Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd announced a licensing agreement with The Siemon Company that grants Siemon access to Credo’s proprietary active electrical cable (AEC) patents. The deal allows Siemon to incorporate Credo’s high‑performance connectivity technology into its own cable assemblies, while Credo will receive licensing fees and a share of future revenue generated from the technology.
The transaction underscores Credo’s strategy of monetizing its intellectual property. By licensing its AEC patents, Credo validates the commercial value of its technology and creates a new, recurring revenue stream that complements its product sales. The partnership also signals that Siemon sees Credo’s patents as essential for meeting the growing demand for high‑speed, high‑bandwidth connectivity in data centers and smart‑building applications.
The AEC market is expanding rapidly, driven by the proliferation of artificial‑intelligence workloads and the need for higher bandwidth in cloud and enterprise environments. Estimates place the total addressable market between $5 billion and $10 billion, and the licensing agreement positions Credo to capture a share of that growth through Siemon’s established distribution network.
Credo’s recent quarterly results illustrate the company’s strong growth trajectory. In Q1 FY2026, Credo reported revenue of $223 million, a 274% year‑over‑year increase, and non‑GAAP gross margins of 67.6%. Net income approached $100 million, but earnings per share missed estimates by $0.34, reflecting higher operating expenses and a one‑time charge that offset the revenue surge. The licensing deal is expected to add a stable, recurring income stream that will help offset such one‑off costs and support future margin expansion.
The agreement aligns with Credo’s broader focus on high‑performance connectivity solutions and positions the company to benefit from the continued acceleration of AI and data‑center traffic. By partnering with a leading cable manufacturer, Credo can accelerate market penetration of its patented technology while securing a predictable revenue source that strengthens its financial resilience and supports ongoing investment in research and development.
