Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Rick Munarriz]

    I've suggested that investors buy Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA  ) instead of GoPro. It's the lone provider ofvideo compression and image processing semiconductors for GoPro's cameras, but Ambarella isn't hogtied to GoPro's popularity. Ambarella's presence in Dropcam surveillance cameras and a recent deal for Google Helpouts provide diversification in high-def cameras.

    120% on Ambarella Inc. (Nasdaq: AMBA), recommended on Aug. 8 at $16.60. The stock is still up 60% from where we recommended it, and we believe it could get a nice boost from the looming IPO of extreme sports camera maker GoPro Inc.

  • [By James Oberweis]

    Ambarella's (AMBA) processor design capabilities, combined with expertise in video and image processing, algorithms, and software, together provide a technology platform that is easily scalable across multiple applications, and enables rapid, and efficient product development.

  • [By MONEYMORNING]

    Of course I'm talking about wearable tech. And Ambarella Inc. (Nasdaq: AMBA).

    Thanks to its extreme-sports "helmet cams," Ambarella is a leader in the wearable-technology category. And the company's stock has more than doubled since we first! talked a! bout it back in August.
