hello

[IREN @IREN_Ltd]

WATCH: IREN’s @danroberts0101 talks with @MorganLBrennan on CNBC's Morning Call. Airing live on Tuesday, September 1 ~5:15am ET.

[Daniel Roberts @danroberts0101]

A few people have Thursday's numbers tangled, so let me untangle them.

The majority of the $684m loss is the cost of retiring Bitcoin miners as we convert those sites to AI Cloud. Non-cash. The cloud business underneath ran ~87% gross margins (ex D&A).

Every megawatt that comes off mining goes back on at multiples of the revenue. Recent 3-year AI Cloud contracts are at >$20m per MW (IT), more than double late last year.

And the $25-30bn of forecasted FY27 capex isn't an equity number. Customer prepayments can cover about half the GPU capex. Lenders can fund most of the rest. We raised ~$19bn over the last twelve months and only ~$3bn of it was equity. We haven't borrowed a dollar against the data centers yet either.

$4bn of ARR is contracted, with three sites commissioning between now and year end to bring it online. And that's the 2026 story. The real ramp is 2027, when Sweetwater and the next wave of capacity come into play.

It's delivery time.

NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud at the compute layer. NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisor via @MirantisIT at the software layer. IREN is the only cloud provider with both.

BREAKING NEWS: $AMPG HAS RECEIVED $7.3M ORDER FOR O-RAN 5G DEVICES FROM AN ASIAN MNO.

A mid-intraday PR landed about 30 minutes ago confirming that the Asian MNO deployment is moving again. The delays that caused the company to pull guidance are now resolved, and it has just received its biggest purchase order ever from this project, worth $7.3 million.

Reminder: AmpliTech was not sure whether these orders would slip into next year, so it pulled guidance. They have landed now.

CEO Fawad Maqbool commented:

"Together with the follow-on orders recently received in support of our North American MNO program, we believe these orders reflect continued customer confidence in our ability to perform in real-world O-RAN networks. They also restore meaningful momentum under the previously announced LOI program and further strengthen AmpliTech’ s commercial position as we focus on converting our growing opportunity pipeline into shipments and revenue."

This is absolute huge news! 🔥🚀

[Olyth @olyth_capital]

Did $AMPG just completly reverse the damage from last earnings?

AmpliTech pulled the $50M FY26 number and said volume shipments on one international 5G program had slipped.

Stock price tanked ont this news.

Bureaucracy/deployment timing in Asia.

Not cancelled demand.

The large overseas LOI was still active.

Today they announced over $7.3M in follow-on O-RAN 5G orders for an Asian MNO under that previously announced LOI, after radios were already deployed at end-customer sites.

They also noted separate North America follow-ons.

Delayed Asian account, now reordering.

Validation of the “timing, not cancellation” story.

Demand is there and the company is still following through.

BREAKING: $AMPG SUBSIDIARY AGMDC WINS THREE COMPETITIVE DESIGN WINS FOR A PHASED-ARRAY SATCOM PLATFORM

AmpliTech today announced that its AmpliTech Group Microwave Design Center division has received orders for three newly developed custom Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) components for use in an advanced phased-array satellite communications system.

In summary:

✅️ All three were competitively sourced. AmpliTech won on performance against the customer’s technical requirements.

✅️ The parts go into an advanced phased-array satellite communications system.

✅️ AGMDC is now established as the supplier of these components for the customer’s platform.

✅️ Future production depends on customer demand, program schedules, and purchase orders.

CEO Fawad Maqbool commented:

“What makes this strategically important for AmpliTech is that these are not off-the-shelf components. Our engineers were asked to solve specific, demanding RF challenges, and their designs were selected.

We believe wins of this nature can deepen our participation in next-generation satellite platforms, strengthen long-term customer relationships, and create opportunities for additional recurring production as customer programs progress.”

Winning all three sockets in a competitive process tells me that their design team is real. Design wins are usually sticky. Once your custom chip is qualified into a platform, you usually stay for the life of the program.

Phased arrays use many chips per system. If this platform reaches production volume, three sockets can turn into recurring orders. 🔥🚀

UBS Upgrades $FLNC to Neutral from Sell, Raises PT to $12 from $9

Analyst comments: "The recent FY26 guidance cut likely establishes a trough in near-term earnings expectations for FLNC, creating a favorable benchmark as earnings growth reaccelerates in FY2027, in our view.

We revise our FY2026/27/28 adjusted EBITDA estimates to $(12)/108/115mn from $55/92/106mn to reflect revenue pushed out of FY2026E into FY2027E and continue to see robust demand for battery storage underpinned by new solar+storage hybrid installations, retrofits of existing solar plants, and data center demand.

We model for FLNC to grow revenue at a 22% five-year CAGR from 2025-30E, and at the current valuation of ~16x FY2027E EV/EBITDA, we view the stock as having a more balanced risk/reward profile and move to the sidelines."

