The company has found an appropriate partner to help it win more AI-related business. It's teaming up with a specialty chipmaker based in Asia. 10 stocks we like better than Astera Labs › According to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) stock's price was floating almost 11% higher week to date on early Friday morning. Investors were mainly reacting to news the tech infrastructure company reported about a new business tie-up with an Asian peer. On Monday, Astera and Taiwanese chipmaker AIChip Technologies announced in a joint press release that they have formed a strategic business partnership. Together, the two will aim to exploit opportunities afforded by sky-high demand for artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities. AIChip, which specializes in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips, and Astera are teaming up to offer "validated, interoperable solutions for hyperscalers building next-generation AI infrastructure," according to the press release. As the name suggests, a hyperscaler is essentially an extremely large data center. These are in vogue now due to the heavy resource requirements of AI. Astera and AIChip offered almost no details about their new partnership, including its financial parameters. Given that, it's tough to gauge how this collaboration might affect their fundamentals. Judging by the market's reaction, though, investors don't seem to mind -- teaming up on projects has clear potential to benefit both companies. I think AI companies like Astera are in the midst of a gold rush. I'd absolutely consider buying the stock.

Astera Labs (NasdaqGS:ALAB) Sees Q1 Revenue Jump To US$159M With Positive Earnings Guidance
Astera Labs experienced a significant price move of approximately 35% over the last month. The company recently announced robust Q1 2025 earnings, with sales rising to $159 million from the previous year's $65 million, and a notable transition from a net loss to a net income of $32 million. Additionally, Astera provided a positive revenue outlook for the next quarter. These developments may have contributed to the stock's rise. Despite mixed stock performance in tech-heavy indexes, Astera Labs' advancements in PCIe 6 technology bolstered investor confidence, contrasting with broader market trends. Be aware that Astera Labs is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis. NasdaqGS:ALAB Earnings Per Share Growth as at May 2025 The end of cancer? These 23 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The recent 35% rise in Astera Labs' share price reflects investor optimism following its strong Q1 2025 earnings and positive revenue outlook. The company's commitment to advancing PCIe 6 technology and AI infrastructure solutions appears to be a driving force behind this investor confidence. However, over the last year, the stock's total shareholder return was negative, showing a 6.34% decline, indicating challenges in maintaining long-term growth or market sentiment stability. When comparing its performance to the US market and semiconductor industry over the past year, Astera Labs underperformed both, with the broader US market gaining approximately 7.2% and the semiconductor industry seeing an 8.8% increase. The recent developments may prompt a re-evaluation of revenue and earnings forecasts for the company, especially given its expansion plans in AI and CXL technology. Analysts forecast revenue growth of 44.3% annually over the next three years, with profits expected to rise; however, these projections also face uncertainties, including customer concentration risks and evolving technology standards. Despite the recent price movement, Astera Labs' current share price of US$65.65 remains 40.9% below the consensus analyst price target of US$111.16, suggesting potential room for upward movement if the company aligns with these growth expectations. Investors should compare these forecasts against their own assessments to gauge the validity of the price target.

At the same time, adjusted earnings per share are expected to come in between $0.32 and $0.33 -- roughly in line with last quarter. With the company's gross margin projected to hold steady, the company's earnings guidance suggests a significant uptick in operating expenses.
