Astera Labs sees first-quarter revenue in the range of $151 million to $155 million.

The analyst forecasts strong growth for Astera Labs’ revenue, forecasting a 65% increase in calendar year 2025, driven by new products, AI platform diversification, and increasing content in customer racks using merchant GPUs and CSP-built racks with internal ASICs.

Per Richard, the market for high-speed connections will grow faster than AI accelerator shipments, with Astera Labs scaling new AI platforms using its own accelerators alongside third-party GPU-based platforms.

The analyst points out that the company’s growth is driven by three key factors: the increased dollar content in next-generation AI accelerator racks with Astera Labs’ products, the ramp-up of custom AI racks using merchant GPUs, and the growth of general computing in data centers through the CLX controller and PCIe 6 products.

Additionally, the company’s serviceable addressable market is estimated to reach $12 billion by 2028.

Price Action: ALAB shares are trading lower by 9.23% to $93.76 at last check Tuesday.
