This looks to be similar to ampx.. does it have the same potential? Now trading at 1.32

Come on bruh, at least give us an AI overview!
SES AI Corporation, a leader in AI-enhanced high-performance lithium-metal and lithium-ion batteries, has shown significant progress in transitioning from a development-stage company to one generating meaningful revenue, providing several reasons for optimism about future revenue growth and eventual profitability.
SES AI at a Glance – March 2026
AI-powered next-gen batteries & materials (Lithium-metal, Li-ion) across Energy Storage Systems (ESS), Drones, and Materials — shifting toward commercialization.2025 Performance Highlights Revenue: $21.0 million (10x increase from $2.0M in 2024)
Q4 Revenue: $4.6 million (+124% YoY)
Liquidity: $200 million (runway into 2028)
Net Loss Improvement: Reduced YoY, with disciplined cost management
2026 Guidance – Path to Growth Revenue: $30–35 million (+43–67% YoY; higher on adjusted basis excluding one-time items)
Key Drivers: All three units contributing ESS (~65% of revenue, ~15% gross margin; largest driver via UZ Energy)
Drones (>20% gross margin potential as volumes scale)
Materials (10–20% gross margin via Hisun JV)
Blended Gross Margin: ~15% (room to improve with scale & software attach)
Operating Expenses: ~15% reduction vs 2025
Capex: Single-digit millions (capex-light model)
Why Hopeful for Revenue & Eventual Profitability? Proven revenue ramp: From near-zero ? $21M ? $30–35M projected
Diversified streams reduce risk in high-growth markets (ESS, drones, materials)
AI edge (Molecular Universe platform) drives breakthroughs & potential IP/monetization
Strong balance sheet: $200M cash ? multi-year runway without heavy dilution
Margin levers: Higher-margin drone/materials growth + cost discipline ? path to breakeven
Risks to Note
2026 guidance below prior analyst expectations (~$52M consensus)
Still unprofitable (deep losses persist)
Execution-dependent commercialization ramp
Bottom Line for Investors
SES is transitioning from R&D to revenue-generating scale in multiple high-potential segments. With $200M cash and improving fundamentals, it offers asymmetric upside if execution delivers — but remains high-risk until consistent profitability emerges.(Visual suggestions for infographic: Use upward arrows for growth stats, pie chart for 2026 revenue mix, battery/drone icons, green for cash/liquidity, timeline from 2024–2026 showing revenue explosion.)

Lots of upward growth potential . Only real concern as with all of them would be dillution. Already took it on the chin from its highs

Good find!
