Astera Stock Skyrockets 324% in 12 Months—Analysts Now Eye $170 Target (Up from $82)

Astera just pulled off a moonshot—turning every $10k into $42k in a single year. Who needs crypto when legacy tech stocks can pump like this?

The numbers don't lie

That 324% surge isn't some vaporware promise—it's cold, hard trading tape. The same analysts who slapped an $82 target last August are now scrambling to justify $170 price tags.

Wall Street's whiplash

Fund managers who shorted this rally are currently rewriting their resumes. Meanwhile, the 'hold' crowd missed gains equivalent to three Bitcoin bull cycles—in one fiscal year.

Funny how traditional finance always rediscovers FOMO after the fact. Maybe they'll start putting 'to the moon' in research reports next.

Astera Stock Price Target Rises to $170

Astera Labs beat estimates for its Q2 revenue by 11%. According to the report, the company’s GAAP revenue hit $191.9 million. The figure represents a 150% increase year-over-year. Astera Labs also reported a non-GAAP earnings increase of $0.44 per share. Compared to 2024, sales and earnings ROSE by 150% and 238%, respectively. The company’s market cap has soared beyond the $22 billion mark.

The company’s growth could be attributed to an increase in its PCIe 6 product portfolio, customized rack-scale AI systems, and new designs for its Scorpio Fabric Switches. Astera Labs has also seen substantial demand for its signal conditioning products.

Financial institution Raymond James has increased Astera Labs’ price target to $170 from $82. The increase reflects a rise of about 107.32%. The company manufactures chips that aid cloud and AI data centers. With AI taking the global spotlight, firms that work closely with the industry are likely to benefit. Nvidia experienced a massive price surge over the last year thanks to its AI-focused chips.

The company’s Q3 forecast is also expected to beat estimates. Astera Labs anticipates its revenue to hit somewhere between $203 million and $210 million. Its GAAP earnings per share are expected to land in the $0.23 to $0.24 range.

Astera Labs’ AI-focused chips and their fast-growing popularity in cloud infrastructure could lead to the company’s stock becoming one of the hottest in the market.
