The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
AmpliTech Group, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 42.2/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3248 out of 7,333 stocks. AMPG's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 49/100, AMPG shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -13.9% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 34.2% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of -28.1% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 45/100, AMPG appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 104.37x, a P/B ratio of 1.86x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
AmpliTech Group, Inc.'s investment score of 23/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 141.1% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of -10.6% (sector: -0.1%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
AMPG demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 50/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 141.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.85 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
AMPG's stability score of 29/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.85 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 32.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 51/100 for AMPG suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.85), elevated leverage (D/E: 32.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $80M market cap (micro-cap), AmpliTech Group, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
AmpliTech Group, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3248 of 7,333 overall (56th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -13.9% trailing the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of -28.0% below the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While AMPG currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate AmpliTech Group, Inc. (AMPG) as a Reduce with a composite score of 42.2/100 at a current price of $2.67. The quantitative profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting limited upside potential and elevated risk of underperformance relative to peers over the next 12 months.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (50th percentile) and quality (49th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (23th percentile) and stability (29th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (31/100), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: sustainability of the current growth rate; the path to profitability. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
AmpliTech Group, Inc. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 42.2/100 places it at rank #3248 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $80M in market capitalization, AmpliTech Group, Inc. is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue is growing at 141%, though momentum at the 50th percentile suggests the market has not yet fully recognized this trajectory. This potential disconnect between fundamental improvement and market recognition could represent an opportunity for patient investors if the growth trend persists.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 34% (-8.3pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -28% (-29.3pp vs sector) and net margins of -28.1%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of -82%. The significant margin erosion from gross to net suggests elevated operating expenses, high interest costs, or other structural drags that warrant monitoring.
At a current price of $2.67, AmpliTech Group, Inc. is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 45/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at EV/EBITDA of 104.4x (at a premium), P/B of 1.9x, P/S of 2.8x. We evaluate these multiples in the context of both absolute levels and sector-relative positioning to form our valuation view.
Revenue growth of 141% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
The Reduce rating (composite 42.2/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Thin net margins of -28.1% provide limited cushion against cost pressures, competitive pricing, or macroeconomic headwinds — even small changes in costs could swing the company to a loss.
High beta of 1.85 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
We assign a Very High uncertainty rating to AmpliTech Group, Inc.. The stock exhibits multiple compounding risk factors: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.85), current negative profitability (net margin -28.1%), below-average price stability (29th percentile). The extreme uncertainty around future cash flows makes precise valuation difficult, and the range of outcomes is exceptionally wide. Only investors with high risk tolerance and extended time horizons should consider this name.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.85); current negative profitability (net margin -28.1%); below-average price stability (29th percentile). Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 29th percentile and quality factor at the 49th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
We identify limited risk mitigants at this time, which contributes to our very high uncertainty assessment. Investors should monitor for improvement in balance sheet metrics, margin stability, and business predictability that could warrant a downgrade in our risk assessment over time.
We rate AmpliTech Group, Inc.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include low returns on equity (-13.9%), negative profitability, weak asset returns (ROA -10.6%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — AmpliTech Group, Inc. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, AmpliTech Group, Inc. receives a Reduce rating with a composite score of 42.2/100 (rank #3248 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (31/100, trend: stable), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 39/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on AmpliTech Group, Inc. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, very high uncertainty, and poor capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
Analysis derived from Blank Capital Research quantitative terminal. For informational purposes only. No trade solicitation. Past performance not indicative of future results. Consult a qualified advisor.
We do not assign AmpliTech Group, Inc. a meaningful economic moat, scoring 31/100 on our composite assessment. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, growth durability, reached only 10.9/20.
The strongest moat sources are growth durability (10.9/20) and financial resilience (9.5/20). Rev growth 141%, 10yr history. Interest coverage N/A, Net debt/EBITDA -49.3x. These pillars form the core of AmpliTech Group, Inc.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include economic value creation (1/20) and reinvestment efficiency (3.5/20). ROE proxy -13.9% (sector -2.5%). Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect AmpliTech Group, Inc.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include robust top-line growth of 141% expanding the revenue base. The margin cascade from 34% gross to -28% operating to -28.1% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 49th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 34%, operating margins of -28%, net margins of -28.1%. Return metrics include ROE of -13.9% and ROA of -10.6%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 8.3 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of -13.9% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects moderate leverage with D/E of 32%, revenue growth of 141%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting AmpliTech Group, Inc. at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
