Marvell Technology filed documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 19, disclosing that it has expanded its custom semiconductor partnership with Google. The two firms signed a commercial agreement on July 29 covering products related to Google’s TPU ecosystem, including AI inference accelerators, storage controllers, network interface controllers, memory interface controllers, and near-memory computing solutions. As part of the collaboration, Marvell issued warrants to Google on August 18, allowing Google to buy up to approximately 58.97 million common shares of the company at $206.58 per share, with a total exercise value of around $12.2 billion. Of these shares, about 1.36 million will vest over the first year, while the remaining will vest in tranches tied to Google’s future revenue from custom product purchases—one tranche for every $5 billion in revenue—with the longest vesting period extending to fiscal 2033, corresponding to a potential cumulative revenue cap of roughly $120 billion. After the announcement, Marvell’s stock jumped more than 11%, while rival Broadcom’s share price fell. Analysts say the move bolsters Marvell’s position in the custom chip space for hyperscale cloud providers.

Goldman Sachs is testing investor demand for a roughly $1.15 billion junk bond issue, with proceeds earmarked for building a data center leased to AI cloud computing firm CoreWeave. Sources familiar with the matter said the project, located near Richmond, Virginia, is developed by PowerHouse Data Centers (a subsidiary of American Real Estate Partners) and Chirisa Technology Parks, and is slated to hit the market as early as September. The financing comes as investors grow cautious about AI infrastructure debt. With AI data center-related bond issuances surging this year, the market has started demanding higher yields. CoreWeave has previously backed numerous high-yield bond offerings from data center developers via long-term lease deals, though its speculative-grade credit rating has also lifted financing costs.
