Santa Clara-based semiconductor firm Astera Labs Inc. is considering an initial public offering (IPO) for 2024. The company, specializing in artificial intelligence/machine learning and hyperscale infrastructure, has not yet finalized the exact plans for its IPO.
Astera Labs is currently valued at $3.15 billion following a round of funding led by Fidelity that raised $150 million. The company boasts a strong financial backing from Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC).'s venture arm and Atreides Management. Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) have been brought on as lead underwriters for the potential IPO.
The board of Astera Labs includes executives from Synaptics (NASDAQ:SYNA) Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META)., indicating a strong leadership foundation. This move toward a potential IPO follows in the wake of Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) Plc's successful $5.23 billion SoftBank-backed IPO.
As the timeline and details of Astera's IPO remain uncertain, interested parties are keeping a close eye on developments. The company's focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, in addition to its robust hyperscale infrastructure, make it a significant player in the semiconductor industry.
