At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the AEye Q3 2025 Earnings Conference Call.
AEye, Inc. is expanding beyond lidar hardware, leveraging partnerships with Blue-Band and Nvidia to target smart infrastructure and autonomous driving markets. The OPTIS initiative and Nvidia DRIVE AGX integration position the company at the intersection of traffic intelligence and AI-powered mobility. I understand concern about the recent LIDR stock pullbacks, however, I'm viewing the decline as a cooling phase rather than a shift in fundamentals.
