Description: OUST Ouster, Common Stock November 12, 2025
Ouster, Inc. (NYSE: OUST) designs and manufactures lidar sensors for automotive, industrial, robotics, and smart-infrastructure applications across all major global regions. Its product lineup includes high-resolution scanning lidar (Ouster Sensor), solid-state flash lidar (Digital Flash), and specialized surround-view platforms such as the Gemini perception suite and the BlueCity traffic-management solution.
From recent filings, Ouster reported FY 2023 revenue of roughly $210 million, a year-over-year increase of about 30 %, while its cash burn remained around $70 million per quarter-a metric investors watch closely given the capital-intensive nature of lidar development. The broader lidar market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of ~20 % through 2030, driven by autonomous-vehicle adoption and expanding smart-city initiatives, which constitute key macro-level tailwinds for Ouster’s addressable market.
Recent strategic moves include a $200 million financing round led by Tiger Global and a partnership with Volvo Cars to integrate Ouster’s solid-state sensors into next-generation driver-assistance systems, suggesting progress toward scaling commercial volume.
