SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, today announced that IEEE has honored Ambarella's co-founder, President and CEO, Dr. Fermi Wang, with the inaugural 2026 IEEE Arun N. Netravali Video Analytics, Technology and Systems Award, alongside his Ph.D. advisor, Professor Dimitris Anastassiou of Columbia Engineering.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, today announced it will hold its first quarter fiscal year 2027 earnings conference call on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Time). The company will issue its earnings release after the market closes that same day.

I am reiterating Ambarella as a Strong Buy, driven by its transformation into a full-stack edge AI platform company, not just a chip vendor. AMBA's edge AI SoCs now account for 80% of total revenue, with fiscal 2026 revenue reaching $390.7M, up 37.2% year-over-year. The market still values AMBA as a cyclical semiconductor stock, but I see it as an edge AI infrastructure enabler for physical AI and robotics.

Ambarella, Inc. is positioned for growth in edge AI, targeting industrial automation, robotics, and automotive markets with new hardware and software platforms. I recommend AMBA shares with a Buy rating and $84.28 price target (6.60x eFY28 price/sales), citing valuation remediation and robust top-line growth prospects. AMBA's next-gen CV7 chip and Cooper Developer Platform enable cloudless robotics orchestration, providing a complete ecosystem for AI-enabled machine vision.

CFO John Alexander Young sold 7,615 ordinary shares over two days (March 17 and March 19, 2026) for a transaction value of approximately $406,000, with an average sale price of around $53.32 per share. This transaction represented 6.0% of Young's direct holdings at the time, reducing his direct ownership to 119,594 shares post-sale.

Ambarella, Inc. reported Q4 revenue of $101M (+20% y/y), with IoT segment up 50%, but shares fell 19% post-earnings. I maintain a Hold rating on AMBA, citing stretched valuation (forward PE ~72x) and investor concerns over margin deterioration despite strong IoT growth. Profitability remains the key focus; margin recovery hinges on successful execution of advanced 5nm/4nm chip transition and AI-driven products.
