Click here to know how Marvell Technology’s overall fiscal second-quarter results are likely to be.
Momentum in Data Center Business to Drive MRVL
Marvell Technology’s data center segment is thrusting its growth, propelled by the growing adoption of AI computation across both hyperscale and enterprise spaces. In the last quarter, the data center business reported record revenues of $1.44 billion, marking 76.5% year-over-year growth. The robust revenue growth in the data center segment was driven by the growing demand for custom AI silicon, high-performance networking chips and electro-optics solutions.
For the second quarter, Marvell Technology’s data center revenue growth is likely to have been backed by robust traction across its offerings and supply-chain efficiency. The company’s partnership with cloud computing leaders, including Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), through multi-year agreements reinforces its leadership in delivering AI-optimized silicon solutions. Our model estimates that second-quarter data center revenues will reach $1.5 billion, implying a robust 70.4% year-over-year growth.
MRVL’s Custom AI Silicon Underpins Its Expansion
Marvell Technology is experiencing strong traction for its AI semiconductor offering on the back of its custom AI silicon programs. The company has expanded its 100-billion-transistor AI accelerators, providing early silicon success to customers. These advanced custom chips have allowed Marvell Technology to forge deeper collaborations with hyperscale players seeking the optimized AI workloads with custom solutions.
MRVL’s ability to design and manufacture high-performance, power-efficient AI processors gives it a competitive edge in the rapidly growing AI data center market, enabling it to expand its pipeline across multiple customers. The growing demand for custom AI silicon is anticipated to have driven the data center revenues in the second quarter.
Electro-Optics & Networking to Boost Growth For MRVL
Apart from custom silicon, Marvell Technology’s electro-optics and high-speed networking segments are also likely to have contributed significantly to the second-quarter revenues. The company’s 800-gig PAM and 400ZR interconnect solutions have seen strong order momentum, helping hyperscalers manage the exponential growth in AI-generated data traffic.
Marvell Technology has been shipping industry-leading 1.6T PAM DSP technology, which enhances bandwidth efficiency and energy savings for next-generation data center interconnects. Its DSPs for 1.6T optics that reduce power consumption by 20% give it a strong reason for adoption among its customers in the to-be-reported quarter.
Key Segmental Headwinds For Marvell Technology
Marvell Technology’s industrial and consumer segments have been experiencing lumpy order patterns. Its Industrial segment is likely to have suffered a decline offsetting the growth in automotive business. Additionally, the macro environment continues to suppress demand for industrial applications. Moreover, although its Custom AI silicon programs are growing fast, they carry lower gross margins.
Considering all these factors, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for MRVL’s fiscal second-quarter revenues has been pegged at $2.01 billion, indicating a year-over-year rise of 58%. The consensus estimate for second-quarter earnings has been set at 67 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 123.3%.
