The company is now supporting a fifth hyperscaler, marking continued customer diversification.
Product Roadmap Acceleration: What CRDO Is Building Next
CRDO is expanding its product portfolio across copper, optical, and silicon-level connectivity. The company outlined three major product pillars driving future growth:
- Zero-Flat Optics (ZF Optics): Production ramp pulled forward to Q1 FY2027 due to strong customer demand. Already shipping to TensorWave and in qualification with three other hyperscalers.
- Active LED Cables (ALC): Targets mid-reach optical connectivity up to 30 meters. Sampling and qualification expected in FY2027, with ramp in FY2028.
- OmniConnect Gearboxes: Designed for AI XPU-to-memory interconnects. First production ramp targeted for FY2028, enabling 10x memory density improvements.
These products are expected to open up multibillion-dollar TAM expansions beyond CRDO’s current AEC and IC portfolios.

- Revenue: $425M–$435M
- Non-GAAP Gross Margin: 64%–66%

Investor Takeaways
CRDO’s Q3 2026 results reflect a company at the peak of a multi-year growth cycle, driven by AI infrastructure demands across hyperscalers. With new product launches, expanding customer base, and a robust balance sheet, the company is positioned to maintain momentum. However, investors should monitor margin trends and product mix shifts as CRDO scales into new optical and gearbox categories.
