Where MRVL is headed
By the end of calendar 2027, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) will likely be running close to $9 billion in annual revenue, up from roughly $5.8 billion today, driven almost entirely by data center custom silicon (specifically custom ASICs for hyperscaler AI accelerators) and its 800G/1.6T electro-optics portfolio. The company has locked in design wins with at least three of the top five cloud capital spenders for custom AI training and inference chips, and those programs are ramping production now. If the ramp goes according to plan, Marvell's data center segment alone could represent 75% or more of total revenue, transforming the company from a diversified semiconductor supplier into something closer to a pure-play AI infrastructure vendor.
