    Marvell reports Q2 revenue growth but shares slide 8% on contracting gross margin guide

    Question

    Marvell reports Q2 revenue growth but shares slide 8% on contracting gross margin guide

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology demonstrated continued top-line acceleration with record revenue of $2.739 billion, confirming strong volume uptake across data center interconnect and custom compute silicon programs. However, profitability metrics drew an immediate market penalty. With Q3 non-GAAP gross margin guided down to 57.5%-58.5%, down from 58.9% in Q2 and 59.4% in the prior-year period, investors expressed concern over the margin-dilutive nature of rapid custom compute expansion.
