Credo Technology tumbles after issuing mediocre guidance

Credo Technology Group is plummeting 17% in early trading after its solid Q3 results released after the close on Monday weren’t enough to offset a ho-hum outlook for the current quarter.

For Q3, the connectivity solutions company posted:

  • Revenues of $407 million (estimate: $406.4 million).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 (estimate: $0.92).

However, for Q4, management said sales would range between $425 million and $435 million, the midpoint of which is modestly below Wall Street’s call for $430.5 million.

Shares of Credo had spiked earlier this month when management released preliminary Q3 figures and signaled that its rapid sales growth would continue.

A trio of Wall Street analysts trimmed their price targets on Credo in the wake of these results:

  • to $125 from $170 at Rosenblatt,

  • to $160 from $200 at BofA, and

  • to $170 from $230 at Susquehanna.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
