Analyst Charles Anderson mentioned that although the inventory correction by GoPro Inc GPRO was known since Ambarella reported its earnings in December, “the extent of the correction was jarring.”

The April quarter estimates have therefore been lowered, with GoPro being totally removed from the estimates.

Anderson stated that although there still were “speed bumps” ahead for the company, including the April quarter guidance and weakness in the China security market, “Ambarella's product leadership is intact and there are multiple growth opportunities in front of it.”
