Summary
11.09% premarket, Credo shares fell even after fiscal Q1 revenue jumped 114.7% to $479.0 million and topped the $473.3 million consensus, while non-GAAP EPS of $1.20 beat the $1.17 estimate.
GAAP operating expenses more than doubled to $188.4 million from $89.6 million, outpacing sales growth and pushing GAAP operating margin down to 25.2% from 27.2%; share-based compensation climbed to $88.0 million.
Q2 guidance called for $525 million to $535 million in revenue, GAAP gross margin of 62.9% to 64.9%, and GAAP operating expenses of $199 million to $204 million, signaling further cost pressure.
The selloff came despite earlier company projections for more than 85% fiscal 2027 revenue growth and over $600 million in second-half optical revenue, tied to AI infrastructure demand.
