Marvell Reports Thursday. Here's Where the Google Contract Would Actually Show Up in the Numbers.
Marvell Technology (MRVL) reports fiscal Q2 2027 earnings on Aug. 27, with revenue guided at $2.7B (35% YoY growth). The Google contract, announced last week, will not significantly impact this quarter's results, as most of the warrant vests from Aug. 1, 2026. Management expects data center revenue growth to accelerate, a key metric for investors. The stock has surged to $243, near a 4-year high, on the back of the Google deal.
