Ouster (OUST) is evolving from a lidar supplier into a vertically integrated Physical AI platform, now rated Buy. The company's acquisition of Stereolabs and qualification for NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion position it as the only large-scale US-aligned perception stack provider. The US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 164 excludes Chinese competitor Hesai from federal procurement, effectively creating a monopoly for Ouster in the US market. Trading at about 9 times estimated 2026 revenue, Ouster has shown 13 consecutive quarters of growth and is expected to continue accelerating bookings and re-rating.
