    Marvell Posts Record Q2 Revenue but Guides Lower Gross Margin

    Question

    Marvell Posts Record Q2 Revenue but Guides Lower Gross Margin

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology posted Q2 fiscal 2027 net revenue of $2.739 billion, up 37% year-over-year, supported by accelerating demand for custom AI accelerators and electro-optics interconnects. Despite raising full-year revenue expectations, the company reported a year-over-year gross margin decline to 58.9% from 59.4%. Forward margin projections triggered sharp after-hours selling, with management guiding Q3 non-GAAP gross margin to a range of 57.5% to 58.5%. The compression reflects a faster revenue transition toward customized compute silicon, which carries lower gross margins than standard proprietary merchant networking silicon.
