Marvell

A fabless maker of custom AI silicon (XPUs) and datacenter optical interconnect (DSP) for hyperscalers, with datacenter over $6B (~three-quarters) of FY2026's $8.195B revenue. As Amazon's Trainium design partner and a Microsoft/Google customer it absorbs custom-silicon demand, outsourcing chips to TSMC (N2, CoWoS) and collaborating on custom HBM with Samsung and SK. It straddles both bottlenecks of the AI datacenter — compute and interconnect.

YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance

The thesis is how much datacenter revenue compounds for the No.2 design partner in hyperscaler custom AI silicon. Datacenter is over $6B (~three-quarters) of FY2026's $8.2B revenue, as Amazon's Trainium design partner and a Microsoft/Google customer absorbing custom-XPU and optical-DSP demand. It outsources chips to TSMC (N2, CoWoS) and collaborates on custom HBM with Samsung and SK, so the supply side (foundry, HBM) moved ahead of its stock. The risks are customer/distributor concentration (one distributor 37%, top-10 customers 82%), custom-silicon competition with Broadcom, and valuation pressure from expectations already priced in.
