Astera Labs Inc

Astera Labs’ PCIe 6.0 interconnects give AI data‑centers lightning‑fast bandwidth and low latency—an edge that could capture a growing 22 % CAGR in AI infrastructure spend.

Mid‑cap silicon photonics firms like Astera are quietly powering the AI boom by delivering low‑latency, high‑bandwidth interconnects that meet data‑center and edge demands.

Astera Labs’ earnings miss sent shares down 12%, yet analysts see upside amid AI‑infrastructure growth and strong interconnect demand—investors should weigh short‑term dips against long‑term tech resilience.

Astera Labs’ 100 Gbps interconnects could power AWS Trainium 4’s edge‑to‑cloud fabric—yet stock swings, margin pressure and export rules leave investors cautious about whether the company can translate tech fit into revenue growth.
