This AI infrastructure leader is setting up for a move to all-time highs, according to the charts

Credo Technology is a relatively new company that came public in 2022 at an approximate $1.5 billion valuation. Amidst the AI boom in the past three years, this company has grown quickly to a $13 billion market cap company. From the looks of things, the stock is going higher. We added the name to our Active Opps portfolio based on technical and fundamental reasons I'll outline below. Fundamentals first: This company is a leader in several areas of the AI infrastructure buildout, particularly high-speed connectivity solutions. A data center is only as helpful as the individual processors and chips can quickly communicate with each other. The company builds both hardware and software stacks that increases the speed, reliability, and security of data via energy efficiencies and protocols to back up their systems. On conference calls, the company is guarded about who exactly the customers are, but large data center hyperscalers include Amazon and Microsoft. The bad news is they have relatively few clients, but the good news is these massive data center buildouts are probably going to continue the buildout for quarters to come. The growth of CRDO indicates that their customer roster may be expanding. Revenue growth (shown below the weekly chart below) in the past four years has been 81.4%, +72.99%, +4.76% and 126.34%; it's expected to grow another 85.37% to $809 million in 2026. The company is also maintaining 62%-65% gross margins, the highest among their competitors. Turning to the technicals, the weekly chart shows a pending breakout above all-time highs at $86.49 that should set up a possible test of the first Fibonacci extension (compared to the 2025 decline) at $116.35. With 89 cents earnings per share (non-GAAP) expected in 2026 for a crazy rich forward valuation of 130 times, this company can't afford any stumbles. But the volume in the past three weeks indicates institutions are accumulating and creating support above the $60 area. Moving to the daily chart, there is a near-term breakout at around $83 that sets up a test of those all-time highs around $86.70. Using some of the advanced technical modeling we do, the immediate upside target is $101.61 to book some profits. But I do want to keep a chunk for the move up to that weekly $116.35 target. Near-term risk/stop loss for us will be a move back below $70.00 where I will start to reduce position sizing and manage risk . In our Active Opps portfolio, we hold a 5% allocation in CRDO. -Todd Gordon, founder of Inside Edge Capital, LLC We offer active portfolio management and regular subscriber updates like the idea presented above.

Why Credo Technology Stock Was Marching Higher This Week

An analyst raised his price target on the highly specialized tech company. He maintained his buy recommendation as he did so. 10 stocks we like better than Credo Technology Group › Data center connectivity solutions company Credo Technology (NASDAQ: CRDO) won attention from many stock market participants this week, thanks in no small part to an analyst flagging it as a top pick in the small and mid-cap categories. With this pleasant tailwind at its back, Credo's share price was a robust 16%-plus higher as of late Thursday night, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The pundit behind the price target boost was TD Cowen's Joshua Buchalter, who on Wednesday upped his fair value assessment on Credo stock to $95 per share; previously he had tagged it as potentially being worth $85. In making the change he left his buy rating intact. Not only that; according to reports, Buchalter and TD Cowen now consider Credo his company's best small- or mid-cap idea for 2025. That's meaningful, given the many stocks in those two categories. In his Credo update, the analyst was particularly enthusiastic about the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) demand on Credo's business. Many companies are racing to enhance their products and services with AI functionalities, and data centers must upgrade to handle the huge resource needs of the technology. It hasn't escaped Buchalter's notice that Credo is also a high-growth and high-margin company, and it's entirely possible that management will be able to maintain (or even exceed) the torrid growth it has shown of late. This company's stock is a fine buy on the continued rise of AI, and the prognosticator's optimism is justified.

