Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) boosts buyback by $5B and launches $1B ASR

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Marvell Technology, Inc. reported that its Board of Directors authorized a new $5 billion addition to the balance of its existing stock repurchase program, expanding the company’s capacity to return capital through share buybacks. The company also entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the ASR Agreement) with a financial institution to repurchase an additional $1 billion of its common stock, on top of $300 million already repurchased in the current quarter.

Under the ASR Agreement, Marvell will prepay $1 billion on September 25, 2025 and expects an initial delivery of approximately 10.7 million shares, with the final share count based on the volume-weighted average price during the agreement term, less a discount and subject to adjustments. As of the company’s fiscal quarter end on August 2, 2025, $2.0 billion remained available under prior authorizations, and since then it has repurchased an additional $300 million of common stock. The ASR will be funded with existing cash and is scheduled to settle by the end of calendar year 2025, with customary provisions that could change the timing.

Insights

Capital allocation and buyback strategy analyst

Marvell significantly expands its buyback capacity and uses an accelerated repurchase to front‑load share retirement.

Marvell Technology’s Board authorized a new $5 billion increase to its existing stock repurchase program and concurrently committed to an accelerated share repurchase for $1 billion. This follows a prior $3.0 billion authorization in March 2024 and ongoing open‑market repurchases, indicating sustained emphasis on returning cash to shareholders via buybacks funded from existing cash resources.

The ASR structure means Marvell prepays $1 billion on September 25, 2025 and receives approximately 10.7 million shares immediately, with the final number tied to the volume‑weighted average price over the ASR period, less a negotiated discount. Depending on the stock price path, either the Dealer delivers additional shares to Marvell or Marvell delivers shares or cash at settlement, so the ultimate economic outcome depends on trading dynamics during the term.

The company notes that the ASR is expected to settle by the end of calendar year 2025, but the Dealer may elect to end it earlier under customary provisions. Future disclosures in periodic reports and updates on remaining authorization balances will clarify how much of the enlarged $5 billion authorization is ultimately used and how the pace of repurchases evolves over time.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 24, 2025, Marvell Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion addition to the balance of its existing stock repurchase program.

In addition to this stock repurchase authorization, the Company announced that it is entering into confirmations, including a supplemental confirmation (collectively, the “ASR Agreement”), of an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a counterparty financial institution (the “Dealer”). Under the ASR Agreement, the Company will repurchase an aggregate of $1 billion of the Company’s common stock. This is in addition to the $300 million already repurchased in the current quarter as noted below.

Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, the Company will pre-pay an aggregate amount of $1 billion to the Dealer on September 25, 2025, and expects to receive on the same day an initial delivery of approximately 10.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock from the Dealer. The final number of shares to be repurchased by the Company will be based on the volume-weighted average stock price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At settlement, under certain circumstances, the Dealer may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of common stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to the Dealer. The final settlement under the ASR Agreement is scheduled to be completed by the end of calendar year 2025 but may conclude earlier than its scheduled termination date at the election of the Dealer. The ASR Agreement contains provisions customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances generally under which the transaction may be accelerated, extended or terminated early by the Dealer, and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another. The Company is funding the share repurchases under the ASR Agreement with existing cash resources.

On March 7, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $3.0 billion addition to the balance of its existing stock repurchase program. As of August 2, 2025, the date of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter end, $2.0 billion remained available for future stock repurchases. Since August 2, the Company has repurchased an additional $300 million worth of common stock and under the ASR Agreement, the Company will repurchase an aggregate of $1 billion of the Company’s common stock.

A copy of the press release announcing the new stock repurchase authorization and the Company’s entry into the ASR Agreement is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
