Amprius has consistently exceeded expectations for three quarters in a row
**$AMPX - beat, raised, margin expanding, nobody’s watching**
**Q2 2026:**
Revenue $34.0M, +126% YoY, +19% QoQ
Gross margin 9% → 20% → 27% in just three quarters, targeting 30%.
Adj EBITDA -$1.0M, guiding to +$4M FY
Most importantly - Guidance raised 2nd straight quarter: $140M rev, 28%+ margin
$74.5M cash, no debt, capital-light (contract mfg, Korea + US)
**Order book ( interesting and I feel next year will be better) :**
\- $24M from new European drone maker
\- Stark Future multi-year e-moto deal, $100M+ opportunity from 2027
\- Redwire Stalker Block 30 (long-endurance ISR) now runs SiCore
Already in AeroVironment, BAE, Airbus/AALTO, Nokia, Matternet, Teledyne, DoD
**Why the TAM keeps stacking:**
\- DAWG \~$58B for autonomous systems
\- NATO + Japan defense drone budgets ramping
\- eVTOL approaching commercial launch
\- Humanoid robotics entering production
All of it needs energy density graphite / carbon can’t physically hit
450-500 Wh/kg, 10C discharge, NDAA-compliant. Qualification with a defense prime takes 18-36 months to displace - that’s the moat.
Very few battery companies have gone from lab to pilot line to mass production - Amprius is now scaling with contract manufacturing, so less Capex and faster scale - already unlocked over 2GWh production capacity equivalent to over 1.5-1.8B in plausible revenue.
**$1.7B market cap. \~60% off highs. Beat and raised anyway.**