Colts franchise remains a family business

The Colts' new owners are committed to keeping the franchise a family business. Why it matters: Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson say they've been preparing for this moment and share the dedication for the team carried by their late father Jim Irsay. What they're saying:"To say that we love our dad and miss him terribly would be an understatement," Irsay-Gordon said at a recent press conference, the first public remarks made after her father's death. "We are so proud to continue our dad's legacy, beginning with carrying out his foremost wish, to keep the Colts in our family. "We want our fans to know that we've spent decades in our family business learning every aspect of our organization under our dad's leadership. It was sometimes trial by fire, and I'm forever grateful for the invaluable experience that I've gained. It has prepared me and my sisters for moments like today." The big picture: The ownership transition has made the Colts one of 12 NFL teams with women owners, fitting for a franchise in a city that wants to become the mecca of women in sports over the next 25 years. Zoom in: As they prepare to shape the team's future, let's look at how they've served the organization: Carlie Irsay-Gordon: Now co-owner and CEO. Joined the Colts in 2008 while pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology at Skidmore College. Created and runs the Tony Dungy Diversity Coaching Fellowship and Harriet P. Irsay Fellowship for Women in Football programs. Is on the NFL's Media Owned & Operated Committee, the 32 Equity Committee, the Security & Fan Conduct Committee and the board of the NFL Player Care Foundation. Fun fact: She wears a headset on the sidelines during games to better understand each play call and support coaches. Casey Foyt: Now co-owner and executive VP. Joined the Colts in 2007 with a focus on marketing and community relations. After graduating from Indiana University with a sports marketing degree, worked for the NFL in London. Helped plan the first regular season NFL game played outside of the U.S. Helped revitalize the Indianapolis Colts Women's Organization and planned the organization's first major fundraiser. Kalen Jackson: Now co-owner, chief brand officer and Indianapolis Colts Foundation president. Joined the Colts in 2010 and led the Irsay family's community and philanthropic efforts after graduating from IU with a degree in sports management and marketing. Heads the team's Kicking The Stigma initiative, an effort launched by the Irsay family in 2020 to improve mental health awareness, research and treatment in Indiana and beyond. What's next: Colts nation will honor Jim Irsay's memory when he is inducted as the 20th member into the Colts Ring of Honor during the season opener against the Dolphins.

The big rally in this chip stock seems to have some legs, according to the charts

AMD is having a strong week so far, which started with Monday's nearly 9% gain. While chasing a stock after such a sharp move isn't typically advisable for short-term traders, the technical set-up looks compelling from several angles. To start, the rally triggered a clear breakout through this inverse head-and-shoulders pattern — best seen on the weekly chart. We've annotated a potential measured move target that would take the stock up to $168, which aligns closely with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire 2024–2025 decline at $170. The confluence of these levels increases the likelihood of that target being reached, especially since it also marks a common retracement point in trending stocks. The second weekly chart highlights the key weekly moving averages we track — the 13-week, 26-week, and 40-week lines. AMD's sharp up-move this week has pushed the stock above all three, which could open the door to additional gains. We saw a very similar setup in early 2023. Back then, AMD had already bounced meaningfully off its October 2022 low, and the breakout above these same moving averages marked the beginning of the powerful rally's next phase. Supporting that move was the 14-week RSI, which at the time crossed back above the midpoint of the scale — just as it has now. That signal preceded a continued advance, eventually driving RSI into overbought territory as momentum continued to build. From a broader perspective, AMD has already gained approximately 70% off its April lows, which clearly is a powerful rally in a short time. Indeed, the the stock is short-term extended, and we shouldn't expect the same pace to persist. However, context matters: the advance follows a nearly 70% decline from AMD's early 2024 highs. Zooming out further, it's clear that AMD has a history of enduring deep, multi-month corrections — four such periods since 2014. In each case, the stock not only bounced but did so with strength far surpassing the prior decline. Rallies ranged from +290% to +930%, showing that recoveries in AMD have been far more powerful than the drawdowns that preceded them. While it's hard to project a move of that magnitude now, history does support the case for a return to previous highs over time once again. Lastly, here's a relative strength chart comparing AMD to the SMH semiconductor ETF that shows another encouraging trend. AMD has been outperforming its group over the past few months, reversing from an extremely oversold relative position earlier this year. Historically, similar inflection points — where AMD turned up after weak relative performance — have led to multi-month stretches of outperformance versus SMH. Taken together, the technical case for AMD remains constructive. The stock is breaking out of a meaningful pattern, reclaiming key moving averages, showing renewed relative strength, and bouncing back in a way that we've seen before. While some short-term digestion wouldn't be surprising, the setup suggests the broader move higher may still have legs.
