptional’ and projected that custom XPU and ASIC sales could reach about $10 billion by fiscal 2029, making custom silicon a central growth pillar.
- Major brokerages responded by raising price targets and keeping buy or overweight ratings, and the stock has more than doubled year to date as investors priced in stronger AI optics and custom‑chip adoption.
- Analysts warn the upside depends on a small group of hyperscale customers and carries risks from intensifying competition in custom chips, semiconductor cyclicality, and supply‑chain or trade disruptions.
