Credo Technology (CRDO) stock whipsaws, rebounds after CTO share-sale filing; Needham talk next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 14:22 EST — Regular session

  • CRDO shares were up 6.7% after dipping about 6% earlier in the session.
  • An SEC filing showed Credo’s CTO sold shares through a family trust under a 10b5-1 plan.
  • Credo said its CEO and CFO will speak at Needham’s Growth Conference on Jan. 14.

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd shares rebounded on Wednesday, up 6.7% at $141.80 after sliding as much as 6% earlier in the session, as investors digested an insider-sale disclosure. The stock swung between $124.85 and $143.14 in heavy midday trading.

The snapback followed two down sessions to start the week. Credo closed down 2.1% on Monday and fell another 5.2% on Tuesday, with more than 7 million shares trading each day, StockAnalysis.com data showed. StockAnalysis

A Form 4 filed on Tuesday showed Credo chief technology officer and director Chi Fung Cheng sold 30,000 ordinary shares on Jan. 2 through the Cheng Huang Family Trust at weighted-average prices ranging from about $141.48 to $151.04. The filing said the sales were made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan — a pre-set trading program that can allow insiders to sell shares on a schedule — adopted on Sept. 5, 2025, and the trust held about 6.42 million shares after the transactions.

Credo, which sells high-speed connectivity chips and active electrical cables used in data-center networks, also flagged its next public checkpoint. The company said on Tuesday that CEO Bill Brennan and CFO Dan Fleming will present at the 28th Annual Needham Growth Conference in New York on Jan. 14 at 9:30 a.m. ET.

The wider tape offered little help in explaining the size of the move. The Nasdaq 100 tracker QQQ was up about 0.4% while the S&P 500 tracker SPY was flat; among AI-linked chip names, Nvidia rose 1.4% and Broadcom gained 1.1%, while Marvell slid 4.3% and Astera Labs added 4.2%. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF was down about 0.6%.

Investors have been leaning on the company’s last outlook as the January quarter runs down. In its Dec. 1 results release, Credo forecast third-quarter revenue of $335 million to $345 million and CEO Brennan called the prior quarter “the strongest quarterly results in Credo’s history.”

But the stock’s reliance on big customers can amplify any wobble in sentiment. Credo’s annual report said one customer accounted for 67% of fiscal 2025 revenue and the top 10 customers made up about 90%, leaving results exposed if large orders shift or slip. SEC

Traders now look to Jan. 14 for any color on demand and whether Credo sticks to its January-quarter targets. Credo’s investor relations site lists the Needham appearance as the next scheduled event. Credosemi
