Description: OUST Ouster, Common Stock January 15, 2026
Ouster, Inc. (NYSE: OUST) designs and manufactures lidar sensors for automotive, industrial, robotics, and smart-infrastructure applications worldwide, offering both high-resolution scanning units (Ouster Sensor) and solid-state flash devices (Digital Flash) alongside software and perception platforms such as the Gemini and BlueCity solutions.
In its most recent fiscal year, Ouster reported revenue of roughly $151 million, a year-over-year increase of about 30 %, while maintaining a gross margin near 30 % and a cash burn rate of $45 million-metrics that signal rapid scaling but also underscore the capital intensity of the lidar market.
The lidar sector is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20 % through 2030, propelled by the expansion of autonomous-vehicle programs, stricter safety regulations for ADAS, and rising municipal investments in smart-city infrastructure-all of which directly expand the addressable market for Ouster’s products.
