@BlockchainTek Makes sense lol

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

$GLXY might accelerate Helios development by adding behind the meter power capacity!

The clue is in the upcoming Dickens county meeting (June 8) agenda where there's a specific item around placement of LNG containers at the Galaxy construction site.

This is a new clue, because so far, Galaxy has gotten permits for 121 diesel generators for back up power, which opens the question for the need for LNG containers on site (unless they are dual-fuel, but why wait until now to talk about this?).

Grid connection equipment is backlogged, so if Galaxy wants to expand fast they might consider bringing on gas generators from likes of Caterpillar and GE Vernova, or fuel cells from Bloom Energy and FuelCell Energy.

This is just a clue (so could be a nothing burger), the minutes from the meeting will be telling.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@DCryptDeezNutz Yup! They can energize faster or even expand capacity beyond 3.5 GW

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@RHouseResearch More time for us to arbitrage the disconnect. I reckon it's a short window.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@NicolasFlamelX I wonder if this is related to them being a energy market participant: GLXY is asking for the ability to place LNG containers on their site....

@Franchise9494 How about for fuel cells from Bloom or FluelCell Energy?

@stefanvanderlux @galaxyhq @cferraro06 Check out this nugget. GLXY is asking for the ability to place LNG containers on their site....

@bubbleboi Resonates a lot

[Finn Stockinger @FinnStockinger]

I just re-read the $AMPG earnings call, focusing entirely on the analyst Q&A session, and I am even more bullish on AmpliTech right now.

1️⃣ The Q2 Growth Confirmation

"No, definitely not. We are projecting Q2 to be definitely much higher than Q1." - Jorge Flores, COO (Responding to a direct analyst question on whether Q2 would flatten out)

➡️ Management went on record to confirm that the upcoming Q2 report will show immediate, sequential revenue expansion over Q1, removing concerns about a near-term stagnation.

2️⃣ The H2 Revenue Concentration

"We currently expect our revenue profile of the year to be more heavily weighted towards the later quarters." — Fawad Maqbool, CEO

➡️ Q1 and Q2 are fundamentally baseline-building periods; the bulk of the full-year revenue guidance is back-loaded into the third and fourth quarters.

3️⃣ Activating the $40 Million Pipeline

"We started the month of April very nicely. As I mentioned previously, we resumed the shipments on our $40 million LOI to our MNO in North America." - Jorge Flores, COO

➡️ The primary cash-flow catalyst for the year is moving; shipments to this major mobile network operator are actively exiting the facility and heading toward revenue recognition.

4️⃣ Sustainable Profit Expansion

"The margin expansion is sustainable and likely to improve further as initial investments in customer acquisition and production readiness are behind us." - Fawad Maqbool, CEO (Answering if the 48% gross margin spike was temporary)

➡️ The surge to a 48% gross margin is structurally driven by the transition out of expensive product development into commercial hardware sales.

5️⃣ Clearing the Destocking Hangover

"The industry-wide inventory destocking cycle that slowed down orders last year is officially over." - Fawad Maqbool, CEO

➡️ Telecom giants have finally drawn down their excess component reserves and must return to regular, predictable procurement cycles from suppliers like AmpliTech.

6️⃣ Direct Pipeline Acceleration

"We have ongoing discussions that could convert straight to Purchase Orders (POs) and be announced in the next quarter or so." - Management Q&A Session

➡️ Beyond existing Letters of Intent, the company is negotiating direct-to-order contracts that can bypass the traditional LOI stage entirely.

7️⃣ Transitory Operational Headwinds

"First quarter SG&A expense was elevated by non-recurring items including approximately $180,000 for trade show participation and hiring a new marketing company." - Louisa Sanfratello, CFO

➡️Underlying operational expenses are cleaner than the raw Q1 overhead suggests, as these upfront marketing fees will drop off in coming periods.

8️⃣ Density Trends Expanding the TAM

"The company believes this LOI itself will surpass the $100 million mark supported by production forecasts that we have received." - Fawad Maqbool, CEO

➡️The underlying value of their customer pipeline is naturally growing because network operators require higher equipment density to support 5G and AI-RAN hardware layouts.

9️⃣ De-risking via Liquidity

"It is important to highlight that AmpliTech Group remains debt-free with $18.4 million in cash." - Louisa Sanfratello, CFO

➡️ Wiping out long-term debt via recent capital raises removes interest-rate pressure and gives the company a working capital cushion of $25.4 million to scale operations.

🔟 Cross-Border Leverage

"Our success as being the largest O-RAN deployment in America is helping us to reach out and reach further in Europe." - Fawad Maqbool, CEO

➡️ Domestic deployment validation is being used directly as leverage to secure international footing in European infrastructure projects.

👇
What are your thoughts on this one?

➡️ Does the heavy back-loading of revenue into H2 worry you, or do you view it as a clear accumulation window?

Recommend also @rk8215 @chinoalemano for $AMPG write-ups.

Let's discuss.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@moonmarket $AMPG is interesting.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

This is a very well researched piece by Johan. I just bought some $AMPG as it's breaking out to a new 52 week high.

I'll likely cut if it loses momentum. I want to some nice continuation here.

[Johan N. @rk8215]

$AMPG - My Amplitech investment thesis is now published.

In a world racing toward AI networks and large quantum machines, does it make sense that the O-RAN pioneer and only American maker of cryogenic amplifiers, growing fast, debt-free, with $118M of orders in hand is worth only about $130 million?

Please share, like & bookmark if you like it.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@rk8215 Great post! Thanks for putting it together.

$RVMD +1.38%

Genomics, gene editing, AI drug discovery, obesity, and precision medicine are all catching a bid. Interesting sector rotation developing.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

I can't predict daily prices. This is a very volatile micro-cap. The management team needs to raise capital for runway so I expect there to be some form of announcement which might cause more volatility give the dilution.

I'm just holding long-term considering this super high risk.

My thought is if they announce a capital raise with decent terms, the stock should further re-rate.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

My GPT daily "AI radar" flagged $XOS for me.

$85 million market cap that's up 200%+ today.

It's a battery company that targeted vans (these were trending during covid days) and now repurposing to data center battery solutions.

Stocked popped crazy after announcement, from 20 million market cap to 85 million market cap.

Many of these micro caps scam by releasing PR.

However, what makes me look deeper here is that they seem to have a deployment deal, and their revenues materially grew last quarter. Going to do more DD and see what I can find.

I acquired a tiny allocation to keep it on my radar. This could be a re-rating story if management executes like $BE or $FCEL.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

At this point if you're bullish bitcoin:native you need to be bullish $MSTR.

So might as well DCA $MSTR for the torque.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@46thHailCannons Totally Agree.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

$EONR is one of my largest holdings. They're projected to multiply their oil production over the coming years, starting this quarter.

We're due to get a report on drilling results any day now.

There are many near term catalyst outlined in this table.

Note that there's risk of new wells don't meet production targets. However, if they do, then this is a $2-3 stock in 12-24 months, even if oil prices drop. NFA.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@TradingThomas3 No, only happy bulls.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

@sam54xyz It's because they did a 1-30 reverse split, so the exercise price is $345 and they expire in August 2026.
