3 LiDAR Stocks Set to Explode

Firstly, what is LiDAR technology? Lidar is a technique for estimating ranges (varying distance) that involves using a laser to target an object and measuring the time it takes for the light reflected to return to the receiver. Due to variances in laser return durations and changing laser wavelengths, Lidar may also be used to create computerized 3-D renderings of places on the earth’s surface and sea bottom. It has uses on the ground, in the air, and on mobile devices.

The increasing need for autonomous cars and widespread urbanization and industrialization have fuelled the demand for cutting-edge LiDAR technology. LiDAR sensors are necessary for driverless vehicles, enhanced driver support systems, and the acquisition of 3D data for urban planning.

According to Absolute Reports, the global market for automotive and industrial LiDAR is predicted to reach $9.07 billion by 2028, with a 24.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout that time.

Let’s take a look at three very reasonably priced LiDAR technology stocks that Wall Street experts are telling us to buy now:
