Description: AMBA Ambarella January 12, 2026
Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA) designs low-power system-on-chip (SoC) solutions that combine high-definition video compression, advanced image signal processing, and on-chip AI inference. Its product portfolio includes CVflow vision processors, AI neural processors, HD radar transceivers, and serializer/deserializer IP, which are sold to OEMs and ODMs for automotive ADAS/driver-monitoring cameras, autonomous-vehicle central domain controllers, security-camera IoT devices, and a range of consumer imaging products such as drones, action cams, and VR headsets.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023): revenue $1.21 billion, up ~12 % YoY; gross margin 55 %; R&D expense ~15 % of revenue, reflecting continued investment in AI-edge architectures. The automotive ADAS segment now accounts for roughly 45 % of total sales, driven by regulatory mandates for driver-monitoring systems in Europe and China. Industry-wide, AI-at-the-edge and high-resolution video traffic are expanding at a 15 % CAGR, supporting Ambarella’s growth outlook, while supply-chain constraints on advanced packaging remain a material risk.
