On July 16, Credo Technology fell 5.35% in regular trading, trading at $218.59/share, with turnover of $214 million. The decline was triggered by a combination of large-scale insider selling disclosures and a broad optical communications sector pullback.
On the news front, director and executive YatTung Lam filed Form 144 through ZHAN (BVI) CO LTD. and a personal account, planning to sell 200,000 shares and 261,439 shares of common stock respectively, with a combined planned reduction valued at approximately $109 million. Additionally, on July 8, another director-related account, CHENG HUANG FAMILY TRUST, disclosed plans to sell 275,000 shares valued at approximately $73 million. The concentrated insider selling within a short period weighed heavily on market sentiment.
Meanwhile, U.S. optical communications stocks suffered a broad selloff on the same day, with Corning falling over 7%, POET Technologies down over 5%, and Coherent and Astera Labs declining over 4%, amplifying downward pressure on individual names including Credo.
