0:00 We got some big news for Marvell Technology stock investors as the management team told investors that they expect demand to be even better than previously estimated. In part three of this deep dive into Marvell Technology, we're going to see some of the sources of that increasing demand for the company's products and services.

0:29 The most recent accelerator of demand for Marvell is the emergence of agentic AI, which the management team says is expected to further supercharge demand for their scale up and scale out XPU attach business. The scale up and scale out business, right, the networking, the connectivity and then the xpu, the accelerators. The custom accelerator business that's attaching to those networking equipment equipment that the company is selling.
1:00 The management team I thought did a great job of explaining and describing how that's creating more demand for their products. So in agentic AI, a single user request may require agents to query AI models many times rather than just once. So that substantially increases the volume of data traffic that must be transmitted and switch with very low latency across larger reaches as well as the amount of memory required.
1:31 Agentic AI is also expected to drive a significant increase in the number of CPUs deployed in AI infrastructure. More CPUs require more NICs, PCIs switches and redimers as well as greater bandwidth and CPU centric front end network. All of that is creating more needs for Marvell Technology and that's creating a boost in demand and orders for its products. They go on to say that demand for their interconnect products continues to accelerate.
2:07 That's the second derivative. The rate of increase is increasing and as a result they've increased their fiscal year 2027 revenue growth expectations for this part of its business to more than 70% year over year. That's nearly doubled the rate of its overall revenue expectations, which are roughly 40% for fiscal 2027. This part of its business is growing much quicker. So what's now changing most recently is the push to build significantly larger AI clusters, which increasingly must span multiple data centers due to power and space constraints.
2:47 And that's the big difference lately is these data centers are increasingly being built in clusters connectivity connection between each accelerator and the overall data center. Whereas it was less important in previous generation data centers, it's more important in current data centers to connect all of them together, which creates increasing power because of the concentration of the computing power in conjunction with the build out so the aggregate bandwidth requirements for scale across networks are projected to be more than 10x higher than those of the current front end DCI networks.
3:34 So this is creating a huge increase in the needs of connectivity compared to previous generation networks. So that trend positions Marvell to extend their technology leadership into the emerging scale across market. Supported by their proven expertise in high volume manufacturing of these highly specialized and complex modules. The management team believes that scale up interconnectivity represents a massive new total addressable market that'll likely be served by multiple photonic technologies and architectures.
4:10 And they're investing aggressively to establish leadership across all of them. So when you think about the data center, you think about scaling up in racks and then scaling out. Okay, so Marvell Technologies already has leadership position in scaling out and it's trying to establish leadership position in scaling up up. And that's a new opportunity that Marvell Technology is investing to capture. And given its success in other parts of the data center in connecting these switches and computers and GPUs all together, investors can be reasonably confident that Marvell's management team will be able to deliver on their investments in this new category.
4:59 Investors can be reasonably confident, that is that Marvell's investments in research and development will result in products that are effective in meeting what the market needs in this specific product category. So Marvell is already in engagement with multiple tier one customers for their scale up switch portfolio. And given the size of this market, each of these engagements represents a multi billion dollar lifetime revenue opportunity.
5:32 So these are likely, you know, companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta platforms, Oracle, etc, and they're communicating with them, trying to sign deals for their switch up portfolio. And if they are to sign a deal with even one of them, that could represent a multi billion dollar deal. And that's a big deal for Marvell Technology. Remember, over the trailing 12 months, Marvell generated $8.7 billion in revenue.
6:07 So if they were to sign one of these engagements, multibillion dollar deal, that's a meaningful percentage of the company's overall revenue and a meaningful boost to the company's revenue. And given that the company generates gross profit margins above 50% on their overall product portfolio, it's reasonable to assume a similar profit margin for any new engagement that they're currently working on. So that could be a big catalyst for Marvell Technology stock investors.
6:41 That's something that you can look out for, an announcement between Marvell and perhaps a large customer for a multi billion dollar, multi year engagement. And that announcement in and of itself could be a big boost to Marvell's share price, which is already up over 200% year to date in 2026. So certainly big news for Marvell stock investors. Great news for Marvell stock investors as the company's share price continues to soar on the back of this booming demand for artificial intelligence and the intricate and complex products that are going into those data centers to create and support those large language models that are gaining in popularity with consumers and enterprises.
7:29 And then Agen AI, which is now just getting off the ground over the previous three to six months. And so that's creating new and great opportunities for Marvell stock investors. But there's more to cover in this deep dive into Marvell stock. The next part in this series is popping up on your screen. Click that link and I'll see you there. To continue this deep dive.
