I rate Mobileye (MBLY) a buy due to its superior technology, broad physical AI applications, positive FCF, and reasonable valuation versus Ouster (OUST). MBLY's mobility-focused sensors and 25 years of experience position it for long-term demand and higher returns as AV and AI adoption accelerates. MBLY's growth inflects meaningfully in 2028+ when Chauffeur and Drive systems are deployed in robotaxis, potentially driving a valuation re-rating.
