Marvell’s modest Q1 earnings surprise doesn’t impress Wall Street.

Marvell Technologies reported first-quarter earnings of 62 cents per share, slightly beating analysts’ expectations, with revenue at $1.9 billion, in line with forecasts. For the second quarter, Marvell anticipates adjusted earnings per share between 62 to 72 cents, close to the anticipated 67 cents. CEO Matt Murphy expressed confidence, highlighting record revenue driven by strong AI demand and custom silicon programs. Despite the positive outlook, shares declined approximately 2.5% as investors remain cautious, especially following prior stock declines. An AI investor event is scheduled for June 17, drawing interest from shareholders.

Indeed, the stock had already seen significant declines heading into this report. CEO Matt Murphy conveyed a tone of confidence, highlighting record revenue and growth driven by robust AI demand in the data center sector. Revenue is benefiting from the rapid scaling of custom silicon initiatives, which is central to Marvell’s business, focusing on chips for data centers and networking equipment. Additionally, an AI investor event is scheduled for June 17th, so those invested in Marvell should take note of that date, although the stock is currently down about 2.5%.
