Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Ambarella stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Ambarella, Inc. develops video compression and image processing semiconductors. The Company's products are used in digital still cameras, digital camcorders, and video-enabled mobile phones.

Ambarella, Inc. is headquartered in Santa Clara, California. " (5/2/2017)
• 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "While we've been calling for it for a few years now, it seems Ambarella and GoPro are parting ways. In our view, it is Ambarella that is turning its engineering resources toward other higher-growth markets, particularly where Computer Vision (i.e. Artificial Intelligence) features can be fully utilized. The first year of this separation from GoPro results in guidance for flat revenue y/y (up 25% y/y excluding GoPro-related revenue) and declining earnings. We view management's FY18 guidance as 'kitchen sink' and significantly de-risking the shares. Looking out to FY19, we believe the company can deliver 15% top and bottom line growth driven by IP Security, automotive and drone end markets. We continue to expect the company's new CV devices drive longer term growth and separate the company from competition." (3/1/2017)
• 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "AMBA's F4Q17 results exceeded expectations driven by strength in GoPro, whose revenue increased from 18% of sales in the prior year quarter to 34% in F4Q17. However, the company's outlook for FY18 fell short of expectations due to an inventory overhang at GoPro that will impact sales in F1H18 and GoPro's decision to use an alternative video processor supplier for its HERO 6 camera that will negatively impact demand in F2H18. While the rest of the business, excluding GoPro revenue, is expected to grow 20%-32% Y/Y in FY18, the loss of GoPro is will be a big hit to the top and bottom line in FY18. As such, we reduce our estimates to reflect the lower GoPro revenue and maintain our Hold rating." (3/1/2017)
• 4. Pacific Crest analysts commented, "We are lowering revenue estimates slightly but our EPS is unchanged on better gross margin." (9/2/2016)
