For people who are worried about the market today, I get it. This stuff is very stressful.
So I put together a chart of all of the times the VIX (the "fear index" of the market) was up over 30% in a day (like today) in the past ten years.
23 out of 25 instances the market was higher one month later. The only two times it wasn't was Feb 2020 when Covid hit the economy in March 2020.
What is the underlying message? When people are afraid, they make bad decisions. Do the opposite.
Attached is a chart summarizing my results.
Here's the key info on AmpliTech Group's Nvidia connection:
The Nvidia AI-RAN Demo (May 2026)
AmpliTech worked with Northeastern University's Open6G OTIC and participated in a demonstration using Nvidia AI Aerial and OpenAirInterface. This extends a partnership that previously achieved an end-to-end, multi-vendor, virtualized O-RAN-compliant Massive MIMO network demonstration. (sec)
The platform combines an AmpliTech mMIMO O-RAN Category B radio unit, Nvidia AI Aerial GPU-accelerated RAN processing, and OpenAirInterface software into a fully open, standards-compliant architecture. The 64-antenna system sustained throughput for multiple users under mobility, validating that high-performance, GPU-accelerated AI-RAN can be built with interoperable, non-proprietary components. (sec)
What This Means for the Business
This isn't a direct commercial contract with Nvidia — it's a technology validation collaboration in an AI-RAN research environment. The significance is that AmpliTech's radio hardware is being proven interoperable with Nvidia's AI Aerial platform, which could open doors to larger telecom deployments.
Company Context
AmpliTech reported record FY2025 revenue of ~$25 million (up 163% YoY) and reaffirmed guidance of at least $50 million for FY2026. (FinancialContent) In Q1 2026, revenue grew 48.6% YoY to $5.35 million, with gross margin expanding to 48%. The company remains debt-free. (Investors Hangout)
In short, the Nvidia tie is more of a technical ecosystem validation than a formal partnership — but in the O-RAN/AI-RAN space, being part of Nvidia's Aerial stack is a meaningful commercial signal.
