What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($7.85). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (35/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • A fairly wide model range ($3.52 to $7.85) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Ouster, Inc. Common Stock (OUST) currently trades at $34.62, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.98, implying the stock looks roughly 82.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 35/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Ouster, Inc. Common Stock generated revenue of $185M at a net margin of -30.1%. Revenue grew 48.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -25.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $50.3M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $3.52 (bear case) to $7.85 (bull case); at $34.62, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 30% below its 52-week high and 133% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -63% fair-value upside, at -83%, OUST screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
