Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
KIRA Β· Marvell Technology had $8.2B of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 42.1% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +22.5% a year on average. Its operating margin was 16.1%, up 28.6Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 16 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $1.4B in fiscal 2026, 17.0% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

KIRA Β· Marvell Technology returned $2.2B to shareholders in fiscal 2026, 161% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 0.5%.

KIRA Β· In the last 12 months, insiders sold $55.1M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
