Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.

Factors at Play

Business disruptions in China and non-China regions amid the coronavirus-induced global lockdown are expected to have hurt fiscal second-quarter performance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the company had witnessed some order push as well as cancellations due to the coronavirus-led business disruptions.

Moreover, softness in the automotive camera market is likely to have negatively impacted Ambarella’s overall revenue performance in the quarter.

Nonetheless, Ambarella’s quarterly results are expected to reflect strong design wins and customer engagement with its AI-enabled video-processing chips in the consumer security camera. The company is gaining from solid momentum in CV2, CV22 and CV25. Notably, in fiscal 2020, these products generated production revenues from 1,000 customers.
