Ouster, identified by the symbol OUST-N, operates in the niche market of lidar technology, crucial for robotics and autonomous systems. The company aims to establish itself as a leading provider of sensor technology, facilitating the use of its products in various applications, including drone technology for the U.S. Department of Defense. Although it has an ambitious growth trajectory, forecasting a 30% year-over-year increase for the next four to five years, concerns about its cash flow and market valuation persist. While some experts view it as a speculative investment within the robotics sector, especially given the growing demand for local sensor solutions, others remain skeptical, particularly regarding the high valuation relative to competitors. The general sentiment appears to balance between optimistic growth potential and caution against its speculative nature.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 05/26, Up 111%)

They make LIDR sensors, which will help robots see. They've rolled out new products and bough some companies as well. They are positioning themselves in robotics vision. Their competition comes from China, and the US is limiting that access for Chinese products. However, a shift in the macro can take this down 20% or more. Is a volatile growth stock. They grow 30% yearly.

TOP PICK

Very few solid businesses in pure-play robotics, and this is one. Positioned to be the "eyes" of robots via sensors. Higher risk. Company expects growth profile of 30% YOY for next 4-5 years. Cashflow negative right now, but lots of cash on balance sheet. 

Has customers, including USA's DOD approval for drone applications. Push to restrict foreign sensors coming into NA. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $39.60)
RISKY

Is very expensive, and he avoids LIDAR plays. Is fine as a spec, though.

DON'T BUY
.

It's a lidar company, and the only self-driving car company worth investing in is Tesla. Too speculative.

PARTIAL SELL

It's part of this big small-cap rally now and has gotten ahead of itself.
