    Question

    Marvell Drops 8% After Hours on Gross Margin Guidance Compression Despite 37% Sales Growth

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology demonstrated strong top-line momentum with 37% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 fiscal 2027, reaching $2.739 billion on elevated AI infrastructure demand. However, gross margins contracted to 58.9%, with management projecting further softening in Q3 to between 57.5% and 58.5%. The margin dilution triggered an 8% sell-off in extended trading.
