Ouster

Positioning

Ouster is a US lidar maker (Q2-26 revenue of $54.6M, +56% YoY, trending toward ~$220M annualized) that shipped 17,000+ sensors in Q2-26 alone, with capacity past 100,000 units a year. It launched Rev8 native-color lidar (a major product cycle), closed the Stereolabs camera acquisition ($35M, February 2026), and won a multi-million Econolite/UDOT traffic contract, positioning as a Physical AI sensing platform, though it remains net-loss ($18M in Q2). Its perception expansion via Stereolabs broadens beyond lidar.
