Marvell reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $2.219 billion, exceeding internal guidance and marking a new company record.

Strong infrastructure spending across AI platforms supported higher semiconductor shipments and stronger product mix.
GAAP gross margin reached 51.7%, while non-GAAP gross margin improved to 59.0% during the same quarter. Higher margins reflected improved operating leverage and stronger demand for high-performance networking chips. Meanwhile, operating efficiency helped translate revenue gains into stronger profitability metrics.
