Aeva Technologies: A Genuine LiDAR Re-Rating, Priced As If 2028 Is Already Won

Aeva builds FMCW 4D LiDAR sensors and perception software for automotive, trucking, and industrial customers, converting technical differentiation into early commercial wins like Nikon and NVIDIA Hyperion. Q1 2026 revenue grew 86% to $6.3 million but stayed service-heavy, while the stock's roughly $1.64 billion valuation already prices in 2028 production ramps that remain contractually unproven. Rating Watch: real technology validation, but no margin of safety until shares fall toward the $8-10 conservative range.
