Credo Just Pulled Back—This Might Be the Cleanest Entry Point

By Nathan Reiff. Article Posted: 1/22/2026.

Credo Technology chip with fiber-optic links in data center racks, highlighting AI networking and CRDO stock.

Key Takeaways

  • Credo Technology's revenue has nearly quadrupled in the last year as the company has become increasingly dominant in the data center infrastructure space.
  • Despite a recent dip, Credo's fundamentals show a company with an expanding customer base and future growth potential.
  • The company's ZeroFlap product line should make it invaluable as AI clusters become more common.

In a semiconductor market rapidly approaching $1 trillion, a smaller player like Credo Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDO)—which has a market capitalization of just $27.7 billion—is often overlooked. However, its high-speed, low-latency semiconductors and related products are increasingly crucial to the growing AI and data center industry, which depends on the smooth transfer of massive volumes of data.

After rising 88% over the past year, shares of CRDO have been relatively flat over the past month, gaining just over 2% in that period. The stock has given back about 19% since peaking in early December, a pullback that could present an opportunity for investors bullish on Credo's long-term prospects. Fortunately for this small-but-vital chipmaker, several factors suggest Credo is well positioned to thrive, including strong fundamentals, expanding technology offerings, and a widening market.

Protect Your Bank Account with THESE 4 Simple Steps (Ad)

A sweeping change to U.S. bank accounts could give the government unprecedented powers to track every transaction or even freeze accounts. This warning comes from the same analysts who named 25 banks to avoid before the Great Recession. By the end of 2008, 11 of those 25 had filed for bankruptcy, been bailed out, or bought out, with average stock losses of 81 percent. The New York Times reported they were first to see the dangers and say so unambiguously. There are four simple steps you can take to safeguard your savings.

A look at Credo's latest quarterly earnings (second quarter of fiscal 2026, ended Nov. 1, 2025) shows healthy underlying performance. Record results included $268 million in revenue—nearly quadruple year-ago levels—and roughly $128 million in net income. That growth is being driven by innovative products such as Credo's ZeroFlap Optical Transceivers and strong demand from several major hyperscale customers.

Management is optimistic this momentum can continue. The company raised its third-quarter revenue guidance to $335 million–$345 million; the midpoint would represent about a 27% sequential increase. Credo also finished the quarter with nearly $814 million in cash on hand, a balance that should support further expansion into new market segments.

While expenses are rising and external risks such as tariffs and supply-chain constraints remain, Credo's operational momentum is strong.

Broadening Product Offerings Make Credo a Go-To for AI Infrastructure

As AI clusters become more common and more complex, real-time monitoring tools are essential to detect and address infrastructure issues before they affect performance. Credo's ZeroFlap products and related software are proving valuable to operators, helping maintain cluster health and reliability. As long as data-center and AI workloads keep expanding, demand for ZeroFlap and similar solutions should remain robust.

Credo is also expanding its product portfolio beyond transceivers. The company's acquisition of Hyperlume, announced in September 2025, adds innovative LED-cable technology to its lineup. Thanks in part to that deal, Credo is positioning itself as more of a full-scale AI infrastructure company rather than a narrowly focused supplier.

A Growing Customer Base Could Fuel Further Gains

A common criticism of Credo has been its reliance on a small number of hyperscale customers. In the most recent quarter, four customers each accounted for at least 10% of revenue, and the largest client represented 42%. There are signs, however, that Credo's customer base is broadening, and its expanding product set should help accelerate diversification.

In addition, Credo's leadership in active electrical cables (AEC)—an alternative to traditional direct-attached cables used in large-scale data transfer—gives it meaningful pricing power. That should help the company manage inflationary pressures and improve margin performance over time.

To be sure, Credo is not inexpensive: its price-to-earnings ratio stands at about 134.4 and its price-to-sales ratio near 63.4. Those high multiples reflect strong growth expectations; analysts project earnings to more than quadruple over the coming year.

The stock carries a solid Buy rating, with 14 of 15 analysts rating it positively. Wall Street's consensus price target of $220.42 implies roughly 44% upside from current levels, suggesting investors expect the company to reach new highs.
