Marvell Technology jumps after raising sales guidance for the next two years

Marvell Technology’s robust outlook is carrying the day after the custom chip designer’s Q4 results came in only fractionally above estimates.

For the final quarter of its fiscal 2026, the custom chip designer reported:

  • Net revenue of $2.22 billion (estimate: $2.21 billion).

  • Adjusted net income per share of $0.80 (estimate: $0.79).

For Q1, management offered guidance for:

  • Net revenue of $2.4 billion, plus or minus 5% (estimate: $2.28 billion).

  • Adjusted net income per share of $0.79, plus or minus $0.05 (estimate: $0.75).

During the conference call, management said that full-year sales for fiscal 2027 would be “approaching $11 billion,” up from its guidance of “approximately $10 billion” in December.

“We expect Marvell’s overall revenue in fiscal 2028 to grow close to 40% year over year, reaching approximately $15 billion, roughly $2 billion higher than the outlook we provided in our December earnings call and driving our non-GAAP EPS to well over $5,” CEO Matt Murphy said on the conference call.

Wall Street estimated Marvell’s full-year sales for fiscal 2027 (roughly calendar year 2026) would be a little over $10 billion and a little less than $13 billion for the following year, roughly in line with the firm’s previous guidance.

Shares extended gains as much as 15% after this boost to the outlook, and are up double digits in premarket trading on Friday.

Last year, there was substantial confusion about the status of Marvell’s relationships with its two biggest hyperscaler clients going forward, with some analysts and media reports indicating that the firm was going to lose some of this business and others saying these custom chip programs remain on track.

Near the end of the conference call, Murphy detailed how “fired up” he was over these reports:

“I’m going to ignore the noise. I mean, if you actually look at last year and all the different things that came out and all the different noise that was out there, it was all wrong. I mean, you had actually analysts retracting notes. You had articles that weren’t even accurate at all. Honestly, it was all noise. Look at our results that we’re guiding. Look at our outlook for this year. Look at our outlook for next year. Do you see me blinking? You don’t.”

Alaska Air expects higher fuel costs to add $600 million in expenses in Q2

Alaska Airlines on Monday kicked off a big week for airline earnings, reporting its first-quarter results after the bell. The stock ticked down after hours.

Alaska Air reported:

  • An adjusted loss of $1.68 per share, compared to Wall Street estimates of a loss of $1.65 per share.

  • $3.3 billion in revenue, compared to estimates of $3.29 billion.

  • A 17% year-over-year increase in fuel costs to $796 million.

Looking ahead, Alaska said it expects a second-quarter loss per share of $1, deeper than the Wall Street consensus (-$0.15). The company expects April fuel costs of $4.75/gallon and for fuel across the second quarter to add $600 million in expenses.

“Absent the fuel price spike, we would have guided to a solidly profitable quarter,” the airline said in its release.

Alaska Air, like the rest of the commercial airline industry, has been pummeled by fuel costs since the beginning of the war in Iran. Along with Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue, the carrier recently hiked its bag fees to offset higher fuel costs.

Fermi plunges after CFO, CEO depart

Fermi is down more than 18% in premarket trading after it disclosed in regulatory filings that its now former CEO, Toby Neugebauer, and its CFO, Miles Everson, departed on Friday and Monday, respectively.

The company dubbed its executive shake-up as “Fermi 2.0.” In addition to ousting Neugebauer and Everson, Fermi added Marius Haas as chairman of its board and Jeffrey S. Stein as director of the board.

Fermi, which was cofounded by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, plans to build nuclear energy infrastructure to power data centers. But the cost to build out its power site is mounting while it still doesn’t have any customers secured, according its annual report released on March 30.

In September, Fermi announced that it had entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a tenant to lease a portion of its Project Matador power grid site in Amarillo, Texas. That contract was terminated in December.

The company, which went public in October, is down about 75% from its IPO through Friday’s close.
