Description: ALAB Astera Labs, Common Stock December 03, 2025
Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) is a U.S.–based semiconductor firm founded in 2017 that develops and sells connectivity solutions aimed at cloud-computing and artificial-intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The company’s core offering is an “intelligent connectivity platform” that combines mixed-signal chips (including microcontrollers and sensors) with its COSMOS software suite, which provides link-level, fleet-wide, and reliability-aware (RAS) management for large-scale data-center deployments.
Product lines include PCIe/CXL smart retimers, Ethernet smart cable modules, CXL memory controllers, and smart fabric switches-components that enable high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators in hyperscaler and OEM systems.
Industry data (as of Q3 2024) shows the data-center connectivity market expanding at ~12% CAGR, driven by rising AI workloads and the adoption of CXL as a standard for memory pooling; Astera Labs reported a year-over-year revenue increase of ~68% in its most recent filing, and its gross margin has stabilized around 55%, reflecting scaling of its high-value retimer products.
