New York, Feb 10, 2026, 04:49 (ET) — Premarket
- Credo shares spiked about 17% premarket after the company indicated it beat revenue forecasts for its fiscal third quarter.
- The company expects mid-single-digit sequential growth as it moves into fiscal Q4, and is aiming for revenue to climb more than 200% in fiscal 2026.
- Investors are now waiting for March 2, looking for the complete results, margin details, and updated targets.
Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd saw its stock surge 16.6% ahead of the bell Tuesday, with shares hitting $143.88 following an upbeat revenue update tied to its fiscal third quarter.
Why does it matter? Anyone scrambling for a piece of AI data-center growth has their eyes on Credo. Their chips and cables move data inside those centers. So when revenue jumps out of nowhere—before the full numbers even drop—expect forecasts to shift fast.
Traders are already wading through the chaos in semiconductors—a space where share prices lurch on any hint of shifting demand, supply constraints, or a slowdown in customer orders. Credo stands out here: as a smaller player, it’s exposed to sharp moves in its numbers if it lands (or misses) just a few significant deals.
Credo is now projecting fiscal third-quarter revenue in the $404 million to $408 million range, lifting its previous outlook from $335 million to $345 million. The quarter ended Jan. 31.
The company is calling for mid-single-digit revenue increases quarter over quarter as it moves through the latter part of fiscal 2026 and into 2027. Put another way, for this fiscal year, that guidance points to annual growth exceeding 200%. (“Sequential” refers to quarter-over-quarter changes.) Credo Technology Group
Credo’s full fiscal third-quarter numbers are coming out after the bell on March 2, and the earnings call kicks off at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. For now, the company is stressing that these revenue figures are only preliminary and unaudited; final results could change as they wrap up closing procedures.
Credo released an 8-K that details its operational results and financial status, the company said in a U.S. securities filing.
Credo builds high-speed connectors and hardware for data infrastructure—Ethernet cables, high-bandwidth parts, all aimed at cloud and hyperscale operations.
The company’s earnings beat comes as a wave of AI-infrastructure suppliers report, putting the spotlight on networking and interconnect chipmakers as well. For investors, these names have become a gauge for whether AI spending is finally moving beyond just the big GPU players.
But the risk is obvious. Early numbers often get revised, and margins at those bigger revenue levels are just as critical — particularly when one big customer’s ramp-up accounts for much of the upside, and that might prove temporary. Smaller suppliers sit in a vulnerable spot if hyperscalers decide to change their spending plans or shift their cabling and optics choices; whenever there’s a cutback, they usually feel it first.
March 2 is circled on traders’ calendars. They want answers about what fueled the revenue leap, new signals on customer appetite, and a straight answer: will Credo stick to its vague “mid-single-digit” sequential growth forecast for the fiscal fourth quarter, or finally pin down some real numbers?
