New York, Jan 24, 2026, 17:26 (EST) — Market closed.
- Amphenol shares closed Friday down 1% at $150.99 and slipped even more during after-hours trading.
- Wall Street expects Q4 profit and sales to climb, led by Communications Solutions, which is forecasted to post the largest year-over-year increase.
- Investors are gearing up for the company’s Jan. 28 earnings release, paying close attention to how management discusses demand and margins.
Amphenol Corp shares ended Friday down 1% at $150.99 and dipped another 0.3% to $150.48 in after-hours, during a quiet electronic session. The stock swung between $147.90 and $151.80 in regular trading, with roughly 7.3 million shares exchanging hands.
U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, so the next major event is Amphenol’s Q4 earnings report set for Jan. 28. The company will hold a results call at 1 p.m. ET that day.
Amphenol is forecast to report earnings per share of $0.93 on $5.84 billion in revenue, according to a Zacks Equity Research preview featured on Finviz. That would represent a 69.1% increase in EPS year-over-year and a 35.2% jump in revenue. Communications Solutions net sales are expected to hit $3.25 billion.
Friday’s session delivered a mixed bag. The S&P 500 inched higher by 0.03%, but the Dow dropped 0.58%, according to MarketWatch data. Meanwhile, connector rival TE Connectivity slid 3.25% in that same stretch.
Amphenol is still digesting a big acquisition as it heads into the print. On Jan. 12, it announced the completion of its purchase of CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions business. CEO R. Adam Norwitt highlighted the deal’s addition of “significant” fiber-optic interconnect capabilities for IT datacom and communications networks. The acquired unit is projected to bring in around $4.1 billion in sales by 2026 and will be folded into Amphenol’s Communications Solutions segment. Amphenol Investors
But the bar isn’t exactly low. Amphenol trades around 50 times earnings, with shares hovering near their 52-week highs. That setup tends to amplify the market’s response to any earnings miss or cautious guidance.
Investors are keen to hear how the company describes demand within Communications Solutions, now that the CommScope asset is part of that segment. They’ll also watch for any hints from management about short-term margin pressure tied to integration and product mix. In this environment, guidance carries as much weight as the quarterly results.
Trading picks up again Monday, with attention quickly turning to the Jan. 28 earnings report and conference call. That’s the next key checkpoint to see if Amphenol’s recent rally is backed by solid results.
