At that price, the full position would be worth about $12.2 billion. <\/p>\n

The warrant does not force Google to invest that money now. Only about 1.4 million shares become available to Google in the first year, according to Marvell’s SEC<\/a> filing. <\/p>\n The rest is tied to spending.\u00a0 <\/p>\n One block of shares unlocks for every $500 million in custom chip revenue Marvell books from Google, running from the third quarter of fiscal 2027 through fiscal 2033. <\/p>\n To unlock the whole stake, Google would need to buy roughly $120 billion in Marvell products over that stretch, Reuters<\/a> reported.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Google can exercise the warrant until August 18, 2033. <\/p>\n Marvell shares rose sharply on the news of the deal, gaining roughly 10% on August 19 and closing near $234, CNBC<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n Investors reacted to what the deal signals about Marvell’s position.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Google has relied mainly on Broadcom (AVGO) to co-design its Tensor Processing Units, the custom chips that run much of its AI work. <\/p>\n This agreement adds Marvell as a second major supplier inside that system.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Marvell already builds custom silicon for Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT), so the Google deal gives it a foothold with all three of the biggest US cloud providers. <\/p>\n Broadcom shares fell about 4% to 5% the same day as investors considered the new competition.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Story Continues <\/p>\n Broadcom still holds a long-term Google agreement running through 2031, so this is added competition rather than a replacement. <\/p>\n The bull case: locked-in demand and a bigger AI customer <\/p>\n The appeal for Marvell shareholders is the incentive built into the warrant. <\/p>\n Google only earns its discounted shares by spending money with Marvell. That ties one of the largest AI spenders in the world directly to Marvell’s revenue for years. <\/p>\n Big Tech firms are expected to spend more than $700 billion on AI infrastructure this year, Reuters<\/a> reported.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Related: Peter Thiel invests $118 million in surging big tech stock<\/a> <\/p>\n Marvell now has a formal path to a larger share of Google’s portion of that budget. <\/p>\n The work also goes beyond one chip.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Marvell will develop AI inference accelerators, storage controllers, networking hardware, and memory technologies for Google, according to its SEC<\/a> filing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Inference is the stage where a trained AI model answers real user requests, and it is becoming a large and steady source of chip demand. <\/p>\n The risk investors cannot ignore: share dilution <\/p>\n The same warrant that rewards Marvell also carries a cost for existing owners. <\/p>\n If Google unlocks and exercises all 58.97 million shares, Marvell must issue new stock.\u00a0 <\/p>\n That would dilute current shareholders by about 6.3% to 6.7%, Yahoo Finance<\/a> reported.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Dilution means each existing share represents a smaller slice of the company. <\/p>\n Here is the part that softens the concern. Full dilution only happens if Google hands Marvell roughly $120 billion in revenue first. <\/p>\n Many analysts view that as a productive trade. Marvell would give up a share of ownership only in exchange for years of guaranteed sales. <\/p>\n Google would become Marvell’s fifth-largest investor if it fully exercised the warrant. <\/p>\n What still has to happen before the deal pays off <\/p>\n The headline number is large, but it depends on actions that have not yet occurred. <\/p>\n For the full value to arrive, several things need to hold up: <\/p>\n Google keeps buying Marvell chips at scale through fiscal 2033. <\/p>\n Marvell delivers competitive custom silicon on schedule. <\/p>\n AI infrastructure spending stays strong across the cloud industry. <\/p>\n Google’s TPU roadmap continues to rely on outside suppliers. <\/p>\n Not all analysts read the deal as a blow to Broadcom.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Morningstar analyst William Kerwin called it a strong win for Marvell but described it as Google adding new suppliers rather than dropping Broadcom. <\/p>\n Marvell stock versus the broader chip trade in 2026 <\/p>\n Marvell had a rough summer before this deal, and the stock fell sharply in the weeks leading up to the announcement.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The Google news reversed part of that decline in a single session. <\/p>\n Compared with peers, Marvell has lagged the biggest gainers.\u00a0 <\/p>\n AMD (AMD) has surged more than 120% in 2026, while Nvidia (NVDA) is up about 18%<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The Google agreement gives Marvell a specific catalyst that those comparisons did not price in before. <\/p>\n Investors will get another read soon. <\/p>\n Marvell reports quarterly results on August 27, and its management’s commentary on Google demand will matter more than the warrant headline. <\/p>\n What Marvell shareholders should watch next <\/p>\n This deal improves Marvell’s standing, but it is a multiyear setup rather than an immediate payout. <\/p>\n The practical takeaway is to track the spending, not the $12.2 billion figure.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Related: Bank of America doubles down on Micron stock price for 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Each $500 million Google spends unlocks another block of shares, so revenue updates are the clearest sign the deal is working. <\/p>\n Watch three things in the coming quarters: <\/p>\n Marvell’s custom chip revenue from Google, reported over time. <\/p>\n Data center capital spending at Google and Amazon. <\/p>\n Any change in how quickly the warrant tranches vest. <\/p>\n If Marvell can convert this agreement into steady, growing orders, the dilution becomes a fair price for durable revenue.\u00a0 <\/p>\n If Google’s spending comes in slower than expected, the stake stays mostly unearned and the stock loses one of its main supports.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The August 27 earnings report is the next concrete test. <\/p>\n This story was originally published by TheStreet<\/a> on Aug 22, 2026, where it first appeared in the Investing<\/a> section.
