AMPX’s Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $35.83 million, implying 67.2% growth over the year-ago quarter’s actual.

Multiple factors, such as new customer wins and expansion into electric mobility, are likely to have boosted revenues.

Recent notable customer wins, including a $24 million order from a European drone manufacturer in 2026, along with growing customer adoption of AMPX’s silicon-anode batteries, which can extend drone flight times by 50% to 80% in certain applications, are likely to create additional revenue opportunities and drive growth.

Amprius' expansion beyond drones into electric mobility is expected to diversify its revenue streams and support long-term growth. The company recently signed a three-year agreement with Stark Future, a premium electric motorcycle manufacturer. AMPX also secured a $21 million multi-quarter purchase order from a leading Chinese light electric vehicle manufacturer. These agreements strengthen the company's presence in the electric mobility market and are expected to expand its reach across electric motorcycles, scooters and other light electric vehicles. This continued diversification is expected to reduce its reliance on drone-related demand while broadening its customer base and creating additional growth opportunities.

The consensus estimate for loss per share is pegged at 1 cent, indicating a 66.7% improvement from the year-ago quarter’s reported loss of 3 cents. We expect AMPX’s asset-light contract manufacturing model, which includes partners in China, South Korea and the United States, to have supported margin expansion and narrowed losses by enabling revenue growth without requiring substantial investments in company-owned manufacturing facilities.
