Credo Technology (CRDO) Co-Founder Trims $6.6 Million Stake After 139% Share Surge

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) co-founder and chief technology officer Chi Fung Cheng sold 27,500 shares on July 14, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.

The transaction, executed through the Cheng Huang Family Trust, was conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on September 5, 2025.

The trust is managed by Cheng Chi Fung and his spouse as trustees for the benefit of their family, with sales carried out across multiple trades.

Prices for the disposed shares ranged from $235.79 to $250.49, producing a weighted average sale price of $240.21 per share.

The total transaction value came to approximately $6.6 million, a relatively modest figure given the scale of Cheng’s overall equity holdings.

Following the sale, the insider continues to hold roughly 140,000 shares directly and approximately 5.9 million shares indirectly, maintaining a 3% ownership stake in the company.

The 27,500 shares sold represented just a 0.46% reduction in the insider’s total direct and indirect equity holdings, signaling a minimal adjustment rather than a broad exit.

As of the July 15, 2026 market close, CRDO shares were priced at $226.74, giving the company a market capitalization of approximately $42.3 billion.

At the time of the transaction, the stock had delivered a one-year total return of 139%, reflecting a period of significant appreciation for the semiconductor firm.

Credo Technology Group designs and delivers advanced high-speed connectivity solutions, including integrated circuits, active electrical cables, and SerDes chiplets for optical and electrical Ethernet applications across global markets.

The company generates revenue through proprietary semiconductor products enabling high-speed data transmission for enterprise and infrastructure customers spanning the United States, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, and other international markets.

Credo reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $1.3 billion and net income of $472.3 million, translating to a net profit margin of approximately 36.3%.

The company tripled fiscal 2026 revenue past $1.3 billion and grew non-GAAP net income more than fivefold to $662 million, demonstrating strong underlying business momentum.

The stock has experienced notable volatility, having fallen over 30% from an all-time high just weeks prior, a move broadly attributed to wider sentiment shifts across semiconductor names.

For investors monitoring insider activity, this transaction fits the pattern of a founder diversifying after a historic run rather than signaling any fundamental concern about the business.
