The lidar maker posted $35.05 million in sales for Q2 2025, a 29.9% year-over-year jump that edged past the $33.77 million consensus by 3.80%, driven by record sensor shipments of 5,500 units as industrial and automotive customers deepened their commitments to warehouse automation and robotaxi applications.
