Amphenol Corporation Class A (APH)

In the past six months, Amphenol reported record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results and continued this momentum into the first quarter of 2026. Amphenol completed the acquisition of CommScope's Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) business in January 2026 and five acquisitions during 2025, including Trexon. Amphenol announced its second-quarter 2026 dividend in May 2026 and declared a quarterly dividend to be paid in July 2026. Amphenol announced the pricing of Euro-denominated senior notes offerings in March and May 2026 to refinance existing debt. Following strong quarterly results, several brokerages increased price targets and reiterated positive ratings for APH. There has been notable insider selling, including CEO Richard Adam Norwitt selling shares in February 2026. Amphenol's share price has seen substantial growth, with an 88.6% return over the past year as of May 2026.

Amphenol's demand is influenced by the diverse end markets it serves, which include automotive, broadband communications, commercial aerospace, defense, industrial, information technology and data communications, mobile devices, and mobile networks. The company's strong organic growth in most end markets, particularly IT datacom, and its record book-to-bill ratio in Q1 2026 suggest robust current demand. The company's expanding portfolio in industrial end markets, driven by renewable energy infrastructure, electric mobility, heavy equipment, and industrial instrumentation, also indicates strong and potentially growing demand in these areas.
