Chip Stock Investor Podcast

LiDAR stocks have been heating up as the promise of "physical AI," Robotaxis, humanoid robotics, and the like are getting fresh attention. Chip Stock Investor discuss Ouster (OUST), a bit about how LiDAR works, Ouster's history via merger with Velodyne, and current cash burn issues. They discuss the price-to-sales ratio, and quick valuation trick using P/S by pretending what OUST's valuation would be today if running at a 20% free cash flow profit (20% margin being a general goal a business like this should target). All of this assumes Ouster can deliver on its financial goals, so Nick and Kasey discuss whether LiDAR belongs in their small bets basket of stocks.Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider: https://chipstockinvestor.com/semi-insider-sign-up/Sign Up For Our Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/b1228c12f284/sign-up-landing-page-short-formSupercharge your analysis with AI!
