Description: AMBA Ambarella November 09, 2025
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) designs and sells 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 central domain controllers, CVflow SoCs, AI neural processors, vision-processor SoCs, HD radars, and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) IP, plus licensed software modules that enable end-to-end video and perception pipelines on a single chip.
The company’s chips are deployed across several high-growth verticals: automotive (dash-cams, electronic mirrors, front-facing ADAS cameras, cabin-monitoring and driver-monitoring systems), autonomous-vehicle domain controllers, IoT security cameras, and a broad set of robotics and industrial imaging applications such as authentication cameras and sensing modules. Ambarella also serves consumer-facing markets-including wearable body cameras, action cameras, drones, video-conferencing units, and VR headsets-by delivering high-quality video at reduced power consumption.
In its most recent quarter (Q2 2024), Ambarella reported revenue of roughly $340 million, up 18 % year-over-year, with a gross margin near 57 % and an operating cash flow of $85 million, reflecting strong demand for AI-enabled edge vision. The firm’s R&D spend remains around 15 % of revenue, underscoring its focus on maintaining a technology lead in a sector where AI-edge compute and automotive ADAS volumes are projected to grow at double-digit CAGR rates. Competitive pressure from larger players such as Nvidia and Texas Instruments, as well as macro-level semiconductor supply-chain dynamics, constitute material risk factors that investors should monitor.
