Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF

BATT

Market cap $111M

Plenty of attention from investors has been focused on a few high-attention sectors and strategies as of late, such as gold and artificial intelligence. However, there are strategies and investment approaches that may very well be flying under the radar right now.

The Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT) has returned 91.2% over the past year. This comes as lithium prices doubled from their 2025 lows to around $20,000 per metric ton, shifting from oversupply to what analysts call a structural deficit.

As of Friday, February 13, the Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT) has jumped 14.5% year-to-date, according to YCharts. It holds a slight edge over the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT), which is up 10.94% in the same period.

A fresh push from Washington to secure access to critical minerals could bring fresh investor interest across the U.S. ETF market.

Amplify ETFs had an impressive year in 2025, outperforming the broader market in both asset growth rate and performance across its thematic and income-oriented suites.  The firm ended the year with 39 ETFs in its lineup and a total of $17 billion in assets under management.

Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF has lagged the S&P 500 by 50% since late 2022, reflecting severe volatility and cyclical swings. BATT's low correlation to the S&P 500 and sector diversification provide long-term portfolio construction value, despite recent underperformance. Recent lithium market weakness and volatile 40%+ six-month swings make BATT a 'trade and protect' holding, not a classic buy-and-hold.

While investors fixated on artificial intelligence throughout 2025, the battery supply chain quietly delivered exceptional returns, powering everything from electric vehicles to grid storage.

When it comes to getting electric vehicles (EV) exposure, the most recognized name within domestic borders is certainly Tesla. However, BYD Company is a name that more investors should be familiar with, and one of the top ETFs with exposure to BYD is the Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT).

With this year's AI-fueled mega cap rally showing signs of potential frothiness, investors might be wondering how to recharge their growth allocation. One thematic fund to consider is the Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT).

A rush for critical minerals is underway, the backbone of electric vehicles, batteries and clean energy systems, with two U.S.-listed ETFs positioned in the center of it all: the VanEck Rare Earth And Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE:REMX) which is up more than 7% in the past month, and the Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (NYSE:BATT), which has gained 6% in the past month.
