Marvell's CEO, Matt Murphy, recently shared his insights on the company's strategic move during an appearance on CNBC. He highlighted that the $6 billion acquisition of Cavium has positioned Marvell as a key player in cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Murphy expressed surprise at how positively the market reacted to the deal, noting that both companies' stock prices rose significantly, exceeding his expectations.
During recent investor meetings, Murphy emphasized that the focus of Marvell's transformation is now on infrastructure, cloud control, and IoT-level business development. This shift aims to ensure that Marvell can support all cloud environments and edge connectivity, creating a more comprehensive solution for its clients.
Since taking the helm in July 2016, Murphy has set clear priorities for Marvell: improving financial performance, building a strong management team, and redefining the company’s direction. He described the acquisition of Cavium as part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at strengthening Marvell’s position in the semiconductor industry.
Murphy sees Marvell as a leader in technology, architecture, and product innovation. “We are refocusing our efforts on storage, networking, cloud computing, and infrastructure markets—these areas will drive the company forward in the coming years,†he said. Last year, the company made significant progress with its customers, and the merger with Cavium is being fueled by available cash and debt financing.
The acquisition is expected to enhance Marvell’s customer base and diversify its business, reducing its reliance on the hard drive segment, which previously accounted for 40% of sales but now makes up just 25%. A large portion of this 25% comes from growth areas such as data center drives, enterprise storage, high-capacity drives, and nearline drives.
In addition, Murphy pointed out that the merger will establish Marvell as a leader in providing silicon, software, and solutions for the cloud, helping to promote the “industrial Internet of Things.†“This is a powerful combination,†he said. “By merging two highly complementary companies, we can make a bigger impact. In the future, more data will be connected to the internet through the combined technologies of Marvell and Cavium.â€
