    Marvell Slides 8% After-Hours as Q3 Gross Margin Guide Contracts to 57.5%-58.5%

    Question

    Marvell Slides 8% After-Hours as Q3 Gross Margin Guide Contracts to 57.5%-58.5%

    Direct answer

    Marvell Technology reported record Q2 fiscal 2027 revenue of 2.739 billion dollars, marking a 37% year-over-year expansion supported by robust AI networking and custom compute orders. Full-year revenue expectations were raised. However, non-GAAP gross margin compressed to 58.9% compared to 59.4% a year earlier. Guidance for Q3 gross margin of 57.5% to 58.5% catalyzed an 8% selloff, reflecting market sensitivity to profitability dilution in custom silicon engagements.
