Why Credo Technology Sank This Week

Credo Technology stock plunged 29.5% this week despite beating earnings expectations with 114.7% revenue growth and 130% EPS growth. The sell-off was driven by margin pressure, with GAAP gross margins falling to 64.5% from 68% last quarter, and higher-than-expected stock-based compensation. At a valuation of ~50x true forward earnings when accounting for stock dilution, investors viewed the results as insufficient given the company's already high valuation.
