Amphenol stock slips as Wall Street waits for earnings next week

Amphenol stock slips as Wall Street waits for earnings next week

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 15:15 EST — Regular session

  • Amphenol shares dipped roughly 0.9% in afternoon trading, adding to their recent slide
  • Attention now turns to the company’s quarterly report and outlook, due January 28
  • Investors are closely monitoring how the newly acquired CommScope connectivity business is being integrated

Shares of Amphenol Corp dipped roughly 0.9% to $151.14 on Friday, with investors pulling back ahead of the company’s earnings report due next week.

The pullback is significant since Amphenol has hovered close to recent peaks. The upcoming update offers one of the earliest clear signals on demand across its key markets. If guidance falls short, expect a swift sell-off among crowded winners; a strong outlook, on the other hand, could sustain the rally.

Amphenol, the maker of connectors, sensors, and cables for industrial, automotive, and data and telecom gear, slipped 1.36% to close at $152.50 on Thursday. The stock underperformed several peers despite gains in the wider market. (MarketWatch)

The company plans to release its fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, Jan. 28, with a conference call slated for 1 p.m. ET, per its investor event listing. (Amphenol)

Nasdaq’s earnings calendar lists Jan. 28 as the expected date for the report, set to drop before the market opens. (Nasdaq)

Investors are digging into the details after Amphenol closed its purchase of CommScope’s Connectivity & Cable Solutions unit earlier this month. The company expects the deal to boost adjusted profits by 2026. (Amphenol)

By mid-afternoon Friday, Amphenol’s trading volume was below average, with some investors holding back ahead of the upcoming report.

The risk is clear: if Amphenol’s outlook hints at slowing orders or rising integration costs, the stock could quickly re-rate, especially given its already high expectations.

Traders are set to eye the Jan. 28 results closely, looking for the company’s 2026 outlook, insights on demand from data centers and industrial sectors, and an initial take on margins incorporating the new CommScope assets.

  • Top 2025 Stock Picks Show Strong Gains, Mixed Outlook for 2026
    January 23, 2026, 3:51 PM EST. Six of the top 10 stock picks for 2025 posted gains exceeding 25%, including Nvidia, TSMC, and dLocal. Nvidia and TSMC, pivotal in artificial intelligence (AI) hardware, remain well positioned due to ongoing AI investment surges. dLocal, specializing in payment processing in emerging markets, still has significant growth potential despite being down 80% from its all-time high. Other strong performers like CrowdStrike, ASML, and Alphabet showed full valuations, potentially limiting sharp gains next year. CrowdStrike trades at 25 times sales while ASML and Alphabet hold forward price-to-earnings ratios of 43 and 29 respectively, signaling possible valuation risks. Despite this, these stocks are expected to outperform the broader market in 2026, driven by solid fundamentals and sector momentum.
