Defiance ETFs announced the launch of the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long AMPX ETF (AMPU) on May 6 2026. The fund seeks to deliver 200% of the daily percentage change in Amprius Technologies, Inc. (AMPX) share price and is designed for active traders who want amplified, short‑term bullish exposure to the company. AMPU will trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
AMPU uses a combination of swap agreements and options contracts to replicate the leveraged exposure. Because the fund resets its leverage each trading day, it is subject to the daily reset effect, which can cause the long‑term performance to diverge from the 200% target if held beyond a single day. The leveraged structure makes the product high‑risk and suitable only for investors who understand the compounding dynamics.
This launch marks the first leveraged ETF for AMPX and expands Defiance’s portfolio of single‑stock leveraged ETFs. By providing a new vehicle for amplified exposure, the product is expected to increase trading activity and liquidity for AMPX shares, potentially raising short‑term volatility and creating a new channel for capital inflows into the company.
Amprius Technologies, a leader in silicon anode lithium‑ion batteries for aerospace, defense, and electric‑mobility applications, is expected to report Q1 2026 earnings around the same time. Analysts anticipate revenue of about $25.7 million and an earnings‑per‑share figure of –$0.02, roughly in line with prior guidance. The launch of AMPU comes as the company continues to grow its revenue base while managing a net loss, underscoring investor interest in its high‑energy‑density technology.
Investors should note that leveraged ETFs are designed for short‑term trading and can experience significant losses if held over multiple days due to the daily reset mechanism. The product’s high leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and the use of derivatives introduces additional counterparty risk. As such, AMPU is best suited for experienced traders who can monitor the fund’s performance closely.
