Did CRDO Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results

Credo Technology Group delivered a blowout first fiscal quarter of 2026, posting non-GAAP earnings of $0.52 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.36, a 44.20% beat, while revenue of $223.07 million cleared expectations by 17.02% and rocketed 273.6% year over year. <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/09/03/live-will-credo-soar-after-earnings-tonight/">Shares jumped on the results</a> as investors responded to deepening hyperscaler partnerships and surging demand for power-efficient, high-speed connectivity in AI-driven data centers, which drove product sales to $217.06 million and pushed GAAP gross margin to 67.4%, up sharply from 62.4% a year ago. The company also swung to GAAP net income of $63.40 million, compared to a loss of $9.54 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had already been revising estimates upward heading into the print, citing the company's positioning in AI infrastructure connectivity. Looking ahead, Credo guided second-quarter revenue to $230 million to $240 million, signaling continued sequential growth even as gross margin is expected to moderate slightly to a range of 64% to 66% on a non-GAAP basis.

Key Takeaways
  • 274% year-over-year and 31% sequential revenue growth driven by hyperscaler partnerships
  • Strong product sales revenue growth to $217.1 million from $57.3 million year over year
  • GAAP gross margin expansion to 67.4% from 62.4% in the year-ago quarter
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 43.1%, up from 3.7% a year ago

“During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Credo continued a strong growth trajectory. First quarter revenue increased 31% sequentially, and 274% year over year, to $223.1 million. The Company's growth has been driven by deep, strategic partnerships with hyperscalers and key customers. Given increasing market demand for reliable and power-efficient connectivity solutions, we expect continued revenue growth and diversification in terms of customers, protocols and applications.”
