    Marvell slides 8% as Q3 gross margin guidance overshadows 37% revenue jump

    Question

    Marvell slides 8% as Q3 gross margin guidance overshadows 37% revenue jump

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology reported record top-line performance for Q2 fiscal 2027, generating $2.739 billion in revenue (up 37% year-over-year) and lifting full-year revenue expectations on strong AI custom silicon orders. However, profitability metrics contracted as non-GAAP gross margin slipped to 58.9% from 59.4% a year ago. A disappointing Q3 gross margin outlook of 57.5% to 58.5% sparked concerns over custom compute profitability, driving the stock down 8% after hours.
