Amphenol’s numbers are helping keep growth investors in the stock. The company posted first-quarter sales of $7.6 billion, a 58% jump, with orders at $9.4 billion and book-to-bill at 1.24. CEO R. Adam Norwitt said Amphenol “booked record orders” for the quarter. Amphenol Investors
Norwitt told investors on the April earnings call that IT datacom made up 41% of first-quarter sales, up 99% in dollars and 81% organically. He said “virtually all” of the sequential organic growth came from AI-related products. But he warned “there will be ups and downs” in the AI investment pace. The Motley Fool
That’s the key level for the stock this July. Amphenol forecasts Q2 sales in a range of $8.1 billion to $8.2 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.14 to $1.16, both up over 40% from last year. The next earnings release will need to show orders, data-center demand and CommScope integration are still driving the valuation.
Amphenol (APH) has declared a $0.25 per-share dividend for the quarter. The payout hits July 15 for investors holding shares at the close June 23. The dividend is listed, but traders aren’t focused on it for the main move.
