re: Info on OUST - Lidar tech for Physical AI and Smart Cities

quote:

I like how OUST bundles the LiDAR with the AI there so they selling the whole system to DOT. Capital revenue plus operational revenue. The addressable market is likely way less than the 300k intersections but could see this covering a lot of city intersections

---

20% market penetration of 300,000 intersections translates to 180 million in ARR alone, excluding upfront revenues of 675m.
(This is roughly 1% of the global TAM by the way)

And here's the deal.
OUST is trading at less than 10x sales for ARR that would come from 20% traffic infrastructure.

Nothing is priced in yet, CEO stated that he wants 100% of this US intersection market, and they've begun grabbing it.
The best part - No one stands in their way.
We're not going to allow China to control our traffic (HSAI) and MVIS, AEVA, and others are largely focused on autonomous driving.

Imo, OUST has been exceedingly smart in their acquisitions and market selection, which is probably why they have a lot of cash and no debt.



Note - This total addressable market data is about 5 years old**

Love the direction of this gem.

WLAC... whats the long term on that one?

---

A lot higher than current market cap if they can execute to 500MW or 1 GW of power.
It's way too early to tell, but it seems like the company is responsibly managed.

Used my remaining powder to add to OUST this morning. No more powder till next Monday.

Truly oustanding option pricing for sellers.

You're getting about 12.5% on January $60s.

Ok, I'll collect 12.5% now to sell at more than a double in 8.5 months...

(I'll wait until stock is closer to $29 to sell the CCs).

I was looking at the $30 1/27 calls. May dip my toe in a little.

I own a few of those plus a $45 2028.

I bought some 1/27 $30 calls for $7.30ish.

I'll look at them again in a couple of months...

BB, if you were looking into buying some calls between OUST, MRLN, and WLAC, can you give me a breakdown of what you think may give the best ROI? Intermediate dated 3-9 months out?

I understand I’m asking for financial advice. And I know that involves risk. Mostly just wanna know what your thoughts are on the three through 2026.

Given that WLAC is still a spac, I couldn’t advise close dated options.

Given that the MRLN lock up period will be here soon, I’d probably steer clear.

However, I picked up MRLN again at 10.56 yesterday and today (Shares).
I like it. I feel good about owning the company. Not options (yet).

Out of all three, I like OUST $30 Jan 2027s as I own 5.

Sold WLAC contracts today to buy OUST…

Watch out for earnings next week, but damn the chart looks primed!
