Major stock indices hit record highs in June 2026, driven by strong corporate earnings and optimism over AI and tech investments. However, Credo Technology shares plunged 12% despite the company reporting a fourth-quarter beat on both the top and bottom lines. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.16 per share on revenue of $437 million, beating the earnings of $1.03 and $432 million in revenue that analysts were expecting.
Meanwhile, shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise surged more than 19% after the technology company issued a rosy outlook for the current quarter.
Officials said the market optimism remains despite geopolitical tensions, with over 5.5 million people signing up for accounts, according to Barclays.
Credo Technology Earnings Disappoint
Credo Technology shares dropped 12% despite strong earnings, as the company reported a fourth-quarter beat on both the top and bottom lines. Catherine Brock, contributor to Investor Hub, said: 'The company is known for its strong pipeline and savvy patent strategy, but the market is clearly looking for more.'
The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.16 per share on revenue of $437 million, beating the earnings of $1.03 and $432 million in revenue that analysts were expecting.
Sources confirmed that Credo also shared current-quarter revenue guidance that beat the consensus forecast, but the stock still plunged 12%.
Oil Prices Rise Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Oil prices rose to start the trading week, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures gaining 5.93% on Monday to settle at $92.54 a barrel, while Brent crude added 4.24% to settle at $94.98.
Witnesses said the rise in oil prices is due to Iranian state media reporting that the country's negotiators are stopping communication with the US and that Tehran will completely shut the Strait of Hormuz because of Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
Experts said the move follows the US benchmark posting its steepest monthly decline since April 2025, tumbling nearly 17% in May.
SpaceX IPO Amplifies Enthusiasm for Tech Investments
The anticipated SpaceX IPO has amplified enthusiasm for tech investments, with investors closely watching how markets value companies tied to transformative technologies and future growth opportunities.
Government sources said the environment resembles prior periods of technological excitement, where optimism about future innovation drove valuations well ahead of current fundamentals.
