  @garymasonglobe @TELUS Telus is terrible, my sister went back to Rogers Shaw. I left them too years ago. No one is perfect but at least it is ok.

  @garymasonglobe @TELUS Takes forever to get service. Been waiting 4 weeks for a new remote. Called today & was told the order was still being processed and a $30 charge for the remote. Tech put in a new order saying 7 to 10 biz days. Local Telus store offered a new one for free.

  @TELUSBusiness @TELUS @TELUSsupport How has your service gone nowhere but downhill. I carry a corporate work phone and my personal phone and since the tower upgrades and huawei issues it’s been nothing but terrible. You have to figure this out. Middle of a city still junk

  This is the part that should make shorts nervous. Instead of covering today, shorts actually added another few percent to their position on $AMPG. They're doubling down, not getting out. And here's the kicker: the cost to borrow just jumped from ~35% to ~70%. ✅ 48% gross margins (up from 33%) ✅ Debt-free, ~$18M+ cash ✅ ~$200M market cap (sub-$1B) ✅ Revenue grew 165% last year ✅ FY2026 guidance of $50M+ ✅ Only American 64T64R AI-RAN radio ✅ Deployed at Telus (Tier-1 carrier) ✅ Strategic Partner in DoD-funded Open6G hub (next to NVIDIA, Dell, Qualcomm) ✅ NASA, NVIDIA, Amazon, IBM, Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, L3Harris as customers ✅ Cryogenic LNAs for quantum (IBM, Google PoC) ✅ Space/SATCOM exposure as the sector re-rates ✅ Founder-led, CEO hasn't sold a share ✅ Short float ~35%, borrow fee spiking Let me explain why that matters. The short fee is what it costs to borrow shares to short. It spikes when demand to short outstrips the shares available to lend. A jump from 35% to 70% tells you the borrowable pool is drying up, fewer and fewer shares left to short, and brokers charging a fortune for the ones that remain. So now the shorts are in a worse spot on two fronts. They're bleeding ~70% annualized just to hold the position open, and there's less room left to add. That's a setup that pressures them to cover, not relax. Adding into that, at that cost, while fundamentals improve? That's a tough hand to keep playing. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @_baserunner Telecom is getting hurt pretty bad right now, so at least it's not all just Telus.

  Hi @TELUS I am happy to report that someone from your team called and we sorted the problem out over the phone with the help of a video link. Fingers crossed, issue resolved.

  @garymasonglobe Ugh... I get dumping Telus, their customer service disappeared years ago, but with all the Teslas on the roads, X, Starlink, etc, the ketamine-addled South African is tightening his grip over an unprecedented swath of the world's population, and all their data. Terrifying!

  @RobinHoodlum That's around $2000 I've been down since last September because my AISH payments are only ~$1700 while I haven't been able to get help with filing taxes, a DTC application, etc. It hurts on top of Telus jacking up my bill (I had a disability discount they reneged on) ~$1100/yr.

  This is the most important framing of $AMPG I've seen, and it's the distinction almost everyone misses. And, obviously, comes from a guy called "calm". Let me build on it, because once you see the full picture, it's hard to unsee. Everyone wants to call today a short squeeze. But the point here is sharper: a squeeze fades, a re-rating doesn't. If today was purely shorts covering, it's mechanical. They buy back, the pressure releases, and it bleeds out over the next few days. Nothing fundamental changed. But if today was the market starting to recognize the actual business, that's a completely different animal. That's a beginning, not a ******. And the reason I lean toward the second is simple: look at what the shorts are actually betting against. For months their thesis was that AMPG wouldn't execute, that revenue wouldn't show up, that it keeps drifting lower. The problem is the opposite kept happening, and the last earnings call made that impossible to ignore. Let me walk through it. Start with the core. AMPG is the only American company commercializing the 64T64R Massive MIMO AI-RAN radio, the physical layer open AI-RAN runs on. Already deployed at Telus, a Tier-1 carrier. Right beside Samsung. 2 out of 5 radios from TELUS. 48% gross margins, up from 33%. Debt-free. That alone breaks the "won't execute" thesis. Then the call got louder. COO Jorge Flores on Telus (detective): "We continue to receive orders against that LOI as well". And on the quarter: "We are projecting Q2 to be definitely much higher than Q1." Q1 was already $5.35M, up 48.6%. So the ramp the bears said wouldn't materialize is not only materializing, it's accelerating. Then CEO Fawad Maqbool dropped the part nobody's pricing. On new carriers: "We've had very productive discussions with major MNOs, and it's more likely they'll go straight to POs, no LOIs. We'll be announcing those in the next quarter or so." . Major operators, plural, potentially skipping the letter-of-intent stage and going straight to firm purchase orders. That's a stronger commitment than how Telus even started. And then he pointed abroad: "Our success being the largest O-RAN deployment in America is helping us reach further into Europe and other areas of the world.". That's not empty talk. AMPG already signed a 5-year supplier agreement with Fujitsu Spain covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The international runway is already open. Also, working closely with UK funded hub, being the only american one there. Now stack the optionality on top, the parts you don't even pay for at this valuation. Quantum: AMPG makes the cryogenic amplifiers that superconducting quantum computers need for qubit readout, and has shipped proof-of-concept units to names like IBM and Google. Honest framing: optionality, not revenue yet, and it serves the superconducting branch specifically. But it's real, patented, and American. Space: back in December 2024, AMPG shipped prototype amplifiers to an unnamed "Fortune 50 satellite systems provider" building a LEO constellation, tens of thousands of units expected. The only Fortune 50 building its own LEO network is Amazon, with Project Kuiper. Then Amazon showed up on AMPG's customer wall. Honest framing again: the wall confirms Amazon is a customer, not specifically that it's the LEO buyer, that link is my deduction. But the breadcrumbs stack cleanly, and with SpaceX now public, the entire space sector just got validated. So put it all together. This isn't a meme pump. It's a company that has spent months stacking catalysts: a flagship carrier deployment, accelerating revenue, expanding margins, new carriers near firm POs, a European channel opening, and free optionality in quantum and space. With customers like: 🔹 NVIDIA 🔹 Amazon 🔹 IBM 🔹 Boeing 🔹 Lockheed Martin 🔹 Northrop Grumman 🔹 L3Harris 🔹 NASA Eventually the market stops ignoring that. That's why the shorts are in real trouble. They're not fighting momentum anymore. They're short against improving fundamentals on multiple fronts at once, and time now works against them. Every quarter of execution makes their thesis weaker, not stronger. Honest caveat: a re-rating isn't guaranteed, and one green day doesn't confirm it. The CEO's PO and Europe comments are forward-looking, his words, not signed deals yet, so watch for the actual PRs. The real test is whether this holds and builds, or fades like a pure cover. But the framing is right. A squeeze is a moment. A re-rating is a trend. Shorts betting against a falling story is one trade. Shorts betting against a company that's actually getting better, across telecom, defense, space and quantum, is a completely different and far more dangerous one. I think we might be watching the second one begin. Still sub $1B. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡
