Based on the current growth trend, MRVL predicts that its interconnect business will grow more than 50% in fiscal 2027.
MRVL’s custom AI silicon products and next-generation switch offerings are also gaining traction. While MRVL’s data center switching solutions showed a strong growth in fiscal 2026, with revenues crossing $300 million on the back of scale-out applications, custom silicon reached $1.5 billion.
Looking ahead, MRVL expects its switching solutions to grow beyond $600 million in fiscal 2027. MRVL expects its custom silicon to grow 20% year over year in fiscal 2027. AEC and retimers are expected to double in fiscal 2027, driving the data center business. This outlook is supported by continued AI investments and higher product use inside AI systems.
MRVL’s wide data center product lineup puts it in a good position to benefit if AI infrastructure spending continues, while the recent geopolitical concerns remain an overhang on the execution. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MRVL's 2027 revenues suggests a year-over-year increase of 34.2%.
How Competitors Fare Against MRVL
