    Google Receives Marvell Warrants in Custom Chip Deal

    Question

    Google Receives Marvell Warrants in Custom Chip Deal

    Direct answer

    This unusual deal structure highlights the leverage hyperscalers hold over semiconductor firms. By receiving warrants, Google effectively lowers its net cost of hardware if Marvell's stock appreciates. For Marvell, this secures a massive, predictable customer but at the cost of significant equity dilution (7%). — bullish pressure on GOOGL.
