Marvell Acquires Lumentum in 115 Billion Dollar AI Deal

Marvell Technology is acquiring Lumentum for $115 billion to strengthen its AI infrastructure market position. The deal, announced on November 2, 2026, aims to boost Marvell's optical component capabilities and compete with Broadcom. Marvell's valuation has surpassed $170 billion, with revenue growing from $3 billion in 2021 to $8.2 billion in 2026. Lumentum's optical technology may benefit from proposed US restrictions on Chinese competitors. Nvidia invested in both companies earlier in 2026.
