On June 4, Credo Technology fell 5.24% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately 203.0 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $5 million. The decline represents a continued digestion of post-earnings selling pressure that began after the company reported fiscal Q4 results on June 1.
Credo delivered a beat-and-raise quarter with revenue of $437 million, up 157% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $1.16, exceeding consensus estimates of $1.03 by 12.6%. Next-quarter revenue guidance of $465 million to $475 million also topped analyst expectations of $461.3 million. However, with the stock having already rallied approximately 151% in the quarter and Wall Street having raised earnings estimates 13 times over the prior three months, severe expectation inflation rendered even a strong beat insufficient to satisfy elevated market expectations.
The narrowing beat-versus-expectation margin, combined with concentrated profit-taking from investors who accumulated gains during the prior sharp rebound, has sustained selling pressure in the sessions following the earnings release.
