Marvell Technology Group (NASDAQ: MRVL) on Thursday reported better-than-expected results, sending the stock up 2% during after-market hours.
The chipmaker reported a 9.6% growth in revenues to $662 million in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EPS, meanwhile, halved year-over-year to 16 cents per share. Analysts were expecting the chipmaker to post Q1 earnings of 14 cents per share on revenues of $650.21 million.
Marvell stock has gained 34.5% so far this year.
Outlook
For the second quarter, the company projects revenue to be about $650 million, while adjusted earnings are expected to come in the range of $0.13 to $0.17 per share.
Marvell CEO Matt Murphy said, “With the production ramp of our first 5G products later this year, and a growing pipeline of new wireless infrastructure design wins, Marvell is well positioned to becoming a leading silicon supplier to this market.”

Marvell and its peers have been facing the brunt of weak macros, reduction in spending from their clients and a shortage of CPUs, which has been reflected in their earnings. However, the company is seeing strong demand for its networking products from 4G and 5G deployments.
