What this transaction means for investors
It seems S Squared might’ve decided to lock in gains and allocate capital elsewhere after a strong run in AI-related semiconductor names, but Ambarella is still showing real operating momentum underneath the volatility.
In February, the company reported record fiscal 2026 revenue of $390.7 million, up 37% year over year, while fourth-quarter revenue climbed 20% to $100.9 million. Ambarella also swung to a full-year non-GAAP profit of $26.9 million after posting a loss the prior year.
Management has been aggressively positioning the company around edge AI, saying AI-focused chips now make up 80% of revenue. The company also highlighted more than 370 customer AI projects already in production and roughly $1 billion in cumulative edge AI revenue. For long-term investors, the bigger question, however, is whether Ambarella can turn its AI leadership into sustained profitability. The technology story is clearly improving, but at this stage, expectations are rising just as fast as the business itself.
