Marvell Technology Inc ( NASDAQ:MRVL ) View Price & Profile Marvell shares jump as Google warrant deepens AI chip partnership Published: 10:49 19 Aug 2026 EDT Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MRVL) issued Alphabet's Google a warrant to buy up to 58.97 million shares at $206.58 apiece, expanding a custom chip partnership between the two companies. The warrant would let Google purchase shares equal to roughly 6.7% of Marvell's shares outstanding if fully exercised, a stake worth about $12.2 billion at the strike price. Marvell shares rose nearly 9% Wednesday morning.
