What Are Ouster's Near-Term Revenue Expectations?

Ouster (OUST) is a small-cap player in LIDAR, aiming for a role in AI infrastructure and Physical AI. After a pullback following its Q3 2025 earnings, we dive into the financials to see if this "prove it" stock is a buy the dip candidate.<br>

We analyze the company's supply chain, key customers like Serve Robotics, and break down Ouster's progress toward its long-term financial goals for revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses. While Q3 showed strong revenue acceleration, a look at free cash flow and the dilutive effect of the ATM program highlights the trade-offs of investing in a high-growth small-cap business.

<br>We also revisit a special valuation method we use for companies that aren't yet profitable to determine what Ouster would be trading at if it hit a 20% free cash flow margin. Tune in for our full analysis of Ouster's stock performance and outlook.
