What this means for investors Marvell Technology held an investor day conference on Oct. 6, where management shared updated revenue guidance that exceeded Wall Street expectations. This was behind its stock's 5.81% increase. The company raised its revenue outlook for its 2028 fiscal year (FY), ended Jan. 31, 2028, to $20 billion. That's up from Marvell's prior guidance of $18 billion in August. But that's not all. Management set a FY2031 target of $70 billion to $90 billion in sales, and an earnings per share (EPS) target of $30 or more. Marvell ended FY2026 with diluted EPS of $3.07, so its forecast anticipates spectacular growth ahead. Investors are treating the update as a strong growth signal for the artificial intelligence sector's infrastructure buildout. Marvell's estimates are based on robust demand for its custom chips and networking gear for AI data centers. Earlier this year, Nvidia invested $2 billion in Marvell Technology and launched an AI partnership. That deal remains a key strategic reference point for investors watching custom AI demand.
