Top Valuations In LiDAR: Ouster Vs. Aeva

  • Ouster remains my top pick in LiDAR, with strong financials, broad customer base, and a clear path to profitability by 2027. Aeva's valuation is overextended, trading at 30x 2026 revenue despite lower sales, higher cash burn, and later profitability than Ouster. Sylebra's backing is the main driver of Aeva's stock rally, but fundamentals need to catch up to the valuation with a $1.38B market cap.
