Amid growing investment in federally funded smart infrastructure, Ouster shares received an upgrade to bullish according to an analysis published on Seeking Alpha. Analysts attributed the upgrade to the company's compliance with BABA (Build America, Buy America) standards, which removes a key procurement barrier for federally backed projects, and the launch of the Rev8 platform, which strengthens competitive positioning with native color lidar technology and longer range. Smart infrastructure has become Ouster's largest revenue vertical, supported by BlueCity growth and over 700 contracted deployments.

Sign InThese developments come as the lidar sector seeks to expand beyond autonomous vehicle applications into smart city and infrastructure projects. BABA compliance is a strategic move that opens access to large US government contracts, giving Ouster an edge over non-compliant competitors. The new Rev8 platform enhances its position by offering scalable, cost-effective lidar solutions, which could accelerate adoption in institutional markets.
At the June 30 close, OUST shares traded at $62.52, near their period high of $63.79. No near-term economic events specifically target the stock, but investors are watching the rollout of smart infrastructure contracts and the next quarterly results to confirm growth momentum in this vertical.
