Amprius Q2: The Growth Thesis Is Stronger But H2 Will Be The Real Test

Amprius Technologies posted 126% revenue growth to $34M and improved gross margin to 27% in Q2, raising its 2026 outlook. AMPX's valuation has become more reasonable at 11x 2026 revenue, but profitability and cash conversion remain key hurdles for an upgrade from Hold. New commercial wins, including a $24M drone order and a multi-year Stark Future deal, strengthen AMPX's market position but carry execution risk.
