Marvell's CEO, Matt Murphy, recently appeared on a CNBC TV show where he shared his thoughts on the company’s $6 billion acquisition of Cavium. He emphasized that this strategic move has positioned Marvell as a key player in cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Murphy was pleasantly surprised by the positive market reaction, noting that both Marvell and Cavium stock prices rose sharply, exceeding his expectations.
During recent investor meetings, Murphy mentioned that stakeholders were keen to see Marvell’s long-term transformation strategy. He outlined the company’s focus on infrastructure, cloud control, and IoT-level business, which aims to support all clouds and edge devices. This shift is expected to drive growth and innovation across multiple sectors.
Murphy took over as CEO of Marvell in July 2016, with three primary objectives: stabilizing the company’s financial health, building a strong leadership team, and reorganizing the business. He described the acquisition of Cavium as part of a broader restructuring plan aimed at strengthening Marvell’s position in the semiconductor industry.
According to Murphy, Marvell is known for its advanced technology, architecture, engineering, and product offerings. He stated that the company will refocus on storage, networking, cloud computing, and infrastructure markets—areas that will drive future growth. Last year, Marvell made significant progress in aligning with customer needs and is now leveraging cash and debt financing to support the Cavium merger.
The deal is also helping Marvell diversify its business and reduce its reliance on hard drive sales, which previously accounted for 40% of revenue but now make up about 25%. A large portion of this remaining segment comes from growing areas like data center storage, high-capacity drives, and nearline storage solutions.
In addition, Murphy highlighted that the acquisition will create a leader in providing silicon, software, and end-to-end solutions for the cloud and industrial IoT. “This is an exciting combination,†he said. “By merging two highly complementary companies, we can make a bigger impact. More data will be connected to the internet through our combined technologies in the future.†He expressed confidence that the merger would unlock new opportunities and strengthen Marvell’s competitive edge in the evolving tech landscape.
