Marvell Technology Inc ( MRVL ) shares are trading higher by 15.8% to $125.30 since Friday’s open. The stock is likely being bolstered by Broadcom's impressive earnings report from last week and its upbeat projections for AI growth, which underscored the immense potential in the custom chip (ASIC) market.

Both companies are major players in developing ASICs tailored for hyperscale AI infrastructure, essential for data centers supporting advanced AI workloads and the proliferation of generative AI models.

What Happened: Broadcom last week revealed its AI-related revenue is set to grow from $15-$20 billion in 2024 to $60-$90 billion by 2027, driven by surging demand from hyperscalers like Google.

While Broadcom leads in deploying 3nm ASICs, Marvell ( MRVL ) is well-positioned to benefit from this trend, serving overlapping customers with a complementary portfolio of custom chips and networking solutions critical for AI cluster performance.

The AI market’s rapid expansion, with Broadcom projecting a 40%-50% annual growth rate in AI revenues, validates strong demand for ASIC technology. Marvell’s expertise in high-speed data transport and networking, which connects compute nodes in AI systems, aligns it with this momentum.

Investors might see Marvell ( MRVL ) as a natural beneficiary of the growing AI serviceable available market, as it strengthens partnerships with hyperscalers and accelerates its own next-gen ASIC roadmap.
