Here’s what investors need to know.
Ouster shares are climbing with conviction. What’s behind OUST gains?
What Is Ouster’s Strategic Agreement With AIM?Ouster signed a strategic agreement with AIM Intelligent Machines to supply digital lidar sensors for AI-powered autonomous heavy earthmoving equipment used in mining, construction and defense, expanding a multi-year partnership and locking in high-volume supply as AIM scales deployments. AIM also plans to integrate Ouster’s Rev8 native color digital lidar to improve 3D perception, object classification and edge computing in complex industrial environments.AIM’s autonomy kit is positioned as a fast retrofit, with installs targeted in less than 24 hours without voiding OEM warranties, and designed to run without cellular networks, cloud infrastructure or GPS. That "offline-capable" angle matters for defense and remote mining sites where connectivity is unreliable and sensor uptime is critical.Ouster’s Monday strength is also being reinforced by manufacturing-readiness messaging around Rev8, including capacity exceeding 100,000 units annually and a planned 10-year production life. Benchmark’s footprint, 20 facilities across eight countries, adds credibility to the scale narrative.Critical Price Levels To Watch For OUSTThe longer-term trend remains firmly up: at $43.85, the stock is trading 14.1% above its 20-day SMA ($43.04) and 79.6% above its 200-day SMA ($27.33), which typically signals buyers still control the bigger picture. The 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA (bullish), and the golden cross that formed in May (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) continues to reinforce the uptrend structure.For momentum, MACD is the key tell right now: it’s below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which suggests upside pressure is cooling versus the prior upswing unless it can re-accelerate. That "cooling" matters because the stock set a recent swing high in June and is still working near that zone after also tagging its 52-week high in June ($51.50).
