Goldman Flags Valuation Risk in Marvell Rally, Demands Clear AI Compute Upside

Goldman Sachs stays Neutral on Marvell Technology (MRVL) after another earnings beat, arguing the stock’s 2026 rally has largely priced in the good news and that meaningful upside requires faster growth in Marvell’s custom compute business. The firm maintains a $195 target and wants more detail on Google and Microsoft partnerships and on 2027–2028 data-center revenue targets, with an analyst day as a potential catalyst. Marvell beat Q2 results (revenue $2.74B, up 37% YoY; adjusted EPS $0.94) and guided Q3 revenue to about $3.15B, but Goldman suggests the bar is high to justify higher multiples given the steep rally.

Marvell's Record Revenue Fueled by Data Center Demand and Google Momentum

Marvell Technology posted Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.739B, up 37% year over year, with Data Center delivering a record $2.17B (79% of total) and non-GAAP gross margin at 58.9%; non-GAAP EPS was $0.94 and GAAP EPS $0.33. cash flow from operations was $606M, plus $200M in buybacks and $54M in dividends. Management raised guidance to about $12B for FY2027 and ~ $18B for FY2028, driven by Data Center strength, a broad Google XPU attach program, and accelerating scale-up optics and CXL. Q3 guidance targets revenue around $3.15B (+/-5%), gross margin 57.5-58.5%, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.05-$1.15. Near-term headwinds include mix-driven gross-margin pressure, lumpiness in Communications and Other, and potential execution risk as CFO/IR leadership transitions occur, even as Custom and other growth remain robust.

Huang Bets Marvell as the Next AI-Chip Leader Aiming for a $1 Trillion Valuation

Motley Fool reports Jensen Huang publicly branded Marvell Technology as the next AI-chip stock likely to reach a $1 trillion market cap, citing Marvell’s role in high-speed networking, optical interconnects, and custom silicon that tie GPU clusters together in hyperscale data centers. With AI capex expanding, connectivity is emerging as a key bottleneck, placing Marvell at the center of the AI infrastructure stack. While the company could see meaningful earnings growth if it continues to win in networking and custom silicon, achieving a $1 trillion valuation would require sustained top-line expansion and multiple re-rating, and Fool notes Marvell isn’t currently among its top Stock Advisor picks.

Nvidia Chief’s Praise Pushes Marvell Toward a trillion-dollar Dream

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hailed Marvell Technology as a potential “next trillion-dollar” company, sending MRVL higher after Nvidia disclosed a $2 billion stake. Marvell’s growth story hinges on its connectivity business and optical interconnects for AI clusters, with ~70% growth expected this year and revenue near $11.5 billion, but reaching a $1 trillion valuation would be difficult given margins and current multiples; the stock remains in a high-price landscape despite the endorsement.
