Google's AI Chip Delay and What It Means for Marvell
Yahoo Finance ·
Google's next-generation TPU chip faces a schedule slip due to design revisions, but GF Securities remains confident in Marvell Technology Inc.'s medium- and long-term standing within the supply chain. Part of the Google TPU v9 design was delayed by about three weeks, pushing tape-out to January 2027, mass production to the second quarter of 2027, and shipments to the first quarter of 2028. Packaging substrate yields remain between 45% and 50%. While MediaTek faces near-term headwinds tied to the v9 chip, Marvell's exposure is largely indirect, limiting direct negative impacts. Marvell currently trades at a forward P/E of 63x, a 66% premium to its five-year average, driven by expectations of surging earnings. However, this rich valuation leaves no room for execution missteps. Meanwhile, hedge fund ownership in Marvell rose to 96 funds by the end of Q2 2026, reflecting steady institutional interest despite lingering valuation and timeline concerns.
AI 시장 분석
Google's next-generation TPU chip launch is projected to be delayed by about 3 weeks to 1 quarter due to design changes and a low packaging yield of 45-50%. GF Securities analyzed that this delay does not directly impact Marvell Technology's medium-to-long-term supply chain position, and demand itself remains solid, including from Anthropic. However, with Marvell's forward P/E trading at 63x—a 66% premium over its 5-year average—investors should carefully monitor future valuation burdens and schedule compliance.
상승 영향
- AI — External customer demand for Google TPUs, including from Anthropic, is very robust, and Marvell's position within the mid-to-long-term AI chip supply chain remains intact.
- Semiconductors — Strong earnings growth momentum exists, with Marvell's EPS expected to surge by 48.59% this fiscal year and 72.58% the next fiscal year.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — Google TPU packaging yields are sluggish at 45-50% with delayed launch schedules, and the high forward P/E valuation of 63x reduces the capacity to absorb shocks from earnings delays.
