"For Astera specifically, it's just a high valuation. Sometimes the coin lands on tails, not just heads day in and day out. So any reason to panic? I don't know if you zoom out. I think you have a lot of reason to be happy with your investment even in spite of recent turbulence in the last couple of weeks."

The speaker comments on Astera Labs' currently high valuation, exemplified by its roughly 30x forward price-to-sales ratio derived from a previous 60x multiple. Despite strong revenue growth and profitability improvements, the cyclical nature of hardware sales and potential moderation in margins raise concerns that could lead to a valuation correction. The overall tone encourages long-term investors not to panic over short-term volatility.
