Marvell Technology shares fall despite Q2 earnings beat and higher revenue outlook

Marvell Technology (MRVL) reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.739B (+37% YoY) and EPS of $0.94, beating estimates. It raised FY2027 revenue outlook to $12B and set FY2028 target at $18B. Despite this, shares fell 7.9% pre-market, possibly due to lower-than-expected long-term growth expectations. Q3 gross margin is expected to decline due to lower-margin AI silicon. Data center revenue hit a record $2.17B (+46% YoY).
