Develops the Aurora Driver, a self-driving platform. Integrates hardware, software, and data services for autonomous vehicles. Now — the numbers.
The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs far above its sales. That only changes once the product starts selling at scale.
An average decline of 56% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

Clearly below the class average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
Clearly below the class average.
Clearly below the class average.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
Business Quality: Profit power and business quality trail similar companies in the sector.
Growth: Sales growth trails the sector average.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 62% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
Sales run at $3M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.
A loss of $816M against $3M in annual sales.
This stock swings about 2.6 times as much as the market average. Big rallies — and big drops — can both happen fast.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1.6 years. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, AUR sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: AUR is a high-risk stock — not yet profitable, and its future rides on its product catching on.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (17/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
Not covered, because the filings we hold do not carry it: the revenue breakdown.
