    Marvell Q2 Revenue Up 37% to $2.74B, Gross Margin Guidance Triggers 8% Drop

    Question

    Marvell Q2 Revenue Up 37% to $2.74B, Gross Margin Guidance Triggers 8% Drop

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology posted record fiscal second-quarter 2027 revenue of $2.739 billion, representing a 37% increase year-over-year, supported by robust enterprise and hyperscale AI bookings. However, profitability metrics showed margin dilution as non-GAAP gross margin contracted to 58.9%, down from 59.4% a year earlier. For the third quarter, management projected gross margin to contract further into a 57.5% to 58.5% range. The margin pressure reflects an expanding mix of custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) solutions, which carry structurally lower gross margin profiles compared to standard merchant silicon products.
