Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ:CRDO) stock jumped nearly 9% in Wednesday’s premarket trading as semiconductor and artificial intelligence infrastructure stocks rebounded.
Nasdaq futures rose 1.60%, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.70%, signaling improved investor sentiment.
Credo shares have fallen more than 35% over the past month amid concerns about data center spending and broader market uncertainty.
