Astera Labs closed fiscal 2025 with Q4 revenue of $270.6 million, up 92% year over year, capping a full year of $852.5 million, up 115%. Growth was broad-based across signal conditioning, smart cable modules and switch fabrics, with Scorpio P-Series exceeding 15% of full-year revenue and Taurus revenue growing more than four times year over year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 75.7% and non-GAAP operating margin was 40.2%, and the company disclosed a $6.5 billion Amazon warrant agreement tied to future purchases of switches, signal conditioning and optical engines, alongside a plan to expand its served addressable market more than tenfold to $25 billion over five years. Management guided Q1 2026 revenue to $286-$297 million but stepped up operating-expense investment sharply, with Q1 OPEX guided to $112-$118 million to fund a new Israel design center, optical development and custom NVLink Fusion connectivity. GAAP EPS grew 78.6% against a prior-year base inflated by a one-time tax benefit and near-zero operating income, so the underlying operating trajectory and non-GAAP margins are the clearer read. The company also announced a CFO transition, with Desmond Lynch succeeding Mike Tate in March 2026.
