Credo Technology: A Often Overlooked but Essential Link in the AI Revolution

While investors mainly focus on Nvidia, AMD, or OpenAI as the leading faces of artificial intelligence, behind this revolution operates a company without which no supercomputer or data center could function – Credo Technology. This firm from California’s Silicon Valley has gradually become one of the most important links in the AI infrastructure chain and, within two years, transformed from an unknown player into a stock market darling, rising toward its all-time high by more than 800%.*

Credo Technology: A Often Overlooked but Essential Link in the AI Revolution

Exponential Expansion

Credo, the giant controlling an 88% market share in the segment of Active Electrical Cables (AEC) – the technology enabling ultra-fast communication between AI servers – was founded in 2008 by former engineers from Marvell. Today, under the leadership of Bill Brennan, the company’s CEO, it boasts a market capitalization of approximately USD 25 billion. For comparison, after going public in 2022, this figure was USD 1.4 billion. This represents a fundamental difference – clearly in a positive light – that gained momentum in 2024, when Credo’s stock price increased by 270%. Currently, in 2025, the company has rewarded shareholders with an additional 100%+ growth.* The global bank JPMorgan also sees an investment opportunity in Credo, having recently upgraded its rating to Buy, with a target price of USD 165 (at the time of writing, the stock traded around USD 140).

Cables Powering Artificial Intelligence

At first glance, it may seem that Credo manufactures “just” ordinary cables, but in reality, these are high-performance data arteries of artificial intelligence. AECs are special copper cables with embedded chips at both ends, enabling reliable connections between processors and graphics processing units (GPUs). The estimated price per cable is USD 300–500, and a single AI server may require up to nine of them. As a result, given the growing demand for data center construction from giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and others, these products can be considered irreplaceable. Additional buzz was sparked by Elon Musk’s photo from his Colossus 2 data center, filled with Credo’s iconic purple cables.

Financial Results

Credo recently published its results for the fiscal year 2025, which clearly highlighted its strong fundamentals. Revenue reached USD 436.8 million, more than double compared to the previous year, while net profit rose to USD 52.2 million, after recording a loss of USD 28.4 million the year before. For fiscal year 2026, analysts from the London Stock Exchange Group expect revenue to approach USD 1 billion. [2]

A Technology Stock of the New Era

In conclusion, based on its intrinsic value, Credo Technology represents a promising investment opportunity for technology-oriented investors seeking to diversify their portfolios. [3] The company does not supply standard, easily replaceable cables but rather sophisticated components essential for the stable operation of the entire AI infrastructure.

Waymo has entered a phase where it’s no longer just about whether an autonomous car can safely navigate a city. What matters most is how many vehicles the company can deploy, how quickly it can enter new markets, and whether it can keep costs under control in the process. This is precisely where a technological demonstration differs from the real transportation business.
