Astera Labs (ALAB) is earning investor attention following a blowout second quarter that exceeded consensus estimates across revenue, margins, and earnings. The stock has rocketed up almost 42% over the last week, driven by enthusiasm over its potential to be a player in the upcoming second generation of artificial intelligence infrastructure, a market inflection point that its management sees adding a whopping $5 billion to its addressable market by 2030.
