What the Analysts think about Ouster
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Ouster stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Ouster stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter revenue rose 56% year on year to $54.6 million, with record shipments of more than 17,000 sensors and product growth led by industrial and smart-infrastructure customers. This gives Ouster a strong recent growth trend across its core markets. (Ouster)
Utah’s transport agency awarded an expansion covering 160 more intersections, taking its contracted Ouster BlueCity footprint in the state to nearly 300 sites. That points to a growing, repeatable role for Ouster in smart-infrastructure projects. (Ouster)
Ouster lidar has been used in Forterra autonomous ground vehicles that completed 1,426 missions and 88 casualty evacuations in Ukraine, and Forterra plans to adopt Rev8 in next-generation vehicles. This is practical evidence of use in demanding autonomous applications beyond traffic infrastructure. (Ouster)
Ouster remained loss-making, with an $18 million GAAP net loss in Q2, and raised $191 million through a July share offering, taking shares outstanding to 72 million. The funding strengthens its balance sheet but dilutes existing shareholders. (The Motley Fool)
The reported 49% Q2 GAAP gross margin included a one-off cost-of-goods refund worth about 10 percentage points, which management said would not recur. That makes the headline margin a poor guide to sustainable profitability. (The Motley Fool)
Ouster says intense lidar competition is pushing average selling prices down and expects that pressure to continue without further product innovation. Lower prices could make it harder to scale margins even as sensor volumes grow. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
