    Marvell Drops 8% After Hours on Q3 Gross Margin Contraction to 57.5-58.5%

    Question

    Marvell Drops 8% After Hours on Q3 Gross Margin Contraction to 57.5-58.5%

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology raised full-year top-line guidance following record quarterly revenue of $2.739 billion, driven by strong AI custom silicon bookings. However, profitability metrics disappointed as Q2 gross margin fell 50 bps year-over-year to 58.9%, with management projecting further compression to 57.5%-58.5% for Q3 due to lower-margin custom compute product ramps.
