The semiconductor company announced a significant five-year strategic partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS), which is expected to drive innovation and enhance data center infrastructure efficiency.
According to InvestingPro analysis, Marvell is currently trading above its Fair Value. The collaboration will span various AWS products, leveraging AWS's cloud infrastructure while Marvell will supply a wide array of data center semiconductors to AWS.
Marvell's offerings to AWS will include custom AI products, optical and AEC DSPs, PCIe retimers, and Ethernet switching solutions. This partnership underscores a deep integration between the two companies, aiming to bolster AWS's service capabilities with Marvell's advanced semiconductor technologies.
In conjunction with the announcement, Marvell disclosed through an 8K filing a Warrant and related transaction agreement with an AWS affiliate. Under this agreement, Marvell will issue a warrant for the affiliate to acquire approximately 4.2 million shares of Marvell stock, which represents around 0.5% of the company's total outstanding shares. The vesting of these shares is contingent on Marvell's revenue generated from AWS purchasing Marvell products until January 5, 2030.
