Credo Posts Blowout Quarter as Analysts Raise Targets

The company’s stronger-than-expected Q4 and above-consensus Q1 revenue guide signal growing traction in AI data-center connectivity and higher optical capability contribution next year.

Overview

  • Credo reported fiscal Q4 2026 revenue of $437 million and EPS of $1.16, beating estimates and guiding Q1 FY2027 revenue to $465 million–$475 million after its June 1 earnings release.
  • Management said demand for Active Electrical Cables and other high-speed connectivity for larger GPU clusters drove the quarter and that optical products should contribute meaningfully in FY27 following the DustPhotonics deal.
  • Sell-side and independent analysts raised ratings and price targets after the results, with Mizuho lifting its target to $290 and a Seeking Alpha analyst upgrading to Strong Buy on per-GPU revenue potential.
  • Analysts and commentators flagged near-term risks including elevated inventory levels, heavy reliance on a single top customer for about a third of revenue, dependence on external foundries, and exposure to VC-funded cloud customers.
  • Investors will watch margins, inventory drawdown, the pace of the photonics and OmniConnect ramps, and hyperscaler GPU cluster spending for signs the company can sustain high margins and justify higher valuations.
