AI Insight: AMPH Financial Trends

Operating income collapsed to $14M in Q1 2026 — the lowest in the eight-quarter window — as net income fell 76% year-over-year from $25M to $6M.

Operating income deteriorated sharply from $55M in Q2 2024 to $14M in Q1 2026, compressing implied op margin from ~30% to ~8%.

Net income dropped from $38–40M range in Q2–Q3 2024 to just $6M in Q1 2026, a multi-quarter downtrend with no recovery.

Revenue has oscillated between $171M and $192M across eight quarters, showing no meaningful growth trend.

Total debt crept from $587M in Q2 2024 to $621M in Q4 2025, though Q1 2026 saw a slight reduction to $611M.

Operating CF of $48M in Q1 2026 meaningfully exceeds net income of $6M — monitor whether non-cash charges explain widening gap.

Operating income has fallen four consecutive quarters to $14M; any further compression risks inability to service $611M debt load.

Revenue held flat at $171M in Q1 2026 year-over-year — watch whether pricing pressure or volume loss is driving margin erosion.

AI Insight: AMPH Ratio Trends

AMPH's Q1 2026 operating margin collapsed to 8.0%, the lowest in the visible dataset, signaling a sharp and accelerating profitability deterioration.

Operating margin fell from 30.3% in Q2 2024 to just 8.0% in Q1 2026 — a 22-percentage-point compression over seven quarters.

ROIC dropped from a peak of 38.2% in Q3 2024 to 8.9% in Q1 2026, erasing more than three-quarters of capital return efficiency.

Net profit margin fell to 3.8% in Q1 2026, down from 21.1% in Q3 2024, the steepest single-metric deterioration in the dataset.

TTM figures (16.2% OpMargin, 19.1% ROIC) cushion the optics but still trail the Q2–Q3 2024 peak meaningfully.

Q1 2026 ROA of 1.6% is the lowest observed — monitor whether Q2 2026 shows stabilization or continued asset productivity erosion.

The partial Q4 2025 rebound (OpMargin 19.4%) reversed sharply in Q1 2026 — assess whether this reflects structural revenue loss or one-off cost items.

D/E data is absent throughout; leverage context is missing and critical given the magnitude of margin compression.
