ℹ️ How are these calculated?
COMPOSITE = Σ(event relevance × event probability) × entry quality / 100. Combines how much this stock benefits from macro events with how good the entry point is right now. For CRDO: (92 × 85% + 0 × 60% + 0 × 35% + 5 × 55% + -5 × 0% + 0 × 0% + 0 × 0%) × 89/100 = 72. Higher is better. Range: typically 0–100.
BULL UPSIDE = (bull price target − current price) / current price. For CRDO: ($260 − $122) / $122 = +113%. This is the maximum upside if the most optimistic analyst thesis plays out.
ENTRY QUALITY (0–100) = how attractive the current price is as a buy point. Based on: % below all-time high (-43%), upside to bull PT (+113%), forward PE (28x vs sector), and analyst conviction. Score: 89. Excellent entry — significantly below ATH with strong upside.
CONFIDENCE = our overall conviction in the thesis (0–100%). Factors: strength of catalysts, analyst coverage quality, thesis durability, risk/reward skew.Moderate conviction — thesis is solid but risks are material.

🎯 Investment Thesis

Credo dominates AECs with 75-88% market share — the critical 'last meter' connecting GPUs in AI data centers. Just pre-announced Q3 revenue of $404-408M (well above guidance) and raised FY2026 outlook, guiding 'more-than-triple' revenue growth over next 2 years. Forward PE compressed to 30x from 117x trailing as earnings catch up. Blue Heron 224G retimer and new optical DSPs launching. At 40% below ATH ($214), still the best risk/reward entry in AI connectivity.

⚠️ Key Risk

30x forward PE (trailing 117x) as earnings catch up to stock price. Revenue concentrated in 2-3 hyperscaler customers. Roth Capital lowered PT from $250 to $200 despite maintaining Buy. Rosenblatt initiated at only Neutral ($170). If optical beats copper at rack-scale, thesis breaks entirely.

Company Background

Founded in 2008 by a team from Marvell. Their AEC cables solved a critical problem — connecting GPUs across short distances more reliably and cheaply than optical fiber.
