On August 24, Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd declined 5.06% in regular trading, trading at $215.925/share, with turnover of $77.33 million. The drop extends a multi-session selloff in the optical communication sector.
On the news front, the optical communication sector has been under sustained pressure following Fabrinet's earnings release. Despite reporting 45% year-over-year revenue growth that exceeded expectations, the market concluded that high-growth assumptions were already fully priced in, sending Fabrinet shares down over 14% and dragging down the broader optical communication complex. Credo Technology had already declined approximately 11% in the prior week. Additionally, broader tech weakness intensified selling pressure, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.4% last week due to underperformance in the information technology sector. Recent insider sales by executives Lam Yat Tung and James Laufman also weighed on sentiment.
Within the Semiconductors sector, Micron Technology fell 5.66%, SK hynix fell 5.53%, Intel fell 3.67%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 2.84%, and NVIDIA fell 0.6%.
