- Revenue model
- Transactional semiconductor product sales. Revenue splits between standard products sold to multiple customers and optimized solutions customized to individual customer specifications, with demand for optimized solutions increasing as of the fiscal 2026 10-K filing.
- Products and services
- Custom ASICs, OCTEON data processor units (DPUs), Prestera and Teralynx Ethernet switches (12Gbps to 51.2Tbps capacity), Alaska Ethernet physical-layer transceivers (10Mbps to 1.6Tbps), Ethernet controllers and network adapters, coherent optical DSPs with TIAs and drivers, PAM DSPs, co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions using silicon photonics, linear-drive pluggable optics (LPO) chipsets, fibre channel adapters, storage controllers, multi-core infrastructure processors, and in-development UALink switches and Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking (ESUN) switches.
- Customers and end markets
- End markets are data center (74% of FY2026 revenue) and communications and other (26% of FY2026 revenue). Data center applications include cloud AI systems, AI servers, general-purpose servers, Ethernet switching, network-attached storage, storage area networks, and data center interconnect. Communications and other covers enterprise campus networking, carrier broadband and optical transport, consumer broadband gateways and gaming consoles, and automotive/industrial including ADAS, autonomous vehicles, in-vehicle networking, and U.S. military and government solutions. Customers are predominantly OEMs and cloud operators with manufacturing operations in Asia.
- Value-chain role
- Fabless semiconductor designer. Marvell designs chips and systems-on-chip integrating analog, mixed-signal, digital IP, firmware, and software, then outsources wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, and packaging to third-party manufacturing partners. It sells finished silicon to OEM and cloud customers who integrate the chips into end products.
- Geographic exposure
- Asia-shipped sales represented approximately 77% of net revenue in fiscal 2026, 75% in fiscal 2025, and 70% in fiscal 2024. The majority of products are manufactured outside the United States.
