Ouster Stock Just Ripped 24% in a Short Week. The $75 Wall Street Call Is Only Part of the Story
Ouster shares finished a holiday-shortened U.S. trading week at $46.05, up 8.79% on Friday and 24.36% over five days, capping one of the sharper moves in small-cap sensor stocks. U.S. markets had been closed on Monday for Memorial Day. That matters because the move was not just another lift from a strong tape. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 each rose about 0.2% on Friday, while small caps fell, leaving Ouster’s jump standing out as investors chased a more specific theme: sensors for robotics, defense and “physical AI,” meaning AI systems that perceive and act in the real world.
