S&P 500 pares some losses as Fed cuts rates; Powell eyed
Investing.com -- Amprius Technologies Inc (NYSE:AMPX) stock rose 2.4% Monday after the lithium-ion battery maker announced a purchase order exceeding $35 million for its SiCore cells from a leading unmanned aerial systems (UAS) manufacturer.
The new order follows a $15 million purchase order placed in February 2025, demonstrating growing demand for the company’s silicon anode batteries in the aviation sector. The SiCore cells are designed specifically for UAS applications, offering extended flight times and mission ranges compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
"This follow-on order of more than $35 million from an existing customer highlights both the trust we’ve built with leading drone manufacturers and the strong momentum behind our revenue and market share growth," said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies.
The company supports large-scale orders through its global contract manufacturing network, which now exceeds 1.8 GWh of secured capacity. This includes a strategic agreement in South Korea to support adoption across aerospace, defense, and electric mobility markets.
According to market data cited by Amprius, the global unmanned systems market was valued at $26.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $48.3 billion by 2030, growing at a 10.5% CAGR. UAS applications account for more than 57% of this market, with North America contributing over 45% of global revenue in 2024.
