Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.13 more than doubled the $0.06 analyst estimate, a 116.67% positive surprise, underscoring the operating leverage building within the business as hyperscaler customers accelerate production ramps of new AI platforms featuring both third-party and internally developed accelerators. Non-GAAP gross margin held firm at 78%, reflecting the premium positioning of Astera's PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet connectivity solutions. Looking ahead, management guided Q3 2024 revenue of $95 million to $100 million, implying continued strong sequential momentum, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.16 to $0.17, even as a modest gross margin step-down to approximately 75% signals near-term product mix shifts tied to new platform ramps.
