AMPX’s Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $29.08 million, implying 92.6% growth over the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Multiple factors, such as new customer wins and accelerating adoption of the company’s second-generation SiCore battery platform, are likely to have boosted revenues.
Recent notable customer wins, such as defense-related contracts with AeroVironment, Teledyne FLIR and Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, are likely to have led to improved revenues. Moreover, securing a $21 million multi-quarter purchase order from a leading Chinese light electric vehicle manufacturer and expanding its Defense Innovation Unit contract to $18.1 million are likely to have further driven revenue growth.
The consistent traction of AMPX’s batteries in the light electric vehicles (EV) market, such as e-motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes, is likely to have supported margins.
The consensus estimate for loss per share is 3 cents, indicating a year-over-year improvement of 40% from the year-ago quarter’s actual loss of 5 cents. We expect expanded margins, driven by controlled operational expenses, to have improved the bottom line and narrowed the losses.
