The market spent Thursday pricing the revenue in Marvell’s new deal with Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google. Friday is about the dilution that pays for it, and the tape is telling two very different stories across custom AI silicon. Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) stock is down 6% to $235.20 in Friday morning trading, giving back part of a 196% year-to-date advance through Thursday’s close.
Meanwhile, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) stock is up 1% to $368.46, with the incumbent custom-silicon supplier on Google’s TPU quietly firming as its challenger sells off. For context, shares of the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) are down 0.8% to $518.43, a modest slip that isolates today’s Marvell move as a single-name event. Alphabet stock was up 9% year to date through Thursday’s close, a very different setup than the AI-silicon names being repriced today.
