On August 17, Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd rose 5.2% in pre-market trading, trading at $274.0/share, with turnover of $49.44 million.

On the news front, optical communication and storage stocks broadly rallied in pre-market trading, extending the sector's strong momentum over the past week. U.S. July CPI and PPI data both came in below expectations, easing inflation concerns and cooling rate hike expectations, prompting capital to flow back into AI infrastructure plays. Additionally, Barclays previously raised its target price on the company from $260 to $300, citing optimism that AI computing expansion will continue to drive sustained growth in demand for high-speed interconnect chips.

Industry data further supports the bullish outlook: Light Counting projects the Ethernet optical module market to grow 65% this year, with 800G module shipments expected to more than double. Credo recently announced plans to contribute its OmniConnect Scale-In interconnect solution within the Open Compute Project framework, targeting memory disaggregation to reduce HBM dependency in AI inference workloads.
