Iran just changed everything for gold

Dear Fellow Investor,

The Iran War didn't just make headlines.

It broke the gold market wide open.

Gold is already above $5,000 and surging.

But the metal isn't where the real money gets made.

There's one tiny company sitting on more gold than France, Italy, and China combined.

It moves 10x faster than the metal.

And right now, it's still trading at a 99% discount to what it's actually worth.

A briefing with the ticker is waiting for you.

Go here for the full gold briefing — including the stock name and buy-up-to price >>>

Amprius Stock Price Gets Amped by Hyper Growth Outlook

Submitted by Thomas Hughes. First Published: 3/5/2026.

Key Points

  • Amprius Technologies is on track for hypergrowth and outperformance in 2026 as manufacturing and demand trends collide.
  • Ramping production and full-NDAA compliance unlock the door to accelerating government demand.
  • AMPX batteries can disrupt the battery market, offering superior performance and energy density, enabling larger payloads and longer ranges.
  • Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today

It has taken time, but Amprius Technologies' (NYSE: AMPX) strategy execution is paying off, amplifying its hypergrowth outlook. Among the critical details from its Q4 2025 earnings report was better-than-expected guidance that points to another year of solid gains.

Management expects revenue growth to slow, but still to a hyper-70%+ pace — and the guidance is likely conservative.

The new lie the U.S. government wants to sell you (Ad)

Decades ago, Washington sold the American public on ditching cash for credit cards to protect us from theft and stop criminals, but instead of stopping crime, it gave the government an unprecedented window into our daily lives—every flight, restaurant, and gallon of gas leaving a permanent data trail. Through a new initiative outlined in Federal Reserve Docket No. OP-1670, known as FedNow, the government is rolling out the ultimate financial tracking web that routes all those fragmented private transactions through a single centralized hub operated by the Federal Reserve itself, giving the federal government real-time 24/7 visibility into virtually every dollar moving through the U.S. economy with the power to flag or freeze your money with a single keystroke.

Follow-on contracts, new clients, improved execution, an expanding manufacturing network, and full compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) all position the company well.

Other details included a one-time charge related to the discontinued lease of a Colorado facility. Originally intended as the company's manufacturing base, Amprius has since shifted to a contract-manufacturing model for its high-tech batteries, relying on third-party manufacturers.

The charge is a one-time event that clarifies the balance sheet and improves cash-flow visibility as the company strengthens its manufacturing footprint. Three South Korean battery manufacturers and one U.S.-based manufacturer were recently added to the network, putting Amprius on track for full NDAA compliance and accelerating government business this year. 

Amprius Accelerates its Profitability Outlook in 2026

Amprius Technologies delivered an electrifying quarter: revenue grew more than 137% year-over-year (YOY), outpacing consensus by over 1,000 basis points (bps). Strength came from new and existing clients and strong execution, with client and contract wins pointing to additional momentum in 2026. 

Margins were another catalyst. The company's revenue leverage, improved operating model, and operational execution drove broad improvements. Gross margin widened by 4,500 bps to 24%, producing a 365% YOY improvement in gross profit — both positive — and marking the company's first quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.

The company continues to burn cash, but losses have contracted sharply and are expected to keep improving over subsequent quarters. Analysts currently forecast an inflection to adjusted profits in Q1 2027, though it could occur by late 2026, and management is guiding to positive adjusted EBITDA.

Analysts Point to 60% Upside Potential and Long-Term Highs

Analysts have been slow to react to Amprius' Q4 results, but the bullish trends leading into the report should strengthen in its wake.

Coverage has increased to nine analysts on a trailing-twelve-month (TTM) basis, sentiment has firmed to Moderate Buy with an 88% buy-side bias, and price targets are rising.

The consensus price target implies more than 30% upside from the pre-release closing price, while the high-end range — set by Northland Securities last year and reaffirmed by Needham in January — suggests an additional ~25% upside is possible. 

Institutional ownership provides another catalyst. Institutional interest remains light at roughly 5% as of early March, but the trend is strengthening. Institutional buying spiked in Q4 2025 and stayed strong in Q1 2026, giving the stock additional tailwinds.

This rising ownership is notable given the short interest. Short interest spiked in late 2025 and early 2026, setting the market up for potential short-covering rallies or a short squeeze. 

No Red Flags in AMPX’s Balance Sheet: Green Flags in Its Price Action

Amprius' balance sheet shows no immediate red flags. The company is well-capitalized, reported net cash on a relative-to-liabilities basis, and increased shareholder equity in 2025. Equity rose by nearly 50%, leaving leverage at ultra-low levels and positioning the company to continue executing its strategy.

Looking ahead, the cash balance may decline over the coming quarters, but additional capital raises appear unlikely at this point. With no immediate need to invest in owned manufacturing capacity, management can focus capital on development, marketing, and sales — another factor suggesting potential outperformance this year. 

The stock price action also shows constructive technical signals. Monthly, weekly, and daily charts converged with bullish indicators following the release. While periodic pullbacks are possible, those may present buying opportunities for investors and traders.

