Astera Labs Earnings Beat, But Shares Drop on Revenue Concerns
11 Feb
Summary
- Fourth-quarter earnings exceeded expectations, yet stock declined.
- Revenue increased 92% year-over-year, with net income up 82%.
- New R&D center in Israel to access talent pool and address resource bottlenecks.

Astera Labs has reported robust fourth-quarter financial performance, exceeding analyst expectations for both earnings and net income. The company's revenue surged by 92% compared to the previous year, demonstrating significant growth in the AI infrastructure sector.
This impressive revenue jump was partly driven by the strong contributions of its Scorpio fabric switch and Taurus ethernet cables, which together accounted for 30% of the quarter's total revenue. Astera Labs CEO Jitendra Mohan emphasized the critical role of connectivity in the rapidly expanding AI landscape.
Looking ahead, Astera Labs projects first-quarter revenue between $286 million and $297 million, surpassing earlier Wall Street forecasts. The company also announced a strategic move to establish a new research and development center in Israel, aiming to leverage the region's talent pool.
