Ouster (OUST) Stock

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ouster, Inc. (NYSE: OUST) today announced that it will transfer the listing of its common stock and its warrants to purchase common stock trading under the symbol “OUST.WSA” (the “2025 Public Warrants”) to the Nasdaq Global Select Market from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and NYSE American, respectively, and its warrants to purchase its common stock trading under the symbol “OUST.WS” (the “2026 Public Warrants”) to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the NYSE.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?

The consensus price target hints at a 27.9% upside potential for Ouster (OUST). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.

Ouster, Inc. is rapidly advancing in the Lidar sector by focusing on non-automotive industries, reporting record sales and significant production orders in robotics. The company is seeing substantial revenue growth, with Q4 sales projected to hit $29-$31 million, despite the stock market not recognizing this progress. Ouster only trades at 3x forward sales targets despite the major growth opportunities.

Ouster (OUST) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The average of price targets set by Wall Street analysts indicates a potential upside of 35% in Ouster (OUST). While the effectiveness of this highly sought-after metric is questionable, the positive trend in earnings estimate revisions might translate into an upside in the stock.

Ouster set a new revenue record in Q3, achieving a 38% gross margin and clearing its debt, with a projected 35% growth for 2024. Ouster's strength lies in its diversified revenue streams, including software sales, and its leadership in the non-ADAS LiDAR market. The company has a pristine balance sheet, with $154M in cash, and is the only Western LiDAR company with significant sensor sales volume.