Over the long term, the stock may sustain upward momentum for many quarters — potentially several years — with technical projections suggesting a floor near $30.

Samsara Shows What Happens When Fundamentals Beat Fear

Submitted by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. First Published: 3/11/2026.

Key Points

  • Samsara is demonstrating accelerating revenue growth from its largest enterprise customers while establishing a clear foundation for sustained profitability.
  • The company's massive, proprietary data asset creates a powerful competitive advantage, fueling its AI models and delivering tangible value to clients.
  • High multi-product adoption rates among large customers signal the platform has become an essential and deeply integrated part of their core operations.
  • Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today

In a market quick to punish tech companies for any hint of weakness, one company delivered a masterclass in operational execution. Against ongoing volatility and a sharp focus on profitability, investors sent Samsara (NYSE: IOT) shares up more than 18% after its latest earnings report.

This wasn't a random market move; it was a clear signal. As speculative growth stories face greater scrutiny, investors are rewarding companies that produce tangible results and solve real business problems. Samsara's performance highlights a market that increasingly values operational necessity over abstract potential.

Performance, Profitability, and Enterprise Dominance

The new lie the U.S. government wants to sell you (Ad)

Decades ago, Washington sold the American public on ditching cash for credit cards to protect us from theft and stop criminals, but instead of stopping crime, it gave the government an unprecedented window into our daily lives—every flight, restaurant, and gallon of gas leaving a permanent data trail.

Samsara's stock didn't rally on sentiment alone; it was driven by its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report, which showed strength across every key metric. The results painted a picture of a company executing at a high level, accelerating growth and establishing a clear path to sustained profitability.

The headline figures provided the initial catalyst. Samsara reported strong top-line growth, with key metrics including:

  • Quarterly revenue: $444.3 million, a 28% increase year over year.
  • Annual recurring revenue (ARR): $1.89 billion, up 30% year over year—an acceleration at scale.
  • Profitability: Samsara delivered its second consecutive GAAP profitable quarter with GAAP EPS of $0.04. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.18 comfortably beat Wall Street's consensus of $0.13.

Digging deeper, the growth is anchored by success in the most valuable customer segment: large enterprises. ARR from customers contributing more than $100,000 annually surged 37%, and this high-value cohort now represents 61% of Samsara's total ARR. The quarter also produced a record 13 new deals worth over $1 million each, signaling that the largest, most complex operations are choosing Samsara and validating the platform's enterprise-grade capabilities.

That success ties directly to Samsara's platform strategy. The company is positioning itself as the central nervous system for clients' physical operations: 96% of large customers subscribe to two or more Samsara products. High multi-product adoption increases stickiness, reduces churn risk, and locks in long-term, predictable revenue.

Looking ahead, management's confident forecast for fiscal 2027 has bolstered investor optimism. Samsara projects revenue growth of 21%–22% and expects to achieve full-year GAAP profitability. That guidance suggests the quarter was not a one-off but the start of a more efficient, durable growth trajectory.

Building an Unbeatable Edge

A strong quarter can spark a rally, but a sustainable investment case needs a durable competitive advantage. Samsara's long-term value rests on a foundation that insulates it from market whims and many direct competitors.

At the core is a proprietary data moat. Samsara's platform collects more than 25 trillion data points annually from the millions of vehicles and pieces of equipment it monitors. This is unique operational data, not internet data that can be scraped or copied. Each new customer expands that dataset, improving the platform's AI models and creating a powerful network effect that's difficult for rivals to replicate.

That data advantage enables practical AI that delivers measurable ROI, separating Samsara from much of the speculative AI hype. For example, the new AI Safety Coach can autonomously review safety footage, provide real-time voice coaching to drivers, and automate safety workflows. For fleet operators, that translates into fewer accidents, less downtime and lower insurance costs.

This focus on clear, measurable value makes Samsara's offerings essential, especially in uncertain economic conditions. As businesses prioritize efficiency and cost control, spending on tools that improve fuel efficiency and prevent breakdowns becomes less discretionary, positioning Samsara as an all-weather holding.

Additionally, Samsara acts as a pick-and-shovel play on several secular trends. Its core customers in construction, logistics and utilities are building the physical infrastructure for the future—including the massive data centers needed for the AI era. As those industries expand, demand for Samsara's operational-efficiency platform should grow. After the earnings report, multiple analysts reiterated Buy ratings and raised price targets, with firms such as Wells Fargo ($46) and BMO Capital Markets ($44) seeing notable upside.

More Than a One-Quarter Wonder

Samsara's market-defying surge is more than a reaction to a single strong earnings report; it affirms a superior business model. The company is solving essential, real-world problems for industries that form the backbone of the global economy.

In a market that is rightly questioning lofty valuations, Samsara's combination of accelerating growth, a credible path to sustained profitability and a formidable competitive moat offers a compelling blueprint for resilience. For investors seeking durable growth grounded in tangible value, Samsara looks positioned for a profitable future.
