Astera Labs posted record financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, reporting revenue of $191.9 million, up 20% sequentially and 150% year-over-year. GAAP net income reached $51.2 million with an operating margin of 20.7%, while non-GAAP results showed a stronger operating margin of 39.2% and diluted EPS of $0.44. The company also generated $135.4 million in operating cash flow, its highest to date.
The quarter marked the volume ramp of Astera’s PCIe 6 connectivity portfolio, which is being integrated into customized rack-scale AI systems. The company reported multiple new design wins for its Scorpio Fabric Switches and growing demand for its signal conditioning products supporting PCIe scale-up and Ethernet scale-out in custom ASIC platforms. Astera also expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA to advance NVLink Fusion connectivity and hosted a public webinar to showcase Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink), an open, memory-semantic fabric for AI workloads.
Looking ahead, Astera guided third quarter revenue in the range of $203 million to $210 million with a GAAP gross margin of approximately 75%. The company also announced a new partnership with Alchip Technologies to integrate custom ASIC compute with Astera’s connectivity portfolio, aiming to strengthen rack-scale AI infrastructure solutions for hyperscalers.