@OpenAIDevs Quick question, so is that mean Codex+5.6 Sol is cheaper now ?

[BrokeRaton @brokerato]

I've been using 5.6 Sol and feels super good.

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

If you’re building with GPT-5.6 Sol, we’re reducing API prices by over 20% for the next 3 months as we make it more efficient to run, while the credits you buy will go further in Codex on token-based plans and the usage included in your subscription stays the same.

NASDAQ TO LAUNCH OVERNIGHT TRADING SESSION

Starting Dec. 6, 2026, Nasdaq will introduce a new trading session running from 9 PM to 4 AM ET. Nasdaq is also working with regulators on plans to eventually offer nearly continuous trading, 23 hours a day, five days a week.

[ChinoAleman @chinoalemano]

JUST IN: $AMPG just published the press release the market begged for on Thursday.

Numbers.

Dates.

And one line that changes the shape of the whole story.

THE HARD NUMBERS the call didn't give you:

➟ ~$17 MILLION in current backlog. Open orders. Not LOIs, not forecasts. Purchase orders on the books.

➟ MORE THAN 2,000 RADIOS shipped and in service with a Tier-1 mobile operator. The first unit count in company history. Two thousand American-designed open RAN radios on live towers. This is not a story stock anymore. It's an installed base.

➟ Over $17M in ORAN shipments since the program began. $6M+ in new orders in July alone.

THE LINE THAT CHANGES THE SHAPE:

A Tier-1 telecommunications infrastructure EQUIPMENT provider has sent AmpliTech an RFP for its ORAN 5G radios.

Management's sizing: "tens of millions of dollars" if awarded in full.

Read the word again.

EQUIPMENT provider.

Not a carrier.

An OEM.

One of the handful of companies on Earth that BUILD networks is formally asking the $118M Long Island design house to quote radios.

That's the open-socket thesis stepping out of the slide deck and into a procurement process.

The name is under NDA, and I won't guess in public.

The category is enough: there aren't ten companies that fit the description.

THE MARGIN MYSTERY, SOLVED IN ONE SENTENCE:

The company disclosed it "strategically accepted approximately $2 million in reduced profit" on the initial North American program to win qualification with a major carrier and build the reference deployment.

Translation: they BOUGHT the anchor customer with margin. On purpose. And they say that phase is "substantially completed", with future orders at "improved economics",

The 27.9% wasn't decay.

It was the entry fee.

Now you know the price of the ticket.

THE DATES, for the first time ever:

➟ Positive EBITDA: Fiscal Year 2027.

➟ Margin improvement: beginning 2027.

➟ Titan Crest: closed and cleaned up. Price cut from $8M to $7M, rights and claims fully intact.

HONEST FRAMING, and today it's heavy, because the same release also lands the plane:

➟ Guidance is back only as a FLOOR: 2026 revenue "expected to exceed FY2025". That's above $25.2M.

➟ The Asian program: active, uncancelled, but "a portion may extend into 2027". Officially slipping into next year.

➟ Under $120M market cap, ~$33M pro forma cash, zero long-term debt.

Thursday the market sold a company with no backlog number, no profitability date and no visibility.

Monday that company has $17M in open orders, 2,000 radios in the field, a profitability date, and a Tier-1 equipment maker asking for a quote.

Same company.

Better paperwork.

The delay was real.

The machine was never broken.

Not financial advice. DYOR.

Still long $AMPG.

[Johan N. @rk8215]

$AMPG released an extensive PR today and gave a financial outlook for 2026. I feel many of us hoped this information would have been in the Q2 ER, but better late than never.

The company is moving in the right direction, and now we know why margins took a hit and we have more visibility into potential upcoming catalysts.

Amplitech has everything they need to succeed. Now it is time to turn words into actions and results.

Highlights:

- FY2026 revenue outlook is higher than FY2025 (over $25M). I feel this is a very safe outlook as we are already sitting at $19M.

- Current backlog is approximately $17M, and over $17M of 5G O-RAN shipments have already been completed.

- Titan Crest APA purchase price cut by $1M, from $8M to $7M, under Amendment No. 2. AmpliTech kept all its rights and claims against Titan, while Titan's affiliate assumed substantially all remaining covenants and indemnification obligations.

- AmpliTech has received a large RFP from a Tier-1 telco infra equipment provider, which could potentially bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue.

- Additional MNO discussions and evaluations are ongoing in North America and internationally, with names under NDA.

- Margins to improve in 2027. The dip in margins was caused by $2M in reduced profit on the initial North American MNO program to buy market entry.

- Future orders are expected to carry higher margins, with positive EBITDA targeted for FY2027.

@rk8215 NGL, Johan done very good job and obviously it's not his fault IMO. On the other hand, $AMPG still has its own technology and status in the field. I'm ready to stack more and more $AMPG.
