Amphenol, known for its connectors and cables spanning data communications, industrial, and other sectors, has caught Wall Street’s eye recently. Investors are zeroing in on any clues about order trends and pricing strength. The upcoming earnings report is near enough to influence moves, yet distant enough to keep traders on edge.
Goldman Sachs bumped up its price target on Amphenol to $183 from $165, maintaining a Buy rating, while Bank of America nudged its target to $165 from $163 and kept its Buy stance, according to TheFly. A price target reflects an analyst’s projection of where the stock might trade within a certain timeframe. (TipRanks)
Last week, the company revealed details of a mandatory “open offer” in India—a tender bid mandated by local takeover laws—to acquire up to 26% of ADC India Communications from public shareholders. Amphenol set the offer price at 1,233.59 rupees per share, roughly $13.68, which would total about $16.36 million in cash if fully taken up, the company said. (Business Wire)
Amphenol has wrapped up its purchase of CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions business. CEO R. Adam Norwitt highlighted that the deal “adds significant fiber optic interconnect capabilities for the IT datacom and communications networks markets.” The company projects CCS will bring in around $4.1 billion in sales for full-year 2026 and boost 2026 diluted EPS by roughly $0.15, excluding acquisition-related costs, according to Amphenol.

Last year, Amphenol struck a deal to acquire the CommScope unit for $10.5 billion in cash, Reuters reported at the time. (Reuters)
Still, the setup works both ways. Much of the optimism is baked into the share price already, so a slip in margins, a cautious forecast, or any integration hiccups could trigger a swift sell-off.
Nasdaq notes the upcoming quarterly report, due Jan. 28 before the market opens, as the next major trigger. Investors will focus on guidance and any updates on whether the new CommScope assets are performing as expected. (Nasdaq)
