Here is what Baron Funds specifically said about indie Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ:INDI) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

indie Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ:INDI) is a fabless designer, developer, and marketer of automotive semiconductors for advanced driver assistance systems and connected car, user experience, and electrification applications. We elected to take a tax loss on our prior position and have been rebuilding on recent weakness. We believe that the automotive semiconductor vertical is attractive as silicon content in cars increases over time from improving safety features and autonomous driving, electrification, and premiumization of interior and exterior features. Indie is a small but rapidly growing player in the automotive semiconductor space and has a multi-billion dollar contracted backlog, providing strong visibility to its revenue ramp in the coming years. Since coming public, the company has beaten expectations every quarter and is on track to turn profitable in 2023 and achieve targeted 60% gross and 30% operating margins by 2025. Indie’s management team has previously built a semiconductor company from the ground up, achieving a successful exit, giving us high confidence in their ability to execute their strategic plan with indie as well.”
