Broadcom Falls 2% as Google Adds Marvell to Its AI Chip Bench Khac Phu Nguyen Wed, August 19, 2026 at 2:01 PM EDT 1 min read AVGO GOOG MRVL GOOG This article first appeared on GuruFocus . Broadcom ( NASDAQ:AVGO ), the AI-chip and infrastructure-software heavyweight, fell more than 2% in premarket trading Wednesdayand the reason goes straight to the heart of its AI story. Google ( NASDAQ:GOOGL ) just gave Marvell ( NASDAQ:MRVL ) a much bigger seat at the custom-chip table, complete with warrants potentially worth $12.2 billion. Marvell jumped more than 11%. Broadcom went the other way. Wall Street immediately saw the threat: Google wants more suppliers fighting for its exploding AI budget. Is GOOGL fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. But this is not Google dumping Broadcom. Far from it. Broadcom already locked in a long-term agreement with Google to develop and supply future generations of custom AI chips and components through 2031. And the numbers show exactly why that relationship matters. Broadcom's fiscal second-quarter AI semiconductor revenue rocketed 143% year over year to $10.8 billion. AI is no longer just another growth lever for Broadcom. It is becoming the engine investors are paying for. That makes Marvell's Google win impossible to ignore. The danger is not that Broadcom's Google revenue suddenly disappears. The danger is that the pie gets split more ways. More suppliers give Google more negotiating power, more flexibility and another serious option when awarding future AI-chip programs. And Broadcom does not have much room for disappointment. The shares stood at $361.79 on Aug. 19 versus a GF Value estimate of $342.29, leaving the stock 5.7% above GF Value. Broadcom still sits near the center of the custom-AI-chip boom. Now it has to prove it can stay there while the competition gets much hotter.
AI 시장 분석
Broadcom (AVGO) shares fell 2% in pre-market trading after Google diversified its AI chip supply chain by granting Marvell (MRVL) warrants worth up to $12.2 billion. Marvell surged over 11%, emerging as a new competitor. Although Broadcom maintains a long-term contract with Google through 2031, concerns are growing over margin pressure stemming from the supply chain split.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — Google's grant of $12.2 billion in warrants to Marvell and expansion of its AI chip supply chain are expected to kick off Marvell's revenue growth.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — Diversification of the supply chain by major customer Google weakens Broadcom's monopoly and significantly increases the risk of future AI chip margin pressure.
DYAX 전담 분석
Google's supply chain diversification weakens Broadcom's monopolistic position and could act as downward pressure on future AI chip margins. Despite Broadcom reporting a 143% year-over-year surge in fiscal Q2 AI semiconductor revenue to $10.8 billion, its stock remains 5.7% higher than its GF value, making it sensitive to intensified competition.
The bullish scenario is that Broadcom secures core volume from Google through its unrivaled technology and acquires additional big tech clients, while the bearish scenario is that profitability is impaired by intensified unit price competition with Marvell. Investors should closely monitor Google's generation-by-generation chip order share and Marvell's actual delivery speed.
