Marvell (MRVL) still can’t report full results due to the unresolved issues it has with options backdating. But revenue rose 27% to $622 million for the fiscal quarter ending January 27. Perhaps more important, the topline moved up 22% over the immediately previous quarter.

"We are pleased with our results for the fourth quarter," stated Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell’s President and CEO. "During the quarter we successfully completed the integration of the applications and communications processor business we purchased from Intel. As we start a new fiscal year we are excited about the positioning of our advanced product portfolio as well as our ability to deliver solid growth."

Marvell could use a little help from its friends. The stock has fallen from over $36 in January 2006 to the current price of $19.86. The stock ticked up after hours on the earnings news.
