Amphenol Corporation Class A (APH)

Amphenol Corp.'s stock has delivered a strong 21.7% gain over the past six months. In August 2025, Amphenol announced its acquisition of CommScope's connectivity and cables business.

Adam Norwitt as Chairman of the Board, and Director Robert Livingston purchased 10,000 shares of Amphenol stock.
