Amphenol stock slips into earnings week: what to watch for APH after the $10.5 billion CCS deal

New York, Jan 25, 2026, 15:32 ET — Market closed.

  • Amphenol shares ended Friday at $150.99, slipping 1% for the session.
  • Investors are focused on the Jan. 28 earnings report and the company’s guidance for 2026.
  • Attention remains fixed on the recently completed acquisition and integration of CommScope CCS.

Amphenol Corp shares closed Friday roughly 1% lower, retreating ahead of a crucial week for the connectivity firm while U.S. markets remained closed over the weekend. 1

Amphenol is set to release its fourth-quarter results Wednesday, and investors won’t just be focused on the headline figures. The key will be the company’s outlook for demand in 2026. The stock surged through January but remains vulnerable to shifts in sentiment tied to industrial and data-center spending. 2

The timing is tricky. Amphenol’s fiscal year wraps up on Dec. 31, but its largest recent acquisition didn’t close until early January. That shifts the focus—guidance and integration updates will likely matter more than past financial results. 3

Amphenol wrapped up Friday at $150.99. The stock swung between $147.90 and $151.80, with roughly 7.3 million shares traded, per StockAnalysis data.

After-hours trading, which takes place after the 4 p.m. close, saw the stock last priced at $150.48, slipping roughly 0.3%. 1

Broader U.S. stocks wrapped up Friday on a mixed note: the S&P 500 eked out a gain, but the Dow slipped, closing out a losing week for the key indexes. 4

Amphenol’s stock has occasionally moved in line with its competitors. On Thursday, it dipped 1.36%, whereas TE Connectivity ended the day with a modest gain, according to MarketWatch. 5

The company is still working through the acquisition of CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions unit. An SEC filing confirmed Amphenol finalized the deal on Jan. 9, paying roughly $10.5 billion in cash, with usual post-closing adjustments pending. 6

Amphenol announced the deal broadens its fiber and industrial interconnect portfolio. CEO R. Adam Norwitt highlighted that acquiring the CCS business “adds significant fiber optic interconnect capabilities” in a Jan. 12 statement confirming the closing. 7

CommScope, having offloaded the unit, said it will channel the proceeds toward debt repayment and preferred equity redemption, highlighting the deal’s impact on both balance sheets. 8

The coming sessions could swing either way. If orders show caution, integration drags, or clients start scaling back network and data-center expansions, the stock might slip back toward January lows.

Amphenol plans to release its earnings before the market opens on Jan. 28. A conference call is set for 1 p.m. ET that day. 2
