The company also forecasts annualized revenues of over $1 billion from both transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) and drivers, as well as data center interconnect (DCI) modules by fiscal 2028.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Marvell reported a non-GAAP gross margin decrease to 58.9%, down from 59.8% a year prior, although the company saw an operating margin increase to 35%.
