Optical revenue targets rise as AI infrastructure ambitions expand

Credo Technology Group is intensifying its push into AI data center infrastructure, highlighted by the 2026 acquisition of silicon photonics company DustPhotonics. The company is aiming for over $600 million in optical revenue for fiscal year 2027, positioning these solutions as a major growth driver alongside its established active electrical cable business. Credo's product portfolio includes SerDes circuits, DSPs, retimers, AECs, optical DSPs, and PCIe connectivity, supporting dense AI hardware communication.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that CRDO’s recent price jump fails to change its entrenched bearish setup. He warns that the stock consistently trades below all critical moving averages and faces unrelenting technical sell signals. Kharitonov sees weak buyer conviction even amid ongoing AI-driven expansion, viewing investor response as short-lived optimism. Momentum points heavily to downside, and any rally risks being unsustainable as the company’s ambitious revenue goals remain unproven in near-term results. "Until CRDO reclaims key resistance and reverses persistent negative momentum, I remain skeptical of a stable recovery," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees CRDO’s strategic pivot into AI data centers and the DustPhotonics acquisition as a long-term growth catalyst. He believes the targeted $600 million in optical revenue and broad portfolio signal strong institutional confidence. The market’s recent rally, though off major supports, highlights persistent demand for advanced connectivity solutions. Karapetjanc expects ongoing innovation to attract sustained capital flows and drive further price appreciation. "I am confident CRDO’s structural growth trajectory remains robust and the stock offers significant upside as AI adoption accelerates," he says.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes that CRDO remains within a technical downtrend despite short-term volatility and news-driven spikes. He notes the oversold RSI and active support near $145.1 as possible setups for tactical mean reversion trades. Still, broader price action suggests waiting for a decisive break above $156.55 to confirm any sustained bullish move. "A bounce from oversold levels is possible, but conviction only returns if resistance gives way in coming sessions," he comments.

Broad technical weakness as oversold momentum persists below support

CRDO is trading below the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $192.77, $197.31, and $180.86, respectively, with the current price at $154.32. This configuration reflects a bearish structure across all timeframes, reinforced by a near-term floor at $145.1 and a ceiling at $156.55. Momentum indicators are decisively negative: the MACD and RSI both deliver sell signals, with RSI at 32.39 confirming lingering oversold conditions. The CCI, Stochastic RSI, and Bull/Bear Power all emphasize continued selling dominance, with BBP at -22.87. The ADX remains neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator validates prevailing bearish momentum. Notably, the stock advanced $7.16 or 4.87% today after an intraday upside gap of 0.41%, closing near the session high amid high volatility of 7.89%, suggesting strong short-term price action despite the broader negative trend.

Earlier, analysts noted that despite Credo Technology Group's strong product launches and earnings, the stock remained under persistent technical pressure. The latest analysis reinforces this bearish outlook, highlighting entrenched downside momentum and suggesting traders monitor the $145.1 level as a critical support in the coming sessions.
