Ambarella Soars After Earnings Beat And Higher Guidance On Edge AI Demand

Rising edge‑AI demand across autos, surveillance, drones, and portable video drives the outlook.

Overview

  • The chip designer posted adjusted earnings of 15 cents per share on roughly $95.5–$96 million in revenue, topping estimates for 5 cents and $90 million.
  • Management guided third-quarter revenue to $100 million to $108 million and lifted full-year revenue growth to 31%–35%, implying about $379 million at the midpoint.
  • Shares jumped about 20% on Friday following the report, as at least eight Wall Street analysts raised price targets, including Susquehanna to $100.
  • CEO Fermi Wang pointed to strength in portable video, robotic aerial drones, and edge infrastructure, noting more than 36 million edge‑AI processors shipped to date.
  • Despite the adjusted profit, GAAP results showed a narrowed net loss of about $20 million, or 47 cents per share, weighed by stock-based compensation and acquisition amortization.
