The [Celestial AI deal](/technology/chipmaker-marvell-forecasts-fourth-quarter-revenue-above-estimates-2025-12-02/) adds photonic tech for next-gen data centers, putting Marvell in direct competition with Broadcom [(AVGO.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/AVGO.O) and Nvidia [(NVDA.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/NVDA.O) as hyperscalers race to build faster, energy-efficient systems amid the generative AI boom.
The company also issued a warrant to Amazon.com [(AMZN.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/AMZN.O), allowing the tech giant to buy Marvell shares tied to its purchases of photonic fabric products through 2030.
"In our view, Celestial AI, with blessing from Amazon, bolsters Marvell's CPO (co-packaged optics) technology for custom XPUs and scale-up switching, making Marvell a stronger contender," TD Cowen analysts said.

Photonics fabric tech uses light instead of electrical signals to link AI chips and memory for next-gen data centers.
The Celestial tech will be used in Marvell's next-generation photonics-related infrastructure products, which will contribute to a new $10 billion market for Marvell, CEO Matt Murphy told Reuters on Tuesday.
Celestial's technology is projected to contribute $500 million in annualized revenue by late-fiscal 2028, doubling to $1 billion a year later.
Marvell expects roughly $10 billion in revenue for its next fiscal year, fueled by a 25% jump in data center sales. The Santa Clara, California-based company estimated its custom chip revenue to rise 20% next year.
Marvell trades at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 27.25, below Broadcom's 38.39, according to LSEG data.
