CRDO

Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ:CRDO | CRDO Price Prediction) is the quiet AI infrastructure story that suddenly is not quiet anymore.

CRDO is riding AI infrastructure demand, with revenue, margins and connectivity products fueling strong growth despite key customer risks.

The AI boom is reshaping the market well beyond its most obvious beneficiaries—tech, energy, and utilities firms—and some of the best ways to benefit from it have largely gone overlooked. Even within a prominent AI industry like semiconductors, some companies have unique opportunities to serve as pick-and-shovel investments due to their role within the complex AI supply chain.

BMA, CRDO and APPS made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) growth stocks list on July 7, 2026.

Credo Technology Group remains a Buy, supported by strong catalysts and robust growth in both copper and optical connectivity solutions. NVIDIA's Kyber NVL144 delay extends the relevance and demand for CRDO's high-margin copper AEC business, creating a near-term tailwind. CRDO's optical, ALC, and OmniConnect initiatives position the company for multi-year growth, with management targeting $600M in optical sales by 2027.

Credo's retimer business hits an inflection point as demand for 100G and 200G per lane solutions grows, fueled by AI networking needs and design wins.

AI hardware opportunities expand beyond NVIDIA as Micron, Credo, Amkor and Texas Instruments tap into the rising demand across the chip supply chain.

Semis put in a powerful performance in Q2 2026 thanks to things going its way, which more than made up for what happened in Q1 2026. It is not the only thing that matters, but if semis are to add to gains in H2 2026, AI will need to keep driving growth forward. The AI thesis remains intact, but recent developments leave open the possibility the thesis could still turn out to be flawed.
