Amphenol stock slips as earnings near — what APH investors watch next week

Amphenol stock slips as earnings near — what APH investors watch next week

New York, January 22, 2026, 20:57 EST — The market has closed for the day.

Amphenol Corp shares dipped 1.36% to close at $152.50 on Thursday, trailing both a rising Wall Street and some of its industrial-electronics rivals. The S&P 500 climbed 0.55%, the Dow added 0.63%, while TE Connectivity nudged up and Eaton slipped, per MarketWatch data. 1

Amphenol is pulling back ahead of a packed earnings schedule. Zacks Equity Research notes the company will release its fourth-quarter 2025 results on Jan. 28. Over the past month, the consensus earnings-per-share estimate has inched up to 93 cents. 2

Amphenol has scheduled a conference call for Jan. 28 at 1 p.m. ET, according to its investor calendar. The focus will be on management’s outlook for 2026 demand and whether recent deals will affect the company’s growth trajectory. 3

The stock climbed 1.49% on Wednesday, ending the day at $154.60 amid a wider rally, nudging it near recent peaks. Trading volume exceeded its 50-day average, according to MarketWatch data. 4

It dropped 1.33% Tuesday, snapping a two-day rally, though it still outpaced many rivals amid a broader market decline. Trading volume surged past its 50-day average, MarketWatch noted. 5

Amphenol manufactures connectors, interconnect systems, antennas, sensors, and specialty cables. Its products serve industries such as industrial, defense, commercial aerospace, automotive, mobile networks, and IT and data communications. The company runs three segments, among them Harsh Environment Solutions and Communications Solutions, per Reuters company data. 6

Earlier this month, Amphenol closed its purchase of CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions business, projecting around $4.1 billion in sales by 2026. CEO R. Adam Norwitt highlighted that the acquisition “adds significant fiber optic interconnect capabilities” for IT datacom and communications networks. The company also expects the deal to boost 2026 diluted EPS by roughly $0.15, not counting acquisition-related costs. 7

Traders are expected to zero in on revenue growth, operating margins, and shifts in order trends linked to data-center expansions and aerospace and defense projects. Investors usually drill down on “organic” growth — the gains from the core business, excluding acquisitions.

Amphenol reported record sales of $6.2 billion for the third quarter of 2025, marking a 53% jump in U.S. dollars. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $0.93. The company also boosted its quarterly dividend by 52%, raising it to $0.25 per share. 8

Expectations can swing either way. Any cautious comments on near-term demand, margin hits from integration costs, or disappointing results from newer ventures could drag the shares down, particularly after a rally that has pushed the stock close to its peak.

The next key date is Wednesday, when Amphenol releases earnings for Jan. 28, followed by a 1 p.m. ET call where management will outline their immediate plans. 9
