On June 2, Credo Technology declined 11.54% overnight, trading at $200.00 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $48,800.
Despite reporting fiscal Q4 results that beat expectations across all metrics, the stock experienced heavy selling pressure as accumulated rally gains were locked in. The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.16 per diluted share, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.03 by 12.62%, representing a 231% year-over-year increase. Revenue reached $437 million, surpassing expectations of $431.8 million and growing 157% from $170 million a year earlier. Q1 revenue guidance of $465-$475 million also topped the $461.3 million consensus.
However, the stock had rallied significantly from oversold levels after a prior 20%+ decline driven by insider selling and sector profit-taking. The earnings release served as a catalyst for short-term traders to realize gains, with the classic buy-the-expectation, sell-the-fact dynamic dominating overnight trading as selling pressure concentrated at the report window.
